Use Doors With a Double Arch to Make a Truly Grand Entrance

Arched doors have always been in style. But the modern revival they're experiencing today is on an entirely new level. And what does a double arch mean? It means double the charm! Our Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors will wow anyone looking for timeless elegance with a trendy design.

The History of the Arch

The use of the arch in construction is nothing new. In fact, it's ancient – this shape is integral in the construction of bridges and aqueducts throughout the Roman Empire.

The first uses of the arch were purely practical – this shape could distribute weight evenly, providing structural stability. It took a few years, but it eventually became standardized in construction for its eye-catching appearance as well. One look at its gentle curves, and it becomes clear why.

The Gothic period marked the first uses of the arch in buildings and, in turn, doors. Given the sheer grandeur of the arched doors, it shouldn't be surprising that this became one of the favorite styles at the time.

Another thing that shouldn't be surprising is how well the arched doors have fared throughout the years. What's more, the popularity of these doors is skyrocketing at the moment. Why? Well, architecture and interior design have become all about bringing the outside in. And what fits right into this trend? That's right, the arch's organic shape.

Why Choose the Air 4 Doors

Why are the Air 4 doors the perfect choice for your home? One look at their incredible characteristics and it becomes immediately apparent.

Effortless Elegance of the Minimalist Design

A steel arched frame and two horizontal bars – that's all there really is to the design of the Air 4 doors. Yet this sleek design oozes elegance, creating a captivating fusion between the simplicity of contemporary homes and the timeless allure of classic aesthetics. Throw the touch of old-world charm into the mix, and this simple design becomes an extraordinary style element.

Design Flexibility at Its Finest

The appeal of having showstopping doors indoors and outdoors is quite evident – they make a lasting impression on anyone who goes through them. But what about the surrounding architectural elements and décor?

Having a door that's too "loud" severely limits your choices in terms of design. Having a minimalist door, on the other hand, opens up a world of possibilities.

The Air 4 doors can suit almost any design choice, whether you're going for the coastal vibes of Mediterranean homes or the historical charm of the Colonial style. When used indoors, the soft curves from the door's arches can complement several décor elements, from fixtures to furniture.

Durable Construction for Many Years to Come

PINKYS and durability go hand in hand. Whether you choose the iron doors or their steel counterparts from the Air collection, you can expect unmatched sturdiness that will stand the test of time.

The Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors are constructed using high-quality 12-industry steel. Since they're two inches thick, these doors provide exceptional strength and security. These characteristics also ring true for every element of these doors, from the steel threshold to the bullet hinges.

Even the glass elements can hold their own in this steel extravaganza. The Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors come with 5/8-inch tempered dual-pane glass characterized by exceptional strength and insulating properties.

To take these insulation properties to the next level, PINKYS includes polyurethane dual foam weather stripping inside each frame. This translates to significantly less hot and cold temperature transfer. And with an included door sweep, you don't have to worry about things like sound infiltration and insects either.

Wood Pales in Comparison

Many homeowners consider wood the gold standard of construction. That's why they can only picture their home with an elegant mahogany double door and beautiful wooden windows.

Well, wooden entry doors can certainly be a statement piece for any property. But that's pretty much where their appeal ends. Over time, these doors will require regular, time-consuming, and costly maintenance to keep their appealing aesthetic. And even then, they can easily warp, scratch, crack, and rot, all verbs you don't want to be associated with your doors.

That’s why many others who have experience with this material know there is an attractive and durable alternative, from fellow homeowners to professional contractors.

Steel doors, like the Air 4, require minimal maintenance to retain their appearance and structural integrity. And that's just one of the areas where they outperform their wooden counterparts. Throw steel's durability, energy efficiency, fire resistance, and level of security into the mix, and the winner of the steel vs. wood battle becomes even more apparent.

Customization Options Galore

The Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors can be fully customized to fit your exact needs and aesthetic.

Start with the size. You can choose the most compact option (61 x 84 inches) for a beautiful indoor application or go big (or should we say massive) with doors spanning 74 inches in width and 126 inches in height. Talk about a grand entrance for the exterior doors.

Next, add the glass inserts, and select one of nine options based on the aesthetic results you want to achieve and the characteristics you wish to add to your double doors. Low-E glass, for instance, helps insulate your home significantly better. In contrast, Rain glass brings visual interest to steel and iron doors.

Finish up with color, where a stunning selection of five options awaits, from black for those who want to play it safe and keep things elegant to oil-rubbed bronze or brushed silver for those looking for a bolder statement. Each door is hand-painted, so you can rest assured knowing your finish is genuinely one of a kind.

