Get a QuoteWhen choosing windows for architectural projects, it’s crucial to distinguish between arched and curved windows, as each offers unique design benefits. Arched windows feature a curvature in elevation, visible from a front view, often forming semicircular or elliptical shapes at the top. These windows add classical elegance and are ideal for traditional or historic-style buildings.
In contrast, curved windows show their curvature on plan, meaning the curve is seen from a top-down view. These windows create panoramic vistas and contemporary aesthetic appeal, seamlessly integrating with modern architectural designs.
