What Are Arched Windows Called?
Also referred to as radius windows, this window style is both elegant and striking in appearance, adding a unique design element to historical, traditional and modern homes alike. Arched windows can add architectural interest above a window or door, or function as stand-alone windows.
Arched Windows with Openings
Arched windows are flexible in design and style, and can be made from either aluminium or uPVC. While traditionally they don’t have any openings, it’s actually possible to create arched windows that do open. This style would be ideal for residential homes or even office spaces that require the use of an open window for health and safety reasons.
Blending practicality with style, arched windows with openings typically have a solid pane of glass at the top where the curved portion of the window is, and an opening in the lower rectangle section of the window. If you currently have an older arched window comprised of single-glazing, replacing it with this style would help reduce energy bills.
Similar to our other windows, arched windows with openings come in a range of frame materials and colours. If your home has a particular colour scheme, or even if you want the windows to fit your company branding we can create a custom solution to suit.

Arched Windows Add Architectural Interest
Windows come in all shapes and sizes. Yet most builders and homeowners largely rely on the standard rectangle. When an arch top window is used, it stands out and gives your home a distinct look.
The round tops contrast with the hard edges of rectangular windows, creating a softer aesthetic. This effect translates on both the inside and outside your home.
Since arched windows call back to the Mediterranean style of Ancient Rome, they’re often used in other Old World, traditional architectural designs. But an arch top window can be used to effect in any style of home, creating a focal point and adding classic character. They work great when complemented with other curved shapes, like a circle window, or when used underneath gables and tall, arched pillars at the front entrance.
How Much Do Arched Windows Cost?
The material and installation cost to replace an arched window ranges from $275 – $875. The average price of an arch window is $200 to $800, and the average installation cost is $75.
The window’s type, size, and brand will influence the cost. For example, you can purchase a small half-moon window for as little as $115. But a tall single arched window can cost $800, depending on the features.

How Do You Make Arched Windows Look Modern?
Arched windows grace the fronts of many types of homes, including modern. If you have arched windows or are looking to install them, there are two ways to ensure they look up-to-date: use a black frame and add simple grids.
Windows with black frames will give any house an updated look and pull your arched window into this century. Simple grids make a great addition to large arched windows that would otherwise look too bare. Avoid grids with intricate designs, like the diamond or fan style.
But, before you put a black-framed window on order, think about the rest of your house. If all of your other windows have white or wood frames, ensure your arched window matches.
Advantages of Arched Windows
Creative Design
These windows have recently become more popular because they add aesthetic appeal to the home, but ultimately have a high cost of ownership. An arched window is a unique design which is commonly combined on top of other common windows such as double hung, casement or picture windows.
Energy Efficiency
Our arched windows are energy efficient. All our windows come standard with high quality vinyl framing material and glass packages. The glass may come with low-e coatings which reflect heat and reduce energy consumption.
Versatility
As a window replacement expert, Window Concepts can offer windows that come in many unique shapes and designs. Arched windows are no different, they come in several styles and work most effectively when paired with other accent windows suck as picture windows or casement windows.

Where Are Arched Windows Usually Found?
Arched windows came "on-trend" during the reign of the Roman Empire. It is still seen in a lot of Roman architecture. However, the arch also migrated into other architectural styles, including Mexican architecture and Victorian homes.
Arched windows also featured in design during the Baroque, Rococo, and Art Nouveau eras.
Nowadays arches are found in a wide variety of architectural styles and homes. They are particularly suited to Spanish Colonial-style homes, Gothic homes, Romanesque design, and French eclectic. At the same time, a lot of people are choosing to incorporate arched windows into modern, more minimal homes.
One of the reasons for this is that arched windows help to soften angular architecture, which modern design is dominated by.