The Benefits of Using Arched Double Doors

As you can see, the Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors are a must for any style-conscious home- and business owner. But what about arched double doors in general? Why should you use these doors over standard double doors (or their single counterparts)?

Making the House Appear More Spacious

Sure, the square footage directly dictates how spacious a house is. But what about how spacious a house feels? You can directly influence this perception by making clever design choices and strategically organizing the ground plan. And what's a major part of this plan? Windows and doors.

Selecting your windows and entry doors carefully can significantly impact the perceived size of individual rooms. Select an arched double door, and its elliptical top will draw attention to your walls' height. The result? Any room will automatically appear more spacious.

Softening Angular Rooms

Perfectly straight edges evoke a sense of balance and stability. But they can also be seen as monotonous, rigid, and cold. Combine one too many straight edges, and the room will look thoroughly uninviting. The solution? Angular entry doors.

With these doors, you'll introduce an unexpected curve in the traditionally rectangular framework, inviting softness to the room. Since these gentle and beautiful curves are easier on the eye, they create a more welcoming and dynamic atmosphere.

Enhancing Arches Built Into Your House

Today, arches are virtually everywhere. So, chances are seeing doors with a double arch won’t be your first contact with this architectural form. But you can still make the new arches you bring into your home complement the existing ones. How?

Just add an arched double door close by or below (wherever it makes sense) the existing arches in your house. Such a simple addition is all you need to take your interior design to the next level.

Improving Your Property's Visual Appeal

There's no doubt about it – the standard square-top doors aren't going anywhere. But it's also clear that the arched style is a clear winner for owners looking to add some pizazz to their property (boosting their home's curb appeal in the process).

The Many Uses of the Air 4 Arched Double Door

It's perfectly understandable to associate double doors with front-facing entry doors. After all, they can get massive in size. But while these doors do make for a fabulous entryway, they can also excel at a variety of setups.

Front-Facing Entry Doors

Have the Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors installed at the front of your house and leave a long-lasting impression on any visitor. These doors are unusual enough to draw attention yet not too over the top to overpower the entire architecture.

Patio Doors

The Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors check all the boxes for the perfect patio doors – they provide a visual insight into the outdoors while allowing plenty of natural light to flood the space. Their soft curves also add a touch of playfulness, transforming your patio into a whimsical retreat.

Steel Room Dividers

Are you looking to divide an open-plan space yet keep a sense of uninterrupted flow? Enter the Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors. These doors will give you the privacy of having multiple rooms without making them feel stuffy and enclosed. In other words, you get the best of both worlds – the seamless flow of an open plan with the versatility of divided spaces.

Extensions

Due to architectural constraints, house extensions often look rather boxy. The solution? Install the Air 4 instead of regular doors with a rectangular top. In addition to softening the harsh, angular lines, this will infuse some character into the new space.

French Doors

One look at this Air 4 model, and it becomes clear why people sometimes mistake it for a French door. But this similarity is nothing but good. Thanks to it, the Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors can serve as an excellent replacement for the beloved French doors.

And there are virtually no limits to where French doors can be used, in and outside your home. Use them as balcony doors to connect the dining room to the kitchen or visually open up a smaller room inside your home.

How to Make Arched Double Doors Stand Out More

Arched double doors are undoubtedly distinctive on their own. However, home- and business owners who find this design too plain can do the following to make it more decorative.

Choose a Distinct Glass Style

The glass inserts give the Air 4 doors many of its aesthetic and practical advantages. Make a special order with PINKYS and swap the front exterior and back interior inserts for design glass.

Even if you only choose one of the unique glass types PINKYS offers with standard orders, you'll add visual interest to your doors. Select the Rain glass, and your doors will have a chic look (while inducing the calming effect of watching rain droplets running down a window). Or go for the Watercube variety, and transform your doors into a captivating work of art.

Use Decorative Hardware

PINKYS ships the majority of the necessary hardware with your Air 4 Double Full Arch Doors purchase. But while locks are one of the few items that aren't included in the package, you can use this to your advantage. Go for more decorative locks and make your doors stand out. Even something as simple as choosing vividly colored hardware can add visual interest to your doorway.

Use Color to Make the Arches Pop

Do you enjoy playing with interior design? If so, we've got good news. You can make your Air 4 doors pop with a few paintbrush strokes. Design intricate patterns surrounding the doors' arches, and no one will be able to look away. Try using contrasting colors to create a stunning visual impact.

