Do -it -yourself repair. Create an arch

Having started repairs in the apartment, we constantly learn something new, we master construction professions. Then this is painting or pasting the walls, then we do a hinged ceiling, and now I want to make an arch in the doorway. To do this, it is enough to study how to work with drywall, and how such structures are built. Let’s figure out how to do this without resorting to the help of specialists. But first decide on the shape of the arch. You can order a cosmetic repairs estimate in Moscow in Remonter-MSK.

1. We get to work. On the entire horizontal plane of the opening, drill holes, and in the corners of the vertical and down 40 cm. Make the frame of the future arch in the selected form and fix it in drilled holes with screws.

2. Cut the strip from the fiberboard equal to the width of the opening + 12 cm. This is necessary for the formation of curvature. We fasten the strip in the doorway. This is the bottom of the arch.

3. The space obtained from the frame from below, and on top and side with the walls, it is necessary to pierce with mounting foam so that the frame does not deform.

4. After the foam is hardened, cut off the excess with a knife and compare with the walls. Remove the frame. It turned out durable, but at the same time light design. We fasten a flexible corner around the entire perimeter of the arch. We align with putty the surface of the structure and glue the wallpaper.

Thus, we get a ready -made arch made on our own. So you can decorate all the doorways in the house. The arch will also give your interior harmony and a feeling of completeness, and visually expand the space of rooms.
