Faux Arched Window Features

Our faux arched windows deliver ​classic elegance with modern practicality, offering the illusion of traditional arched architecture through innovative flat-top designs. Crafted with ​engineered hardwood-alternative frames (12-layer vinyl extrusion), these units replicate authentic arched aesthetics while providing:

​Cost-effective installation – No structural modifications required vs true arched windows
​Energy-smart performance – Argon-filled Low-E glass achieves 0.28 U-factor (35% better than standard double-pane)
​Hybrid ventilation – Operable lower transom opens 45° for airflow while maintaining arched silhouette
Technical highlights:

​Radius precision – CNC-bent frames create seamless 180° springline curves (±1mm tolerance)
​Grid customization – Simulated divided lites (SDL) with 9/12 colonial grid patterns
​All-weather durability – Fiberglass-reinforced sashes withstand 150mph winds (ASTM E330 certified)