HOW OUR PRODUCTS ARE MEASURED

Our sizes are measured from outside of jamb to the outside of the jamb. For example, a 72” x 96” door listed on our website means that 72” is the width from outside to outside of jamb (not the actual width size of the door) and 96” is the height from outside of jamb to bottom of our built in steel threshold (not the actual height of the door).

We recommend the rough opening of the WIDTH to be 1/2” to 1” wider than the door size ordered to give the installer enough room to comfortably position the jamb into place and have enough room to make sure the jamb is leveled.

We recommend the rough opening of the HEIGHT to be 1/2” to 1” wider than the door size ordered to give the installer enough room to comfortably position the jamb into place and have enough room to make sure the jamb is leveled.

Everything You Need to Know About Door Swing Direction

Most people don’t think about which direction their door swings. Opening a door is second nature, with the swing only coming into play if you push or pull and the door doesn’t open.

But the swing is important if you need to buy a new door, lever, or hinge. If you don’t know your door’s swinging direction, you could end up making a wrong purchase.

Here, PINKYS explains the different types of door swing and how you can determine whether your door is right-handed or left-handed.

The Types of Door Swing

Before we get into how to determine a door's swing, we need to know the types of swing.

Standard Doors

There are usually four ways a standard door can swing:

• Left-hand inswing (LHI)
• Left-hand outswing (LHO)
• Right-hand inswing(RHI)
• Right-hand outswing (RHO)

There's also the possibility that your door has a 180-degree swing. That's common with internal doors, giving you the ability to push or pull the door to open it from either direction.

Pivot Doors

Pivot doors differ from standard doors in one crucial aspect:

They have hinges on the top and bottom instead of on one of the sides.

They still open and close similarly to standard doors. You just have a little extra work to do when determining the hinge location.

A pivot door's swing direction can be one of two options:

• Swing inside
• Swing outside

These doors can also swing at a 180-degree angle. But with pivot doors, that means the door can stand parallel to a wall when fully opened rather than swinging 90 degrees in either direction.

How to Determine Door Swing Direction

Now that you know the differences between the different types of doors, it's time to determine the swing.

Why do you need to know this?

If you have an inswing door, trying to install an outswing door in its frame won't get you very far. You'll have to change the hinges, making the installation more complicated.

Let's run through some steps to help you along.

Step 1 - Understand the Terminology

There are four key bits of jargon to understand when determining door swing:

Inswing Doors

You have an inswing door if you have to push the door to open it from the outside.

Outswing Doors

Outswing doors require you to pull them from the outside to open them.

Left-Hand Door

If the door's hinges are on the left side, you have a left-handed door.

Right-Hand Door

Check the door's right side. If you see hinges, you have a right-hand door.

Step 2 - Stand on the Outside of the Door When It's Closed

Start by standing on the outside of the door.

For an exterior door, this is the side facing the street. You go from the outside into the building.

For interior doors, think about which room you'd consider yourself to be entering. For example, you may enter the kitchen from the living room. Or, you may enter a bedroom from the hallway.

Step 3 - Check Whether It's an Inswing or Outswing Door

Open the door from the outside. If you had to pull the door open, you have an outswing door. If you push the door past its opening to get in the room, you have an outswing door.

Step 4 - Check the Hinges

There's another way to see if a door is inswing or outswing.

Look along the door frame for the hinges. If you can see them standing from the outside, you have an outswing door.

If you can't see them, the door opens inwards, meaning you have an inswing door. Note that some doors can have hidden hinges.

Step 5 - Check What Side of the Door the Hinges Are On

Checking the hinges is the easiest step.

You have a right-handed door if the hinges are on the right-hand side. If they're on the left, the door is left-handed. Door knobs don’t factor into this test, though you’ll usually find them on the opposite side of the hinges.

Step 6 - Conduct a Handedness Test

Now, you get into the weeds of the terminology. You're going to figure out how the swing and handedness combine to tell you what kind of door you have.

Start by standing outside and close the door. For example, those testing a bedroom door will stand in the hallway facing the door.

Turn your back to the hinges and grab the knob with whichever hand doesn't have to reach across your body to grab it.

Then, open the door.

When you're using your right hand and don't have to move out of the way to open the door, you have a right-handed inswing door.

What if you had to step back while opening the door with your right hand? That means you have a right-handed outswing door.

If you used your left hand and had to step back, you have a left-handed outswing door.

If you didn't have to move while using your left hand, you've got a left-handed inswing door.

Always double check because the simplest mistake in door handing can lead to you buying the wrong door.

Find the Correct Door

You need to know your door's swing direction if you're buying a new door. You'll also need to know it when buying door levers. Your door's swing tells you which door handing you need, which is the direction a traditional door lever has to point when installed.
