Arched doors begin with the opening
An arched doorway has a profile as well as a width and height. A shallow curve, a full round top, or a pointed arch changes the shape the door needs to follow. That matters when replacing a door in an older home, where a stock size may not match the existing opening.
We can adapt many solid wood door designs to round, segmental, Tudor, and Gothic arch profiles. Start with the shape you have, or the one you are planning for a new opening, then consider the panel layout and glass. For a Tudor-style home, explore our Tudor door collection for designs that relate to its architectural details.
Choose the collection for where the door will be used
Our arched exterior doors are built for the main entrance or another outdoor entry. Glazed designs use insulated tempered glass, and pre-hung options include weather sealing. Solid panels and different glass layouts let you decide how much daylight and privacy the entry needs.
Arched interior doors bring the curved profile into room openings and passages. Their panel designs, non-insulated glass options, and framing are intended for use inside the home. Coordinate them with nearby doors and trim, especially when several openings can be seen together.
Arched screen and storm doors sit in front of an entry door or serve a porch opening. Screen allows airflow; storm glass adds weather protection. Their frame layout can be coordinated with the main door so the two curved profiles and the details below them work together.
Coordinate the curve with the rest of the design
The arch is one part of the door’s proportions. Look at the height of the lower panels, the width of the wood framing, and how any glass divisions sit beneath the curve. Single and paired configurations offer different ways to use a shaped opening.
African Mahogany is our standard wood, with a natural appearance suited to a stained finish. Interior doors offer the full selection of 17 woods; exterior and screen-and-storm choices should account for weather exposure. Slab and pre-hung options vary by application, so consider the existing frame as you choose your door.
Turn your measurements into a custom door
Choose a collection above, then select a design to customize online. For an existing arch, accurate measurements or a template establish the shape in addition to the overall dimensions. Our craftspeople can help you determine which details to provide and how the chosen design will work within that profile.
Before any door order is built, you receive drawings to review and approve. That gives you an opportunity to see the curve, panel arrangement, and dimensions together.
