A Taller Entry Look with More Natural Light

This large iron French double door with square transom is designed for tall exterior entries that need more natural light, added height, and a stronger architectural presence. The double-door layout creates a wide entry opening, while the matching square transom helps brighten the upper part of the doorway.

The thin black steel frame and large glass panels give this design a cleaner, more open look than a heavily decorative iron door. It works well for front entries, rear entries, covered patios, and custom home openings where a standard-height French door may feel too small.

Each door is made to order with options for size, finish color, glass type, swing direction, handle style, transom height, and thermal break upgrades. Free curbside delivery is available across the continental United States.

Who This Door Is Best For:

Tall front entries that need a larger French door system

Homeowners who want more natural light and a wider entry opening

Custom homes where a standard-height double door feels too small

Modern and transitional homes that suit a clean steel-framed glass door

Projects that need an exterior iron French door with a square transom

 

FAQ:

Is this door suitable for a tall front entry?

Yes. This design is especially suitable for taller exterior entries because the square transom adds height and helps the full opening feel more balanced.

What is the benefit of the square transom?

The square transom brings more natural light into the upper part of the entry and adds architectural presence without making the main door panels feel too heavy.

Can the transom height be customized?

Yes. The transom height and overall unit size can be customized based on your rough opening and design requirements.

Can I choose a different glass finish?

Yes. Glass options may include clear, frosted, Aquatex, rainstorm, water cubic, and other privacy glass finishes.

Is thermal break available for this design?

Yes. A thermal break upgrade is available for colder climates or projects where improved insulation is important. Please review at TFD237
