Those transoms are pretty short to be a separate window.

Think about how this appears from the inside when you go to install window treatments. Use a larger window and 86 the transoms.

I like that idea.

I'm waiting for a response from the Marvin Rep regarding the glass height if we go with a fixed casement. Maybe we'll have to 86 the transoms altogether. Appreciate both of your insights.

Bev, do they keep the transom above the door to match window height?

Here's a photo of the entire back of the house

How about the front where the door and wind are?

The transomes in the back look like slivers IMO.”

We were in a similar situation, and as suggested above went with a larger window and added cottage grills to give the same “look” as having a transom

.

Grills are a great idea, we'll look at that. Thanks

These are Integrity SDL, they really look good. Forgot to mention, this saved a ton of money also. With transoms, you have two windows to pay for. With grills, you have one window with an upcharge for the grill.

ikbum-gw's windows look great and give a transom look without the transom. Keeping all the frames and casings (trim) consistent would be there better option imo. Good luck!

IMO those transoms are too small and the idea of the grids is a good one

What would we do above the door...instead of a 8' make it a 9' with a transom? Not sure they come that tall....ugh.

I'd probably keep the transom on the door.

Or...toss the whole mess and just put a three glassed slider in both of the rooms. It would match the one in the kitchen which is 8' X 12" wide.

@Ann On Tellico what did you end up deciding here? we are in the same boat as you were!

We ended up forgoing the transoms over the windows in the rooms with only 10' ceilings and leaving them in the taller rooms. I still am not crazy about how narrow the transoms are over the sliding glass door. I would have made the ceiling 14' instead of 12' but it's alright.

@Ann On Tellico so did you keep mixed windows (a picture window, a casement window, and a transom winodw) all in one room?

We were going to do casement windows and picture windows but I just found out what you had mentioned - that their profiles are different and they won't technically "match." They make casement picture windows that do match, I think we'll go that route, but I just found out that transom windows won't match either. Losing my mind over here! Not sure what to do now, we can't get rid of the transoms as we have vaulted ceilings and they go high up on the vaulted ceiling wall

I'd reach out to the window manufacturer for help. I feel your pain!!!

Did you guys keep a mix of casement & picture windows or just go all casement windows (since they have different sight lines and picture windows have narrower frames)?
