The picture below shows a combination unit where sidelites flank each side of a set of double doors. A single transom sits above each sidelite. A full width transom fits above the width of the full double door unit.

In this scenario we can build every aspect of the unit except the double doors. Customers can choose a double door unit on their own, coordinate the specifications with us, and we will fabricate the remaining units.

In this example, the combination unit features a single door flanked on each side with sidelite. Above the door and each sidelite is a transom. We can build all parts of this combination unit except for the door.

Below is a slight variant where a single transom is placed above both the single door and both sidelites.

In this last single door example, only sidelites flank the door with no transoms above.

Ganged transoms involve abutting one or more transoms together. This can be accomplished by abutting two sashes in one jamb or placing multiple jammed transoms against one another.

Window walls are usually built as individual framed openings for multiple transoms in an arrangement.
