SPECIALTY ARCHWAYS SPECIFICATIONS

We have the ability to prefabricate any custom arch kit you could imagine. To get started, we simply need a few measurements along with a picture, drawing, or sketch of what you have in mind. From here, we’ll take your measurements and create  3D CAD drawings for your approval. So, send us those doodles on your morning coffee napkin, and let’s see if we can’t build you a custom arch kit.

Material

Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
(High Grade Moisture Resistant)

Thickness (in.) 1” – 1 ½” (depending on width)
Depth (in.) 1” to 5 ½”. Any depth over 5½” will be made as a split (a 2¾” arch for both the front and back of the opening). Lastly, a soft arch depth is limited to 18”. Anything greater than 18" is considered a barrel vault.

Your specialty arch kit will come with simple instructions.

HOW TO MEASURE CUSTOM ARCHES

  1. Measure the depth of your opening to the nearest 1/8”. 
  2. Measure the rough opening width to the nearest 1/8”. 
  3. Provide the total height you have available to the nearest 1/8”.
  4. Send us a picture, drawing or sketch of the custom arch kit you have in mind.

SPECIALTY ARCH TOTAL HEIGHT

How much height do you have to work with? While we might not need all of the total height you specify, it will at least give us a maximum boundary to work against. So when you give us your total height, you want to be comfortable with the amount you give us.

HOW TO INSTALL A CUSTOM SPECIALTY ARCH

Every specialty arch kit comes with tailored installation instructions to your specifications. We promise to make it simple.  Measure and mark here. Nail this piece here. Nail that piece there. Viola! You're done.

FAQ

How long does it take to get my specialty arch?

Specialty arch kits normally take 5 - 9 business days to manufacture (in most cases sooner). Then add a few days for shipping. Plan for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 weeks from date of order.

How do you ship my specialty arches?

Depending upon the size of your order, most specialty arch kits ship in boxes via UPS Ground. If you order several arch kits or if you also order a ceiling or wall design kit, it could ship on a pallet via UPS Freight. If you’d like to know how it will ship before placing your order, simply call us and we’ll let you know.

How do you drywall a specialty arch?

Drywalling a custom specialty arch is comprised of measuring the curvature of the arch, cutting the drywall to the curvature and depth, forming and fastening in place. You can also watch our "How to Drywall an Archway" YouTube video.

QUICK TIPS

  • Wetting the back of the drywall (as shown in the video) will make the drywall easier to bend.
  • For tighter radius specialty arches, consider using a double layer of either ¼” or ¼” flex drywall.

How do you finish specialty archways?

Drywall, plaster, wood veneer, brick veneer, trim, tile… the list is seemingly endless. Whether you want your specialty archway to have a simple or an ornate finish, the choice is yours. You can also watch our "7 Creative Ideas to Finish Your Ceilings & Archways" YouTube video.

what our customers are saying

All Star Homes loves the framing kits that archways and ceilings has to offer. Price is affordable and ordering products that come in a timely manner is impressive. So we have to use these guys on all our custom homes. I would recommend Archways & Ceilings to anyone!

Craig Parker, President

We’ve been using Archways & Ceilings’ soft segmented arches for over 10 years now. They save us time, money and have improved the quality of our homes. Out-of-round and crooked arches are a thing of the distant past. Great product!

Archways & Ceilings’ corbel arches are an elegant look easily achieved at a great price. Plus the quality is top-notch. Look no further, they’re the best at what they do, or your carpenter can do.

Kory Moon
Crescent Builders

Calais has been using Archways & Ceilings since 2009. Their products provide the builder with accurate dome ceilings, barrel vaults, groin vaults, and tudor archways. There has never been a design by any of our architects that Archways & Ceilings has not been able to manufacture. Once you have used Archways & Ceilings, you will never want to do the arches and ceilings any other way.

Christine Riggs / Project Manager

Calais Custom Homes, Southlake, TX

I used to cringe when I’d hear a client request an elliptical arch, because I knew it meant I’d have to build it as oppose to delegating this to one of my guys. Plus the time it takes to build these correctly would take me half a day. Not anymore. Archways & Ceilings elliptical arches are too quick and easy. I couldn’t believe the simplicity as well as the ease of installation with the provided detailed instructions. Truly an amazing product.
