What are door transoms?
Round door transoms are decorative and functional elements that are placed on the outside of the door, often around its frame, to provide additional light into the room and improve the aesthetics of the door. These are glazed or ventilated panels or windows that surround the door from the sides or above. Their main functions are:
Light Supply: Door transoms fitted around doors allow natural light to enter a room, which can help reduce the need for artificial lighting and improve the overall ambience of the interior.
Aesthetics: Door transoms can add elegance and character to both the door and the entire room. They can have various patterns, shapes and finishes that match the style and aesthetics of the interior.
Privacy: Glazing in door transoms can also be made of frosted or fogged glass, providing some privacy in the room while still maintaining the availability of light.
Installing door fanlights around doors requires proper preparation and assembly skills to ensure proper sealing and thermal insulation. This is a popular option for entrance doors, especially those of a higher standard, where both functionality and appearance are important.
