Arched Entrance Door – Design From Antiquity – 3229AT

Grand Arched Architecture and Master Woodworking

This double door full arched grand entrance represents the pinnacle of luxury estate architectural design. Handcrafted as an original craft rather than a fast-process commercial reproduction, each custom entry door system is built from four-inch-thick solid American Cedar Cypress. ArtFactory utilizes only sustainable, renewable resource timber that is naturally air-dried instead of kiln force dried to protect the structural integrity of the wood. Master woodworkers construct the structural frames from solid, full-length timber completely free of fake laminates, scarf joints, veneers, glue-ups, or bolt-on parts. Utilizing traditional hand-hewn mortise and tenon joinery, these grand entrances deliver a true family heirloom and valuable future antiquity built the old-fashioned way.

Thermal Glass Surround and Extreme Weather Security

A defining attribute of this majestic double door entry system is the striking glass surround, which features one-inch-thick handcrafted thermal glass. This advanced glazing provides exceptional insulation, optimizing energy efficiency while flooding the grand foyer with natural light. Built on the structural philosophy that custom castle doors serve as the original security doors, this heavy-duty entryway is engineered to exceed twice the standard hurricane code requirements worldwide. This elite level of reinforcement ensures an impenetrable physical barrier against intruders and extreme weather alike, offering an architectural solution that is virtually maintenance-free.

Master Blacksmithing and Fine Art Finishes

All decorative accents, structural hinges, and multi-point locks are created from solid, hand-forged wrought iron by a genuine master blacksmith using ancestral anvil techniques. ArtFactory.com strictly rejects cheap factory castings and hollow faux metals, finishing all iron components with a heat-applied iron oxide custom hand patina that permanently fuses with the metal to prevent the chipping common with powder coatings. For the woodwork, all intricate detailing is hand-carved by master carvers without the use of CNC machines, gang carving, or faux casted resin. The final exterior surfaces are treated with a world-class, ten-process hand-rubbed finish rather than a fast, spray-on paint job.
