For More Daylight in the Home Try Transom Windows


More from the Window Replacement Gallery

Transom windows are usually long rectangular windows that allow an abundance of natural light into the home or apartment. Some of them are fixed and cannot be opened, while others have a hinge at the bottom and open from the top. 

Smaller versions of these windows are typically built beneath the transom beam. The window is installed above the door and vertically, to create a spectacular entryway.  

These windows are not always rectangular in shape. Many of these windows are fan-shaped or semi-circular in design. When opened, these windows provide the primary air circulation in older Victorian homes. If you’re fortunate enough to have both a ceiling fan and a transom window in your home, it makes for a great air conditioning system, even in the summertime.

These windows are making a comeback in many remodeling projects and the biggest reason why is because of all the natural light they produce. If you’re thinking about installing a transom window in your home, consider the different types and functions this vintage window can provide.
