Why Choose Transom Windows?

Transom windows are an elegant and sophisticated solution for Calgary homeowners who value both architectural beauty and practical functionality. These distinctive windows are positioned above doors, larger windows, or between rooms, creating a seamless flow of natural light throughout your home. Unlike traditional windows, transom windows are specifically designed to maximize light penetration while maintaining privacy and structural integrity.

Their horizontal orientation and strategic placement make them ideal for areas where wall space is limited but additional light is desired. Whether fixed or operable, transom windows add visual height to rooms, creating an impression of expanded space and openness that’s particularly valuable in Calgary’s diverse architectural landscape.

Crafted with advanced multi-chambered frames, premium weather-stripping, and optional triple glazing, these windows deliver exceptional thermal performance against Calgary’s temperature variations. Their refined hardware and streamlined profiles complement any architectural style while providing decades of reliable performance.

Need Answers? We've Got You Covered!

We know replacing windows is a big decision, and you may have questions. Here are some of the most common inquiries from our customers.

What are transom windows and where are they typically installed?

Transom windows are horizontal windows positioned above doors, larger windows, or between rooms. They’re commonly installed above front doors, patio doors, interior doorways, and in areas where additional natural light is desired without compromising privacy or wall space.

Can transom windows be opened for ventilation in Calgary's climate?

Yes, operable transom windows can be opened and closed to provide controlled ventilation. They’re designed with hinged mechanisms that allow for airflow management while maintaining weather resistance suitable for Calgary’s variable climate conditions.

Do transom windows provide good insulation for Calgary winters?

Absolutely. Modern transom windows feature advanced insulation technologies including multi-chambered frames, triple-seal weather-stripping, and optional triple glazing that provide excellent thermal performance against Calgary’s temperature fluctuations.

What styles and shapes are available for transom windows?

Transom windows come in various configurations including rectangular, arched, curved, and custom geometric shapes. They can feature clear glass, decorative glass patterns, or art glass designs to match your home’s architectural style and personal preferences.

How do transom windows affect home security?

Transom windows, particularly fixed versions, don’t compromise security as they’re typically positioned high above entry points. Operable versions can include locking mechanisms, and their elevated placement makes them less accessible to potential intruders.

Are transom windows suitable for all types of Calgary homes?

Yes, transom windows complement various architectural styles from traditional to contemporary. They’re particularly beneficial in Calgary homes where maximizing natural light is important, and they can be customized to match existing window styles and home aesthetics.

What maintenance do transom windows require?

Transom windows require minimal maintenance. Fixed versions need occasional cleaning, while operable versions may require periodic hardware lubrication. Their elevated position often means they stay cleaner longer than standard windows.
