Composite door with arched top?

davethetaller

Hi One & All,

I am looking to buy and have fitted, a front door and frame, with an arched top. I know that one can be made in Upvc / plastic, but I would prefer to have it in a white composite finish.
Has anyone bought such a thing, or know if it is technically possible to manufacture ? I live in the north west if that helps.
Thanks in anticipation.

When you say white composite finish do you mean white grain?
White grain can be 5-20% dearer than white UPVC depending on the company you use, making the arch will be fine, won't be cheap. If there's no obstruction in getting the door in the arch can be made in one, otherwise the arch itself may have to be made separately to the door then screwed together on installation. Either way is fine

Many thanks DHFrames, I have never heard the phrase white grain before. I thought you bought either shiny white plastic or composite. I didn't realise that plastic could be bought with a grain, if that is what you mean. There is no obstruction in getting the door into the arch frame.
I would be interested to hear of a firm who manufactures 200 miles north of you in Lancashire.
Many thanks for your input .
