Thermal Break Iron French Double Door with Arched Transom | TFD042

An Insulated French Double Door with an Arched Upper Transom

This thermal break iron French double door with arched transom is designed for exterior entries that need natural light, added height, and better insulation than a standard non-thermal-break iron door. The square-top double doors create a clean main entry opening, while the arched transom adds upper light and a softer architectural shape above the door.

This layout works well for taller front openings where a door-only design may look too short. The arched transom helps fill the upper space, brings more daylight into the entry, and adds a curved detail without changing the daily function of the double doors below. The thermal break frame helps reduce heat transfer through the metal structure, making this design better suited for colder regions, hot climates, or homes with large seasonal temperature changes.

TFD042 is custom made and can be adjusted to fit the project. Although this product is shown as a square-top double door with an arched transom, the same style can be customized as a double door only, a single door with transom, or a larger entry system with matching sidelights. Size, glass finish, color, swing direction, handle style, jamb depth, transom height, arch shape, glass layout, door top design, and thermal break specifications can also be customized.

Who This Door Is Best For:
This door is best for homeowners who want a thermal break French double door with extra upper light and a softer arched detail above the main door.

It works well for taller exterior openings, covered porch entries, custom homes, and front entries where a square-top door alone may feel too plain or too short.

TFD042 is also a good option for customers comparing thermal break French doors, double front doors with arched transom, insulated steel French doors, and custom iron front doors for cold-weather or high-temperature-change areas.

FAQ:

What does square door with arched transom mean?
It means the main double doors have a square-top shape, while the glass transom above the doors has an arched top. This creates a clean door opening with a softer curved detail above.

What does thermal break mean?
Thermal break means the metal frame includes a low-conductive barrier between the exterior and interior sides. This helps reduce heat transfer through the frame compared with a standard non-thermal-break iron door.

Can this design be made without the transom?
Yes. Since this product is custom made, the arched transom can be removed if the opening does not need extra height.

Can I choose a different glass finish?
Yes. Clear glass gives the brightest look, while frosted, Aquatex, rainstorm, water cubic, Low-E, or other available glass options can be selected depending on privacy and performance needs.
