| We are building a new home with 9'-1" ceiling height and I trying to come up with a good top of window elevation..I am thinking adding a 12" transom to 6'-8" door would put me at 7'-8" for the top of the windows, this would also allow plenty of room for 5" window trim and crown molding ...Our designer is suggesting 8'-0" for the tops of the windows...Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.. |

| I think with a 80" door and a 12-14 inch transome, you'll be right about at 8ft, depending on how they are mulled. You could go with an 82" height on the door, which is a better height and not uncommon with manufacturers. |

| correction: transom. :) |

| What is the total span of the door and what sized header will be required? That will be the ultimate determinant of the tallest combo you can run. |
