Add Light, Elegance, and Architectural Charm
Louisville Transom Windows
Positioned above doors or other windows, transoms are a timeless feature that brings in natural light without sacrificing privacy. Whether you’re looking to elevate a traditional home or add a sophisticated touch to a modern design, transom windows offer both form and function.
Transom windows are windows that sit above a door or window. They were originally designed to add ventilation to homes while keeping doors locked and the home secure. Today they are primarily used for added light and beauty. Transom windows are available in many shapes and can be stationary or operating depending on preference.

The Benefits of
Transom Windows
Increased Natural Light – Transom windows are ideal for brightening up darker areas of the home, such as hallways, entryways, or interior rooms. By sitting above eye level, they let in sunlight while preserving wall space and maintaining privacy.
Architectural Appeal – These windows add instant visual interest and elegance. From classic arched designs to sleek rectangular styles, transoms enhance the look of any room or entryway and can complement a variety of architectural styles.
Custom Options – Choose from fixed or operable transoms, decorative glass, grille patterns, and frame finishes to match your personal style. Whether you’re looking for a traditional or modern aesthetic, there’s a transom window to suit every taste.
Improved Ventilation (Optional) – Operable transom windows can be opened to improve air circulation—ideal for spaces like bathrooms or sunrooms. They allow for airflow without compromising security or layout.
Space-Saving Design – Since they’re installed above doors or windows, transoms don’t take up usable wall space. This makes them a smart way to enhance your home’s openness and light without altering the structure of the room.
