Plaster boarding a curves wall

thehamo

Guys.

Any hints or tips on plasterboarding a curved wall? I'm looking at renting out a unit. I need a quick turn around and can't get a builder to take on the job because they're all up to their t1ts in re-boom building works.

I shall there fore be considering the work my self. I have no problem putting up the board and taping and jointing it all my self, it's just this bloody curved wall thats throwing a curve ball!!

Pic attached for reference.

Thanks in advance

You can buy curved plasterboard.

You could do strips of plasterboard but would be less circular.

Easiest option for supply is stud wall with 6mm ply, lam or MDF to bend around the stud wall . Then finish

Wet the slabs where you want the curve and place the ends above ground level, the higher up the supports are the deeper the curve will be, leave overnight.

If you need a big curve do it over a couple of nights.

Cheers for the replys.

I was thinking about the ply option alright I dont need a perfect curve my self, its just the main block wall is curved so I was wondering how I would go about finishing it.
