Arches with more than two centres form ellipses, oval outlines or more complicated shapes. These arches are less common but are still required for period renovation or extension, as well as modern development.
As with semi-circular arches and the Gothic arches, you may need to consider support for the full thickness of the wall as well as the outer skin.
