Before starting the arch creation, it is necessary to perform the preparation of the opening, which includes the removal of all irregularities that may prevent the installation of the profile, as well as the dismantling of the door box. After the performed manipulations it is possible to proceed with the installation of the metal profile.

Production of gypsum plasterboard elements of arch

Having obtained the necessary values ​​after measuring the opening, proceed to the sheet layout of the drywall. In solving this problem we will be helped by a thread, with an incision at the ends with an awl and a pencil, which we use as compasses. Inserting an awl into a sheet of drywall, and evenly pulling the thread on it, draw a smooth arc, and then cut it out along the contour with a jig saw. For cutting a paired element from plasterboard, the finished part is already used, along which the contour is drawn.

Installation of a metal profile consists of such stages

  • Using special dowels, fix the guides from the metal profile on the top of the opening, and also on the walls from the upper corners of the opening to the point where the arch touches the wall
  • We take a new profile and, using scissors for metal, cut the edges in order to accurately bend the profile in the shape of the arch. We need two such arc elements
  • To strengthen the design, you need to fix between the two arc elements of the future arch the segments of the metal profile

In order to create a neat bend for our arch, we will use the "wet method". With this method, the bend turns neat and does not require a large amount of filler to seal the joints.

Cut off part of the drywall sheet, according to the size of our arch, and a little wet it with water. For faster penetration of moisture, the sheet can be punctured with a special needle roller. After the sheet is impregnated with moisture, we give it the shape of an arch and let it dry for a new shape.
