Questions homeowners ask
Answers before you commit.
Is a transom a separate type of door?
No. A transom is the glass section above a main door. It can be composed with either a single or double door.
Should I choose single or double doors?
The opening, façade proportions and everyday use all matter. A front-facing photo and rough measurements help us discuss the right direction.
Can the design follow an arched opening?
Iron entries can be designed around shaped openings. The existing conditions need to be reviewed before a design is confirmed.
What should I send for an initial conversation?
Send a clear photo of the full entry, rough width and height when available, your ZIP code and one or two reference images you like.
