How to elevate the doorway

Before working

Before you begin the process of finishing the doorway arches, it is necessary to prepare a number of the necessary tools that will be useful in their work.A list of these instruments is as follows:

• Simple pencil and ruler.
• sheets of drywall.
• guides vertical and horizontal.
• Homemade compass, which is made of slats and nails.
• cutting tool.For example?jigsaw.
• few screws.
• arched corners.

Step by Step operation

Work on decorating the doorway will consist of the following steps:

• Calculations
• Selection of raw materials
• Fixing guides
• Marks on
• material Mounting materials guides
• compounds with two vertical halves of a profile.
• Caulking and painting the finished arch.

to work

• Step 1. Calculations.Measure the height of the door and add to it five centimeters.The resulting length will be the height of the arch.

• Step 2. Selection of raw materials.Different materials are suitable for carrying out work on the decoration of the doorway.This may be a different wood, drywall or plastic.The most widespread and convenient to use material is drywall.On its way to the example shown will work in this article.
• Step 3. Mounting the rails.After measuring work, as well as the choice of material for the installation, you are ready to get started.The first step is to mount the arch mounting rails.After their installation, you must measure the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the horizontal track and the width of the resulting opening.

• Step 4. Mark on fabric.Get in the third step, the dimensional figures move on a sheet of drywall.You then need to calculate the radius of the arch, which will be the width of the arches, divided by two.Next, using a homemade compass, which consists of a nail and rail, it is necessary to draw a circle arch.Repeat the above steps for applying markings on another sheet of drywall.Then you need to cut the marked items jigsaw.Thus, we get the necessary parts for the installation of the decorative object in the doorway.

• Step 5. Mounting materials guide.It is necessary to attach a cut guide to the workpiece via screws.Next is to make the slopes, in the manufacturing process of which there is mounting guide profile to the arched blanks.It is necessary to focus on the fact that the guide circumferentially aligned.
• Step 6: Connect two vertical halves using a profile.This process occurs by a small segment of the profile, which has to be inserted in the guide attachment.
• Step 7 Caulking and painting the finished arch.During this step, you need to putty the surface of the arches and joints.After drying putty painting should make the resulting design.

Thus, in an article a few steps in manufacturing the arch of the doorway from the drywall have been described in detail.
