Double casement windows with transom are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add a touch of elegance and functionality to their living spaces. These windows feature two side-by-side casement windows topped by a transom window, which allows for additional light and ventilation. In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages of double casement windows with transom, the various styles available, and how to choose the right one for your home.
One of the main benefits of double casement windows with transom is their ability to provide excellent ventilation. The side-by-side casement windows can be opened fully, allowing for maximum airflow and creating a pleasant, breezy atmosphere in your home. The transom window above can also be opened, further improving air circulation.
Double casement windows with transom are designed to let in more natural light than traditional windows. The transom window above the casement windows allows sunlight to stream in from a higher angle, brightening up your living spaces and reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
The combination of double casement windows and a transom window adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to your home's exterior. This window style can elevate the overall appearance of your home, making it more visually appealing and potentially increasing its value.
Double casement windows with transom are available in a wide range of styles, materials, and finishes, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your home's architectural style and your personal preferences.
Traditional double casement windows with transom often feature a classic design with wooden frames and mullions. This style is perfect for older homes or those with a more traditional architectural style, such as Victorian or Colonial homes.
Contemporary double casement windows with transom are characterized by clean lines and minimalistic design elements. They often feature slim frames made of materials like aluminum or vinyl, and may have larger glass panes for a more streamlined appearance. This style is ideal for modern homes or those with a minimalist aesthetic.
Rustic double casement windows with transom are perfect for homes with a more natural, cozy feel. They often feature wooden frames and mullions with a distressed or weathered finish, and may have decorative elements like wrought iron hardware or textured glass panes.
For homeowners who want a truly unique look, custom double casement windows with transom can be designed to suit your specific preferences. This can include custom frame materials, finishes, and decorative elements, as well as unique shapes and sizes for the casement and transom windows.
When selecting double casement windows with transom, consider the following factors:
1. Architectural Style: Choose a window style that complements the overall look and feel of your home's architecture. This will ensure a cohesive appearance and enhance your home's curb appeal.
2. Material: Consider the various materials available for window frames, such as wood, aluminum, or vinyl. Each material has its own advantages and drawbacks, so weigh the options carefully to find the best fit for your needs.
3. Energy Efficiency: Look for double casement windows with transom that offer energy-efficient features, such as double or triple glazing, low-emissivity coatings, and insulating gas fills. These features can help reduce heat transfer and lower your energy bills.
4. Maintenance: Consider the maintenance requirements of the windows you choose. Some materials, like vinyl, require very little maintenance, while others, like wood, may need more frequent upkeep to maintain their appearance and prevent damage.
5. Budget: Finally, keep your budget in mind when selecting double casement windows with transom. While custom options and high-end materials can be more expensive, there are plenty of affordable options available that still offer style and functionality.
In conclusion, double casement windows with transom are a stylish and functional choice for any home. By considering factors such as architectural style, material, energy efficiency, maintenance, and budget, you can find the perfect windows to enhance your living spaces and improve your home's overall appearance.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
Every window’s placement and shape not only add to the uniqueness of this home but also provide a more energy-saving ability for the owners.
Doorwin energy-efficient integrated glazing units feature double-pane glass, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered glass, they can not only create a comfortable and natural indoor environment but also save electricity bills and heating bills of more than 100 USD for the owner, it’s a real bargain compared to choosing a regular glazing set.
Aluminum Door offered an air of uniqueness and elegance to a home. With their luxurious patterns and beautiful finishes, it provides this house with a bounty of aesthetics and security. Aluminum entry doors allow you to resist any weather extremes, corrosion, and pests. So aluminum is one of the most resilient and durable materials you can select for front doors considering the price/performance ratio.

Multi-point lock systems provide not only the burglar-resistance but also a tighter compression seam, making the window keeps good energy-efficient performance. Together with Technoform Bautec’s insulation edge bond and sealant strips, these make up our products' top insulation and energy-saving performance.
