Operable transom windows? Do such things exist?

2011-04-15T09:43:00.001-07:00

As part of a renovation project we are trying to select doors that will open from a living space to a rooftop deck. We want to maximize the view and could go with either french or sliding doors but we also want to have moderately secure ventilation. Our architect had the idea of putting operable transom windows above the doors, but we're having trouble finding them--we've found plenty of patio doors that have a FIXED transom option, but none that are operable. Do such things exist?

Double-Hung Windows

Double Hung Windows are very popular in America today because of their functionality. Both sashes of the Double Hung windows move up or down within the frame. Bottom half can be raised and upper section can be lowered.

If the upper half of Double Hung windows slides down, a pair of tensioners for window sashes will be needed.

Garden Windows
(AKA green house windows)
Garden windows of quality are well insulated at the seat board. They have insulated glass with low E so that growing plants will not be a headache. High-quality garden windows do not leak as long as installed properly nor do casement sashes leak when closed and locked.

Garden windows allow growing plants in winter time, esp. if a window faces south or west.
