Arch

Basecoat · 27 Apr 2008

Hi All

Back again for advice. I have taken a window out and removed the wall. I have an opening of 2.00 meters high 1.8 meters wide 300mm thick. I was going make good the opening as it is but the wife wants an arch.

How can I achieve this without getting myself tangled. Positive feedback will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Internal, external?

Do you want an arch above the opening to support the something above, a level soffit but arch feature above, or do you just want to round the corners off in an 'arch-like' way?

Hi woody I want an inetrnal arch. I went and bought wicks arch formers. One side is no problem the other side it will nott fit flush because one side ceiling is lower than the other. Any ideas.

THANKS Guys

I managed to make arches myself. Installed them and plastered. Worked out really well.
