Transom windows are the ones you’ve probably seen above doors in older homes – they became a traditional part of Georgian style architecture in the 19th century. Transom windows are placed above or on either side of your door and are available in many different shapes (rectangular, semi-circle, fan, etc.).
Transom windows are used as accent windows on many homes, but they offer a number of benefits. Advantages of installing transom windows include:
Appearance: the obvious benefit transom windows offer is the enhanced architectural detail they add to your home. Often they are used solely for aesthetics!
Natural light: transom doors can easily lighten your foyer or front hall. In this way, you can even save a little on your electricity bills by keeping the lights off longer and letting your windows bring in natural sunlight!
Durability: most transom windows are stationary and don’t have moving parts that break or get worn down, making them one of the most durable windows on the market.
Ventilation: like to let in the breeze on warm days? Some transom windows open and can give you the additional ventilation you’re looking for. In the summer, when used with a ceiling fan, transom windows can really help you cut down on AC use and help reduce your energy bills!
