arched glazing bars are glazing bars placed in an arched shape in a door or wall. The basic shape consists of vertical and horizontal glazing bars that transition into an arch at the top, distributing the glass area more playfully and giving the door more character. This provides a classic and elegant appearance.

The arched astragals are placed on the door wherever you like. The astragals are glued to the glass, so the glass in the door remains a single pane of glass. This is also the case if you choose straight rails or stiles. We always work with a full glass pane in the door.
