CURVED LINES, STRONG IMPRESSION
ARCHED FRONT DOORS – FOR AN ENTRANCE WITH CHARACTER
STEP OUTSIDE THE ORDINARY WITH A MODERN ARCHED FRONT DOOR
Some entrance doors simply leave a different impression. Not because of their size or striking design, but because of a beauty that refuses to be confined by straight lines.
Their graceful arch lends these front doors an elegant, timeless character.They introduce a softer touch to the architecture, creating an almost romantic sense of warmth and refinement.
WHEN SHOULD I CHOOSE AN ARCHED FRONT DOOR?
Arches are nothing new in architecture. For centuries, they have adorned buildings, distributing weight efficiently to the sides in stone and brick structures and making it possible to create larger, taller openings without placing excessive stress on the material.
Today, with modern construction techniques offering virtually unlimited structural possibilities, arches serve primarily an aesthetic purpose, which is why they are increasingly finding their place in contemporary architecture.
Arched front doors are therefore the perfect choice for:
- houses with an existing arch,
- rustic and traditional homes,
- Mediterranean-style buildings,
- renovating older houses or villas,
- modern homes where you want to create a contrast to the straight lines.
Beyond their distinctive appearance, these doors also offer all the advantages of modern design, from outstanding thermal insulation and enhanced security to fully bespoke craftsmanship.
ADVANTAGES OF ARCHED ENTRANCE DOORS
Every Inotherm entrance door, including our arched doors, are made to measure. The result is an entrance that blends seamlessly into the architecture of the home, without sacrificing premium craftsmanship.
ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
The arched shape lends the entrance a distinctive architectural character that is difficult to achieve with traditional straight lines.
MORE NATURAL LIGHT
A semicircular transom light brings more daylight into the home, creating a more pleasant living space.
TIMELESS ELEGANCE
Regardless of trends, arches remain an aesthetic choice, adding a sense of sophistication and warmth to your entrance.
FEELING OF SPACIOUSNESS
The soft lines visually enlarge the entrance and create a more open and spacious impression.
FULL OR LOWERED ARCH?
With Inotherm arched front doors you can choose between a classic full arch, where the arch is more pronounced, or a lowered arch, which has a more understated look.
Due to the specific nature of their manufacture, arched front doors are available in the Exclusive range. The maximum dimensions are 1200 × 2550 mm, and the door can only open inwards.
FULL ARCH
With a full arch the radius height is always exactly half the width of the element.
LOWERED ARCH
With a lowered arch you determine the height yourself, depending on the appearance you are aiming for.
ARCHED TRANSOM LIGHT
You don't have to give up the classic straight lines for a distinctive entrance. You can create an arched look with a transom light, which is one of the most recognisable elements of arched entrances.
This design is the perfect choice for those who want a softer entrance but want to keep the original look of the door leaf with its straight lines.
There are many combinations to choose from:
- minimalist front doors with straight lines and an arched transom light;
- front doors with an arched transom light and sidelights;
- more glazed or almost fully glass door models with an arched transom light;
- front doors with clean lines and large glass panels, an arched transom light and sidelights.
As the arched transom light and sidelights are structurally integrated with the door to form a single unit, certain design adjustments may be required for larger entrance dimensions. We therefore design each solution individually, taking into account the dimensions of the opening and the chosen entrance design.
ACCESSORIES
The real impression lies in the details. Inotherm arched entrance doors can be complemented with accessories that add a personal touch and create a harmonious, unified entrance.
DECORATIVE DETAILS
Grooves, decorative mouldings and accents are an almost indispensable feature of an arched door, as they accentuate its retro look.
HANDLES
Arched doors allow for a lot of creativity when choosing your exterior handles, from curved shapes to elongated styles for a more modern look.
LEVER HANDLES
Classic lever handles in gold, copper or metal are perfect for arched doors.
GLASS INSERTS
Glass inserts provide an elegant decorative feature. Ornamental, motif or stained glass, together with metal framing, add more texture and introduce an interplay of light to the entrance.
HOUSE NUMBERS
Arched doors are nicely complemented by metallic-tone house numbers on the door leaf, sidelights or a glass insert.
DOOR KNOCKERS
Door knockers are one of the most characteristic additions to traditional entrances. They add a classy touch to arched doors and create a look that is architecturally rich.
TRADITIONAL DESIGN, MODERN SECURITY
Modern arched front doors provide the same level of protection as all our aluminium doors. They are equipped with advanced security systems to ensure a worry-free home.
- Five-point lock: locks the door in several places at once.
- Heavy-duty safety hinges: prevent the door from being lifted off or forced from its frame.
- Security escutcheon and cylinder: protect against drilling and unauthorised copying of keys.
- Safety glass: toughened and laminated, high impact resistant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What is an arched front door?
An arched entrance door is a door with a curved or rounded top. The arch can be pronounced or subtle, so such doors can work well with both traditional and modern architecture.
How is the arch handled when renovating an existing building?
If the entrance opening already forms an arch, we can make a door to fit the existing entrance. This way, you can preserve the original style of the building when renovating.
The semicircular design can be adapted to different dimensions, arch types, combinations of glass, transom lights and sidelights.
Can you make a custom door?
Of course! All Inotherm entrance doors are custom-made according to the dimensions, design and technical requirements of the building.
Are arched doors only suitable for older houses?
The arched entrance door works beautifully with both traditional and modern architecture. Thanks to their timeless form and heritage-inspired character, they are particularly well suited to older homes, villas and Mediterranean-style properties.
