Iron Doors with Transoms

Take advantage of a tall opening with a coordinated transom that adds overhead glass and emphasizes vertical scale.

Make Height Part of the Design

A transom occupies the space above the door and allows a taller opening to become an intentional architectural feature. The design can continue the lines and glass patterns of the door upward, helping the complete entrance feel connected. Transoms can be used above single or double doors and can also be combined with sidelights to frame the entire entrance.

ADDED HEIGHT

Use vertical space intentionally.

OVERHEAD LIGHT

Bring additional daylight into the foyer.

COORDINATED DESIGN

Continue patterns above the door.

COMPLETE ENTRY SYSTEM

Combine with sidelights if desired.
