Slide transom unit into the opening directly atop the head jamb of the door.
A transom over a double door better visually connects the two rooms and shares light between the two.
The pattern or design of the muntins for the transom usually does not align with the muntin bars or stiles of the doors below.
Double door units can be ordered with a pre planned transom above but no transom sash installed.
These door units come with a pre finished jamb above the doors.
Above a tall window with limestone surround is nestled under the flared eaves of the hipped slate roofed gable that completes the composition.
The jamb above the door is of course empty and our planning and measuring tools will help you measure the interior of the jamb to order the correct sash size to fill it.
At the interior of the transom s jamb face nail the transom unit to the door unit using 1 1 4 trim nails along each side of the sash.
