Architectural Urethane Polyurethane Arches

Posted on by

At Melton Classics, not only do we offer some of the best columns but also, there is a gorgeous selection of radius profiles and sizes offered. These arches are made in the USA and will last longer and perform better than wood mill work. They also are made from high density polyurethane, which is sort of similar to white pine. Our architectural arches are made into one solid piece.

A lot of problems are avoided by having no lamination or finger-joints like most wood arches would have. Arches made like this are very easy to install and are made not to rot, separate or splinter. Insects can not ruin these arches either, they are made to be impervious to termites.

To keep the cost very affordable we also double prime all of our polyurethane mill work. All of our work is made at a superior level. Melton Classics arches are the perfect companion for our pilasters to gracefully frame your windows and doorways. If you are looking for something a little more fancy, we also provide our arched radius mouldings. Some will come with decorative plinth blocks. This will add more elegance to your project. We can literally do almost anything for your arches to be perfect for your liking’s.

We can shape the keystones to cleanly fit on the arches or we can design for the arch to intersect with the keystone. There is such a big range of different arches you can select from. We even have an Architectural Urethane Arch Catalog that you can browse through to find the right arch for your design. Melton Classics would be your best choice when looking for someone to design an arch for you.
