Four woods, chosen for doors
We build arched doors in the four woods below. Each is solid all the way through, so an edge, a scratch or a sanding pass shows the same wood as the face.
White oak
Straight, even grain and naturally sealed pores in the heartwood, the reason it was used for barrels and boats. Takes stain evenly from natural to espresso.
36 x 96 in: $2,680
interior door, round top, natural finish
Sapele mahogany
The classic front door wood. Dense and stable, with a ribbon figure that glows under a clear or stained finish. Our first suggestion for an exterior arched door.
36 x 96 in: $2,770
interior door, round top, natural finish
Knotty alder
Warm, soft and full of knots. The wood most Spanish and rustic interior arched doors are made from, and one of the most popular woods for interior doors in America.
36 x 96 in: $2,290
interior door, round top, natural finish
Poplar
The paint grade wood of American interior doors. Fine, even grain with no open pores, so paint goes on smooth and the moldings stay crisp. Choose it when the door will be painted.
36 x 96 in: $2,150
interior door, round top, natural finish
Six ways to finish it
Finishes are applied in our shop and cured before the door ships. Exterior doors get an exterior rated system made for California sun.

Arched doors in every room
Round top and eyebrow, single and pair, front door and wine room: one door design, built in four woods and six finishes.
How to measure an arched opening
Measure the opening, not the old door. If you are replacing a door that fits well, its width and height work too.
- Measure the width
Measure the opening between the jambs at the bottom, the middle and the spring of the arch. Use the smallest number.
- Measure the height
Measure from the finished floor to the highest point of the arch, at the center.
- Measure the rise
Measure from the point where the arch starts to curve up to its top. If the rise is half the width, it is a round top. If it is less, it is an eyebrow arch.
- Measure the wall thickness
Measure the wall from face to face at the opening so the frame matches it, then send the numbers with a photo of the opening.
Rebuilding after the fire
Much of Pacific Palisades is being rebuilt after the January 2025 fire, and new front doors there have to meet the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code. Section 504.9 of the 2025 code accepts several constructions for exterior doors. One of them is a solid core wood door at least 1 3/4 in thick.
- Our exterior arched doors are solid wood, 2 1/4 in thick.
- Glass in exterior doors follows section 504.8: insulated units with at least one pane of tempered glass.
- We send your building department the specifications it asks for. The inspector has the final word on your permit.

Where can I buy a custom arched wood door online?
Element Decor, a family-owned woodwork shop in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, sells custom solid wood arched doors online at element-decor.com. Type the width and height of your opening, choose the wood and finish, and the price, delivery and lead time appear at once. We confirm the measurements and send a drawing, and you approve it before anything is paid or built. Doors ship across the continental United States.
How much does a custom arched door cost?
At Element Decor a custom solid wood arched door costs from $1,850 for an interior door, such as a 30 x 80 in knotty alder door, and from $3,200 for an exterior front door, such as a 32 x 84 in white oak door, finished and pre-hung in an arched frame. A 36 x 96 in round top interior door in white oak is $2,680, the same size exterior door in Sapele mahogany is $3,690, and a 72 x 96 in exterior pair in Sapele is $7,500. Delivery is priced separately.
Are your arched doors solid wood?
Yes. The stiles, rails, arched head and raised panels are solid wood: white oak, Sapele mahogany, knotty alder or poplar. There is no MDF, particleboard or foam core and no printed or vinyl surface. Interior doors are 1 3/4 in thick and exterior doors are 2 1/4 in thick.
What is the best wood for an exterior arched front door?
Sapele mahogany and white oak. Sapele is the traditional front door wood: dense, stable, with a ribbon figure that looks rich under a clear or stained finish. White oak heartwood has naturally sealed pores, which is why it is used for barrels and boats, and it takes stain evenly. Knotty alder and poplar are interior woods: alder for a rustic stained door, poplar for a painted one.
How long does a custom arched door take?
4 to 6 weeks in our Los Angeles shop after you approve the drawing, then 1 to 3 days after the door is finished in Greater Los Angeles, 3 to 5 business days elsewhere in California, or 5 to 10 business days, crated freight to the rest of the continental US.
How much is delivery, and do you ship outside California?
Delivery is $195 in Greater Los Angeles and $395 elsewhere in California. Doors ship pre-hung and crated by freight to the rest of the continental United States for $690 a single door or $890 a pair. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories are quoted.
Do you install the doors?
In Greater Los Angeles our own crew can install the door and its arched frame. Installation is quoted after we measure the opening. Outside Los Angeles any experienced finish carpenter can hang the door, because it arrives pre-hung in its frame with hinges fitted.
Will an exterior wood door meet the fire code in Pacific Palisades and other fire zones?
The 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, section 504.9, lists a solid core wood door at least 1 3/4 in thick as one of the accepted constructions for exterior doors. Our exterior doors are solid wood, 2 1/4 in thick. Glass in an exterior door has to meet section 504.8, so we glaze exterior doors with insulated units that include tempered glass. Your building department has the final word on your permit, and we send the specifications they ask for.
Can you replace an existing arched door or match an arched opening?
Yes. Send the width, the height to the top of the arch and the rise of the arch, with a photo. If the arch is not a true half circle or a simple segment, we make a template of the opening on site in Greater Los Angeles, or you can send us a full size paper tracing.
Can I order arched double doors or a door with glass?
Yes. Pairs are priced online for openings from 48 to 96 in wide. Glass in the arched top panel is an option on any door: tempered glass on interior doors and insulated units with tempered glass on exterior doors.
What comes with the door?
The door arrives finished and pre-hung in an arched solid wood frame with the hinges fitted and the edge bored for the lockset you choose. Exterior doors include weatherstripping and a sill. Locksets and handles are chosen by you and are not included in the online price.
Your opening. Your wood. A price in ten seconds.
Interior doors from $1,850, exterior front doors from $3,200, made in 4 to 6 weeks and delivered across the United States.
