In years past,
curved walls required extra labor and therefore extra cost.
walls are created by using a sandwich of vertical 2-by material
(2x6 or 2x4) in between horizontal layers of 2-by material.
simple enough when doing straight runs of walls, but what
happens when you make a curved wall? well this is where the
framer becomes a carpenter, and draws out the desired curve on
expensive plywood, then he uses a jigsaw to cut out enough
templates to make up for the thickness in the top and bottom
plates of the framed wall.
Now you can see why it was expensive to do curved walls.
Curved walls
are now easier than ever, this new product
www.flexc.com
makes everything a breeze. now the framer simply lays out the
curved wall on the deck or pad and then slides this winding
snake of material, the flex c plate. attaches it to the deck.
then inserts his vertical 2-by material and then applies the top
flex c plate along the top of the 2-bys'. it's incredibly simple
and very cost effective.
have a look
and watch the video link on the left hand side of the page. This
product is very affordable and very quick to construct. So if
the builder gives you a big headache about the curved walls then
ask him if he is familiar with this product and go from there |
