Many homes have a low curb appeal, when someone is looking to purchase a home or rent it, the first thing you want them to say when the see the house is "wow", not "oh". A person could do many things to help a home's curb appeal. For example, clean up the yard, cut grass, even paint the outside, those things help. But there is also one other thing that can create an outstanding feature, that improves the home as soon as some one sees it, a Transom Window.

We have all seen them there on many homes, if you were to compare the outward appearance of two homes that are similar, the installation of a transom window will make the home look more expensive, and higher quality. The reason is because the higher quality homes DO have transom windows, where as the lower quality homes were built at the cheapest possible cost. This doesn't mean in the slightest that transom windows are out of range in cost, by far they are the opposite. The cost of a transom is the same as any other window, and in most cases cheaper, because there is less of an area for it to fit into, so there is less glass to purchase.

A transom window is more than just a show piece. A transom window also allows natural sun light into a home, making the area it shines upon a seemingly larger. Creating a brighter area, and making a home a more welcoming environment. With the addition of stained glass onto a transom, that room could be bathed in colors that could invigorate, calm, relax, or inspire.

They can offer the best amount of light with the most privacy, with their height, it is nearly impossible for someone walking by to see into the home, even with a clear glass.

Also having color in your transom window can allow the light to shine through the stained glass basking your entrance with colored light creating a feeling of warmth when a person comes in, causing a relaxing, comforting atmosphere, as soon as someone walks into that room. However, adding a texture instead of a color can add sparkle to the room, making it seem a little brighter. Using a mixer of both textures and colors, can create a wonderful array of sparkle and color that can invigorate how a person is feeling.
