Curved ceiling

[Smoothdude]

Hi guys I've got my first plastering job on next week :RpS_biggrin: But it's a curved ceiling with no break in between the wall and ceiling on one side. What would be the best way to go about this it's not very big about 4sqm. Thanks in advance!!!!!!

You can get flexible plaster boards which have a layer of fibreglass in them especially for curved walls/ceiling etc. Not cheap though and only 6 mm thick :RpS_thumbup:

[h=1]British Gypsum Glasroc Multiboard 6mm x 1200mm x 2400mm[/h]

Try Gtec 'contour' boards pal

 

[Smoothdude]

Thanks guys but how do these boards help?? As I have not heard of them before.

 

[Rhys]

They are very flexible and can be bent into arches, round curved walls etc without breaking. have used the Glasroc ones on curved archways before (builder supplied). On;y a problem if regs say you need a minimum thickness etc I guess.

 

[Smoothdude]

Thanks again will look into this

i used the contour board on a egg shaped building [only walls] and double boarded it to get thickness one coat portrait one coat landscape

Why are we boarding it? Have i missed somthin?:RpS_unsure:

is it just reskimming existing?

 

[Rhys]

Here's one we did - though it was a big area and took full sheets of 3/8ths 8x4, wouldn't work on a tighter bend.

Do you mean the wall and ceiling are effectively one,in that there is no corner to seperate them?if so i would be inclined to skim both ceiling and wall together,would make for a better job.

Yes that is what I meant sorry for not being clear.

As the man above said then smoothdude......do it as one:RpS_thumbup:

No problem mate, as said do them both together,you could skim the ceiling around the curve onto the wall and feather it in but id prefer option 1.

Aw, you guys are the greatest :RpS_wub:

Im guessing you will need to form the curve with thistle bonding first then skim the lot.
