Traditional Transom Grid

Transom grids are a type of window above a door, window, or other glazing materials; the most common type are found above a door. Sizes of transoms also mimic the size of the door. On a 36" wide door, you will usually find a 36" transom that is 24" in height. A rule of thumb for a standard proportional transom height is to use 1/3 of the door's height. A large curtain wall can utilize a transom and will follow the bay divisions of the wall. At times, the transom can be cut to an arch shape for functional or aesthetic purposes.

A transom is typically also fixed glass or operates like a hopper window. A fixed transom has no operable parts. Its main purpose is to let light into a room and provide architectural appeal. An operable transom has a hinge at the bottom of the window. The transom will then open into a room, preventing rain, wind, or snow from entering room during inclement weather.
