Custom Transom Numbers and Lettering in Gold Leaf and Paint

Transom windows offer a unique opportunity for elegant, functional signage — and at Royce Signworks, we specialize in making the most of that space. Whether it’s a set of hand-gilded numbers in 23-karat gold or a painted or vinyl alternative, our transom lettering adds historic charm and practical visibility to homes, shops, and professional buildings.

This gallery features a collection of completed transom projects throughout Saddle Brook, Bergen County, Staten Island, Westchester, and beyond. Each one reflects a custom approach, built around the client’s address, architecture, and style preferences.

What Is a Transom Sign?

A transom is the horizontal window space above a door, often seen in brownstones, historic storefronts, and older residential properties. We use this space to display:

  • Street numbers
  • House or building names
  • Business suite numbers
  • Decorative motifs or scrolls
  • Monograms or initials

 

Our transom signs are either applied directly to the glass or created as inset panels, depending on the building and desired finish.

Transom Styles and Layouts

You’ll see three primary transom lettering styles across this collection, such as, Gold Leaf Gliding, Painted Lettering, and Vinyl Lettering.

Each method is chosen based on location, visibility, and architectural style.
