Plaster arches add a stylish finish to any period home. They are often used in entry ways to provide visual impact on first entering the building.
Most Victorian homes in Melbourne featured a radius arch in the hall. It provided ornamentation and helped break up a long unwelcoming hallway.
Depending on the ornamentation they can either be welcoming or intimidating. A homeowner would usually opt for welcoming to greet people entering their home.
They can also be used above alcoves to provide interest and ornament.
What’s more, they provide decoration around square openings usually between rooms especially where 2 rooms have been opened into one.

F. Vitale & Sons can custom build them to your design requirements. We have made ranges from huge radius styles, through very wide elliptical designs, and on to elaborate panelled varieties. They provide a striking centre point for the entire house. To some extent every one of our designs is custom made, a radius is made to suit the width of the passage or hall and a square variety uses extension pieces or trimming to suit its location. Additionally, the choice of corbel can radically alter the appearance of an arching entrance.
