Archway capping
Discussion
Hi guys
Doing some bits in our first home, there's an existing plaster non load bearing wall with a small arch which I want to keep but make the opening wider and arch bigger.
I'm looking for some kind of flexible capping I can push over the cut ends to form a fresh new edge to plaster to, I've found this which is ideal but not available in the UK from what I can see

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place or searching the wrong wording but cannot find anything readily available here!!!
Can anyone help?

Cheers, was just hoping there was something like the first one which would be even easier. I don't understand why it's not readily available, looks a lot easier to use than doing separate bits on each corner!
Agreed. I came this way about a year ago and made a wooden arch unit that was set into the wall (below the newly-raised lintel) and sitting in cutouts in the wall on either side. That meant I had a good inner surface to work with.The product you linked to looks perfect - but it will need to be exactly the right width to work. Using two separate strips could give a wonky result. I used them, but then I had the arch as an accurate former. Make sure you continue the strips onto the vertical section or you'll always see a visible angle.
