Elliptical-Arch Top Style: Elliptical-Arch Top Description: Elliptical arches have two distinct radii; a gentle radius in the center with a tighter radius in the corners. This style of arch is often associated with bringing an elegant and lavish feel to a home.	Flat-Arch Top Style: Flat-Arch Top Description: An arch that begins at the top of the door and is considerably less rounded than a true-arch top. The top is curved in a radius equal to the width of the door; for example, a Flat-Arch Top door having a width of 3 feet would have a top rail outside radius of 36 inches. To calculate the distance from the springline to the apex, multiply the product's width by .134.
Gothic-Arch Top Style: Gothic-Arch Top Description: A narrow, pointed opening is the hallmark of a Gothic arch. The Gothic arch developed as a more sinuous and elegant successor to the Roman arch and was widely used in cathedrals of the Middle Ages such as Notre Dame in Paris.	Top-Rail Arch Style: Top-Rail Arch Description: A top rail with a squared top edge and an inside radius bottom edge. The radius of a top-rail arch varies depending upon the width of the door, but the distance between the high point of the radius and the top edge of the rail will always be the same as the width of the stile.
True-Arch Top Style: True-Arch Top Description: An arch that is truly rounded on top, with no angles. The top is curved in a radius equal to half the width of the door; for example, a true-arch top door having a width of 3 feet would have a top rail outside radius of 18 inches.
