The Comp Door Elmhurst, featuring a softer curved arch glazing panel that adds subtle personality to a classic doorway design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some doors are designed to blend in. The Elmhurst<\/a> is designed to be noticed \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like the idea of the Whitmore but want something with a touch more personality on the front of your home, the Elmhurst<\/a> is usually the next door homeowners look at \u2014 and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Makes the Elmhurst Different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The defining feature of the Elmhurst<\/a> 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 \u2014 particularly on properties with any curved or arched architectural details already in place, such as bay windows or an arched porch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 \u00a32,000 security guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glazing and Colour Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Elmhurst<\/a> is offered with 5 decorative glass options \u2014 Mayfair, Elegance, Prairie, Classic and Simplicity \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colour-wise, the Elmhurst<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seen a Similar Style Elsewhere? Here’s How the Elmhurst Compares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve been browsing composite doors before finding this page, the Elmhurst’s<\/a> closest equivalents are the Solidor Beeston and the Endurance Hope \u2014 both are known for pairing a large glazed area with an elegant frame, in the same spirit as the Elmhurst’s<\/a> arch design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Elmhurst<\/a> 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<\/a> is worth putting side by side with either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
