Introduction
Some doors are designed to blend in. The Elmhurst is designed to be noticed — just quietly. It takes the same underlying proportions as Comp Door’s best-selling Whitmore style and softens them with a curved arch glazing panel, giving the whole door a more elegant, considered feel without tipping into anything showy.
If you like the idea of the Whitmore but want something with a touch more personality on the front of your home, the Elmhurst is usually the next door homeowners look at — and for good reason.
What Makes the Elmhurst Different
The defining feature of the Elmhurst is its curved arch glazing, which softens the visual line of the door compared to the squarer panels found elsewhere in the range. It’s a small design change that makes a noticeable difference on the kerb — particularly on properties with any curved or arched architectural details already in place, such as bay windows or an arched porch.
Behind that arch sits the same core Comp Door engineering as every style in the range: a 48mm solid timber core, CoolSkin technology to prevent warping and bowing, and an auto-fire multi-point lock with an anti-snap ABS cylinder as standard, backed by a £2,000 security guarantee.
Glazing and Colour Options
The Elmhurst is offered with 5 decorative glass options — Mayfair, Elegance, Prairie, Classic and Simplicity — a more curated selection than some of the wider-ranging styles in the collection. That’s a deliberate design choice: each of these five glass patterns has been chosen specifically to work with the arch shape, rather than offering options that wouldn’t suit the curve.
Colour-wise, the Elmhurst comes in {colourNote}. It’s a slightly narrower palette than the full 16-colour Comp Door range, so if you have a very specific exterior colour in mind, it’s worth checking availability before you fall in love with a particular glazing and colour combination.
Seen a Similar Style Elsewhere? Here’s How the Elmhurst Compares
If you’ve been browsing composite doors before finding this page, the Elmhurst’s closest equivalents are the Solidor Beeston and the Endurance Hope — both are known for pairing a large glazed area with an elegant frame, in the same spirit as the Elmhurst’s arch design.
The Elmhurst matches that same design intent while sitting on Comp Door’s 48mm timber core and CoolSkin construction. If you liked the look of a Beeston or a Hope but want to compare it against another option before committing, the Elmhurst is worth putting side by side with either.
Arched, Stable and French Door Options
The Elmhurst offers complete versatility for your home, coming fully available as an Arched Door for shaped openings, a traditional Stable Door for dual-opening ventilation, and a double French Door configuration. This allows you to bring the Elmhurst’s elegant curved panel design to whichever structural frame your entrance requires.
