Explain what the curve needs to achieve
Before drawing the layout, clarify whether the wall will separate areas, follow a passage or line an existing element. The curve should respect the use of both sides and the circulation space. A drawing with references to the room makes it possible to discuss the intention without mistaking a decorative image for geometry that is already ready to build.
Check the radius and board product
The permitted radius depends on the board type, its thickness and the installation method specified by the manufacturer. Not all boards bend in the same way, and not every radius is feasible. The product is selected once the geometry has been checked, taking account of the framing and preparation needed before the configuration or finish is settled.
Define the framing and end details
A curved layout needs framing that follows its shape and resolves the supports and junctions with other elements. The ends, the connections to the floor and ceiling, and any openings form part of the design. The conditions of the existing supporting base are also reviewed, so that the solution does not rely on improvising installation when work starts on site.
Plan doors, services and fixings
A door, switch or object to be fixed later may affect where the curve changes or where a surface is reserved. Loads and fittings are considered before the assembly is closed so that the necessary reinforcement and service openings can be arranged. The geometry should not force incompatible fixings or conceal connections that need to remain accessible.
Consider lighting and the surface finish
A curved surface reflects light differently from a flat wall. The intended lighting and covering help define the finish level and visible junctions. Agree these conditions and the area to be treated, distinguishing the board installation from painting or other decorating tasks that may be commissioned separately.
Prepare useful measurements and references
To start the enquiry, indicate the intended curve on a simple plan or a general photograph. Describe the elements that need to be retained and how the new division will be used. Approximate measurements help us assess feasibility and identify points to check; the specific proposal sets out the layout, configuration and conditions of the work.
- Desired route of the curve and use of both sides.
- Height, length and references within the room.
- Doors, fittings and objects to be attached.
- Planned finish and lighting.
