At Universal Arches in St Helens, we have been bending uPVC profile to make arched, circular, curved, gothic, angled and triangular windows for over 20 years.

Supplying a template to us is straightforward and we can help guide you through the process.
How do I measure for replacement Arched Windows or Doors?
To measure for replacement Arched Windows or Doors, we recommend that you initially draw around the actual shape of the existing frame onto cardboard, paper or directly onto a sheet of MDF.
We would then suggest that you create a master arched template on MDF and keep this yourself until your curved window or arched door frame has been supplied and installed. To speak to a member of our Customer Services Team please call 01744 612844.
Benefits of an Arched window template on paper
Once you have your MDF template, simply lay this on a sheet of paper and draw around it. Then, write your name and contact number and any reference on the outside face and post the sheet of paper to Universal Arches.
Posting the paper template to is the fastest and most reliable way, it is also our preferred way of receiving a template.

Downsides of an MDF or Cardboard Template
If you send your original MDF template to us, there is a small chance it could get damaged in transit and your arched window could be made to an incorrect shape. A cardboard template can get wet in the rain, or there is a chance it can rip. However, if these are the only way you have of supplying a template, we are always happy to receive them and will always contact you should we have any queries.
