drywalling your cove ceiling
We recommend using two layers of ¼” exible drywall. Some big box stores stock ¼” drywall, but in the event that your
local big box store doesn’t, search Google using the following search terms:
· quarter inch drywall + your city + your state/province
· ¼ inch drywall + your city + your state/province
· ¼” drywall + your city + your state/province
· ¼ inch drywall suppliers + your city + your state/province
· ¼” drywall suppliers + your city + your state/province
Drywall can also be called wallboard, sheetrock, gypsum
board or plaster board. So, if you don’t have any luck with
the search terms above, try replacing the word drywall with
one of its synonyms.
Using the drywall corner templates on the bottom of the box, rst trace the arc of the
appropriate type of corners on to the back of your ¼” drywall and note the top and
bottom as shown on the template.

For a Smoother Finish: Whether in new construction or in a remodel, if you don’t have a reveal, extend the drywall 4” past the end of the
cove. (If you are in a remodel, the installation instructions have already accounted for the 4” when you removed the drywall).
new construction
If you have chosen to extend the drywall 4” past the end of the cove, you need to
extend the template on the appropriate side, depending upon your cove style.
Helpful Tip: This can be a tad confusing, so visit www.archkit.com/drywall-cove and
watch our “How-To” video to learn how to properly lay out drywall corners.

Using a utility knife, cut your corners to a length so that they span from the corner to
the middle of a cove piece.
3.
Wet the back of the drywall with a sponge and lean your corners against the wall at a
45° angle so that the back of the drywall faces the wall.
Helpful Tip: We have always been proponents of wetting the back of the drywall to help
it bend easier, as opposed to scoring the back with a utility knife. Scoring the back of the
drywall could potentially weaken the drywall and lead to hairline cracks in your nish.
4.
After letting the moisture soak into the back of drywall a few minutes, gently apply
pressure and begin to create a curve.
5.
Using the cove pieces as a form, mold each corner into place by slowly working the
drywall up a few inches at a time.
6.
Once the corners are in place, use a screw gun and drywall screws to fasten in place.
7.
After all the corners have been drywalled: Measure the correct lengths, then cut, wet,
curve and mold all areas in-between the corners.
8.
That's it! You’re now ready for tape, mud, texture and paint. Want to get fancy?
Add a little gold leaf to make it pop.

nishing, gold leaf, etc…), visit www.archkit.com/cove-ceilings and be inspired.
