Round top (or arched top) storm doors add timeless elegance and architectural charm to any home, especially those with traditional, historic, or custom entryways. At BeeJay Security Doors in Buffalo, NY, we specialize in custom round top security and storm doors that perfectly match the shape of your existing entry door while delivering superior protection, energy efficiency, and style.Whether you’re restoring a historic home or upgrading a modern one, round top storm doors make a bold statement. Let’s explore the popular styles, key features, and benefits to help you choose the perfect option.

Why Choose a Round Top Storm Door?

Round top storm doors complement arched or curved openings that standard rectangular doors can’t match. They:

  • Protect your main entry door from weather, UV rays, and debris.
  • Improve energy efficiency with better insulation and optional Low-E glass.
  • Boost security with sturdy frames and multi-point locking options.
  • Enhance ventilation with interchangeable screens.
  • Increase curb appeal and potentially property value.

BeeJay crafts these doors to fit your exact measurements, including the critical “spring line” and radius for a seamless match.

Popular Styles of Round Top Storm Doors

1. Full Arch / Round Top (Semi-Circle)
The most common and classic style. It features a true half-circle arch that creates a graceful, symmetrical look. Ideal for traditional and Colonial homes.

  • Best for: Maximum light and visibility.
  • View Options: Full-view (glass from top to bottom) for an open, airy feel.

2. Cathedral or Eyebrow Arch
A softer, shallower curve (eyebrow) or taller, pointed cathedral shape. These add subtle drama without overwhelming the facade.

  • Great for homes with unique or varied arch heights.
  • Often requires a template for precise custom fabrication.

3. Camber Top or Tudor Arch
A gently curved top with a flatter profile or steeper Tudor-style points. These suit Craftsman, Victorian, or contemporary homes seeking distinctive character.

4. Double Arch or Paired Configurations
Perfect for wider entryways or double doors. Symmetrical arches create a grand entrance.

View Configurations: Full-View, Mid-View, and High-View

Round top doors come in several practical configurations:

  • Full-View: Glass or screen spans nearly the entire door height. Maximizes natural light and showcases your main entry door. Excellent with retractable or interchangeable screens.
  • Mid-View (or Half-View): Solid panel at the bottom (often with a kickplate for durability) and glass/screen on top. Provides privacy and protection for high-traffic areas.
  • High-View: Smaller glass area at the top with a larger solid bottom. Offers more security and a traditional look.

Many models include options like:

  • Retractable “Screen Away” systems.
  • Interchangeable glass and screen inserts for seasonal use.
  • Powder-coated finishes in various colors for lasting beauty and low maintenance.
