what is the best waty to fit chair rails/ molding around rounded drywall corners?

Answer 1

I want to assume you mean 90 degree corners but using the rounded seam fittings rather than the 90's.

Tight cuts in the back of any molding, allowing it it flex; and curve. The radius is too tight for even the Vinyl moldings. As long as I'v been in the trades; and as many innovations that have come along; I've yet to see evolution get to a point that resolutions like this are easy.

Rounded Drywall Corners

Answer 3

I know the type of edging you are referring too... What Ive seen done, is they actually make a square corner right where the chair rail is going to be placed. This leaves a very professional looking detail, and doesnt require any modification of the moulding. It almost looks as if someone carved the edge away, between the mouldings... like you would do with a router and a piece of wood.

Ive also seen caulk used as a filler directly behind the trim. The squared drywall edge looks better.

Answer 4

What is the circumference of the round. Do you know what I mean?
Rounded in what way. The first answer was right. There are limitations as to what your asking. I worked in Vegas on Multi million dollar homes with rounded foyers, with rounded stairwells about ten feet and, I saw carpenters going crazy trying to get the stairwells right.

Now, what's the circumference of the round? I have never seen one that wasn't molded. You could possibly do it. My father built boats and he made rounded corners with a steam tube, using a closed gutter pipe and steam, after several hours we'd take the wooden piece out and bend it to shape and pin it in.

I don't know if this helps or, if I am even understanding you.

Inside would be easier then outside.

Answer 5

Try using a 22.5 degree angle. Run the first piece just past the start of the curve, then cut a small piece with double 22.5's (one on each end) to span the curve. Good luck.

Answer 6

I would just stop and start before and after the rounded corner.
