measure the length of the arch over the radius and on this indicator 2 cut the same profile.Then, at intervals of about 5 cm make "cuts" on the sides of each profile, which is then bent in the shape of an arch, followed by screwing to the drywall.

Next cut out a strip of gypsum board, the length of which coincides with the radius of the arch, and the width - the width of the door opening.The front side of the resulting "blank" moistened with water and a spiked roller.Bending parts must be careful not to damage the material.After giving the desired shape element we wait until completely dry and fasten the item to the frame using screws.
