A Design Feature from Greco Roman Windows and Doors Featuring Milgard
When it comes to adding architectural character to your home, few features make a statement like radius windows. At Greco Roman Windows and Doors, we help homeowners incorporate beautifully crafted radius windows — including premium options from Milgard — to elevate both style and natural light.
Defining Radius Windows
A radius window is any window with a curved or arched top rather than the straight lines of traditional rectangular windows. The term “radius” refers to the arc shape that forms part of a circle, giving the window its signature curve.
Radius windows can be designed as:
Half-rounds
Full circles
Elongated arches
Quarter-round styles
They are often installed above doors or standard windows as decorative accents, but they can also stand alone as dramatic architectural focal points. The soft curve breaks up harsh rooflines and wall angles, creating a more balanced and visually appealing exterior.
Architectural Elegance That Elevates Curb Appeal
If you want to enhance your home’s curb appeal, radius windows are a standout choice. Their graceful curve naturally draws the eye upward, creating the illusion of taller ceilings and expanded space. This makes them especially impactful in:
Grand entryways
Vaulted living rooms
Stairwells
Master suites
Inside the home, radius windows introduce natural light in a softer, more inviting way than sharp, angular frames. They add timeless charm that complements both traditional and modern architecture — making them a versatile investment.
Milgard radius windows combine this elegant design with energy-efficient glass and durable frame materials built to handle Arizona’s demanding climate.
Versatile Design Options
One of the most appealing aspects of radius windows is their flexibility. Homeowners can choose from several distinctive styles:
Half-Round
A semicircle often placed above entry doors or rectangular windows for a classic, polished look.
Full-Round
A complete circle window that becomes a bold architectural centerpiece.
Elliptical or Eyebrow
A longer, subtle arch that adds elegance without overpowering the design.
Quarter-Round
A quarter-circle shape that works beautifully in corners or as part of a custom window arrangement.
Because of this variety, radius windows integrate seamlessly into stately traditional homes and sleek contemporary builds alike.
Bringing in Natural Light
Natural light is one of the greatest advantages of radius windows. Their curved design allows placement in areas where rectangular windows may not fit — such as above doorways, in vaulted ceilings, or as transom windows.
For example:
A radius window above your front door floods the entryway with sunlight.
A series of radius windows in a living room creates soft, ambient light throughout the day.
By drawing light from higher on the wall, they brighten a room while maintaining privacy.
Customizable to Fit Your Home
No two homes are alike — and your windows shouldn’t be either. At Greco Roman Windows and Doors, we offer customizable radius window solutions, including durable vinyl and fiberglass options from Milgard.
You can personalize:
Frame material
Finishes and colors
Grid patterns
Glass packages for energy efficiency
Whether you want your radius window to blend seamlessly with existing windows or stand out as a bold architectural feature, customization makes it possible.
Are Radius Windows Right for You?
Radius windows are perfect for homeowners who want more than functionality — they want character, elegance, and architectural interest. They’re ideal for emphasizing height, enhancing curb appeal, and maximizing natural light.
While they may represent a higher design investment than standard windows, their timeless beauty and versatility make them a worthwhile upgrade for many Phoenix homeowners.
