I'm not sure what you mean, but you can smoothly bend drywall to make a curved wall by scoring across the back in enough places (and close together) to curve it back to fit. Good Luck!

i would start by screwing the ends down on one side then get a damp sponge and wet the sheetrock one section at a time till it bends attaching along the way

I have had to repair a few archways in 1950's and 60's homes, and I use 1/4" drywall because it bends easy without breaking. After the first layer, I simply apply a second layer that brings it out to 1/2" thick. For those of you who haven't tried this, you should. I can do an arch in less than ten minutes with both layers. I have not had to score or wet the drywall with this method. I have also done 1 victorian curved wall with the same results!

Walls and Ceilings
Exterior ceiling material

on Jul 22, 2000

I have an exterior entry way to my frontdoor and the ceiling material is textured drywall. The problem is we have wasps who build mud nests that can only be pressure washed off. The drywall ceiling can't take the pressure wash. What material can I use to replace the drywall ceiling?
