Greek Revival Bath with Transom Windows
This bathroom was introduced into an 1853 Greek Revival row house. The home owners desired modern amenities like radiant floor heating, a steam shower, and a towel warmer. But they also wanted the space to match the period charm of their older home. A large glass-encased shower stall is the central player in the new bathroom. Lined with 3" x 6" white subway tile and fully enclosed by glass, the shower is bright and welcoming. And then the transom window at the top is closed, steam jets lining the shower create a relaxing spa. Although placed on an interior wall, the new bath is filled with abundant natural light, thanks to transom windows which welcome sunshine from the hallway. Photos by Shelly Harrison.

Charlie Allen Restorations Inc Hi zweigee,
We didn't actually purchase these transom windows - instead, they are panes of glass that were made to our specifications and then we installed them with window stops and interior trim. These particular windows are fixed - a very cost-effective solution. However, if you're looking for movable transom windows, you should be able to purchase them from any window supply company. Good luck and please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Rachel Grace to Renovation Detail: Beadboard Wainscoting
In a bathroom with so many cool surfaces, beadboard wainscoting has a warming effect.
added by Becky Harris to 10 Cleverly Crafty Ways to Refashion a Door
Translucent glass. If you need some privacy, you can replace clear glass with frosted or etched glass.
