Stained Glass Transom Windows Add Light, Beauty, and Class to Dallas Homes
Transom windows have been popular in Dallas homes for many years, but although people are familiar with these narrow windows, they are not always sure what they are called. A transom is that narrow rectangular or half-moon shaped pane of glass that sits above your front door, or sometimes near the ceiling of a room. These windows usually do not open, but they serve a very important purpose—they let more light into your home. And they are a unique, stunning and absolutely perfect place to add that designer touch to you home, via custom stained glass.
Transom windows are also known as fanlights, overlights, hoppers, or the French word, vasistas.
to create some style that looks beautiful in any home.
If you are adding stained glass to the sidelights next to your door, and even in your front door itself, you might want to add a transom window above the door to give the whole entryway a more elegant, finished look.
