- the arcuate wall is adapted to be constructed as part of a vertical wall or horizontal wall.
- the arcuate wall is adapted to be constructed as part of a corner wall.
- the arcuate wall is adapted to be constructed as part of a corner between a vertical wall and a horizontal wall.
- the planar wall panel is fixed to the arcuate wall frame with suitable fastening means such as nails, screws, adhesives, or a combination of nails, screws and adhesives or any other suitable fastening means.

- the arcuate wall has a 1 A round or 1 A or % round or full round shape.
- the fastening means is an adhesive suitable to hold and retain the wall panel in place.
- the invention resides in an arcuate wall, wherein the arcuate wall includes:
- the invention resides in a template for use in constructing an arcuate wall wherein the template includes:
- indicia on at least one planar surface of the template, wherein the indicia is adapted to indicate the desired placement of the stud members to form the arcuate wall.
- the indicia consists of two sets of lines, wherein a first set consists of a plurality of lines that are parallel to one of the non-arcuate side of the template and the second set consists of a plurality of lines that are parallel to the other non-arcuate side of the template, the lines of each set are parallel to and spaced apart from another, wherein the spaced apart distance equates to the width of a stud member.
- Figure 1 shows a template for use in forming an arcuate wall in accordance to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a base plate in accordance to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of an arcuate wall constructed in accordance to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 4 shows a similar view to figure 3, however in accordance to another embodiment according to the invention.
- FIG. 5 A-D shows examples of arcuate walls in accordance to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a preferred form of a template 10 to be used in accordance to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a five sided planar shape 10 having four straight sides 12, 13, 14, 15 and one curved side 11.
- the radius of the curve is preferably 200mm, however other dimensions of radii are possible such as preferably ranging from 100mm to 700mm.
- the template can have three, four or more sides, as long as one of those sides is curved.
- the template has two sets of lines.
- the first set 21, 22, 23 are parallel to the side 13 and the other set of lines are parallel to side 12 such that the lines of each set are spaced from another a distance equivalent to the width of the stud members to be used so as to define areas in which the stud members are to be placed.
- FIG 1 there are four such areas shown, 26(a), 27, 28, 29, however any number of areas greater than or equal to are envisaged in dependence upon the size of curve (ie radius thereof) and the size (width) of the stud members being used.
- the template is preferably made from a thin plastic material or can be made from stiff cardboard or card or even a thin piece of wood or any other suitable material. In use the template is used to mark top and bottom based plates with corresponding lines equivalent to that on the template.
- a base plate 30 is shown already marked with markings corresponding to that on the template 10 ( Figure 1).
- the base plate as shown in figure 2 is a three sided geometric figure having two straight sides 31 32 and a third side that is curved 33. As with the template it is envisaged that the base plate can have any number of sides greater than and equal to three as long as one of those sides is curved.
- the preferred form is of a three sided base plate as shown in figure 2.
- the base plate 30 is marked with one set of lines 41, 42, 43 that are parallel with side 32 and which define stud member receiving areas 47, 48.
- the base plate 30 is further marked with another set of lines 44, 45, 46 that are parallel with side 31 and which define further stud member receiving areas 49, 49(a).
- the stud member receiving areas 47, 48, 49, 49(a) define the exact positions for the stud members in order to achieve the arcuate wall.
- FIG 3 there is shown a cross section of an assembled arcuate wall in accordance to an embodiment of the invention.
- the arcuate wall has stud members 51, 52, 53, 54 positioned and aligned with the respective stud member receiving areas 49(a), 49, 48, 47 (figure X).
- a longitudinal side 51 (a) of the stud members is positioned and aligned with the edge of curved side 33 of the base plate 30 such that the longitudinal side 51(a) is adjacent and in alignment with to the curved side 33 as shown in figure 3.
- a planar wall panel 50 is bent into and fixed into place so that an inner surface of the planar wall panel abuts with the curved side edge 33 and the surface of the longitudinal side 51 (a) of the stud member.
- top and bottom plates are marked with markings indicating the positions of where the stud members 51, 52, 53, 54 are to be positioned.
- the top plate is then secured in position on the ceiling or ceiling frame or similar upper surface and the base plate secured in position on the floor or similar lower surface.
- the base plates can be either screwed, nailed, glued, or a combination thereof, into position.

- a planar wall member, preferably plaster board or Gib board is aligned with the arcuate wall frame such that the centre of the planar wall member 50 is aligned with the middle 33b of the arcuate wall member.
- the planar wall member 50 is then positioned as shown in dotted lines by the numeral 59(a) such that an end 59(f) of the planar wall member 50 abuts with and is fixed to end 33(a) of arcuate wall frame.
- planar wall member 50 is then slowly and gradually bent (positioned 59(b) and 50(c)) to follow the contour of the arcuate wall frame until end 50(e) of the wall frame member abuts with and fixed to end 33(c) of the arcuate wall frame.
- the planar wall member can be moistened in order to enhance the bend capabilities thereof.
- the planar wall member is preferably glued to the arcuate wall frame, however other known fastening methods can be used.
- Figure 4 is similar to that of figure 3, however it shows another preferred method of attaching the planar wall member 50 to the arcuate wall frame.
- the planar wall member 50 is first fixed in place at its centre 50(d) to the middle of the arcuate wall frame and then the respective ends 59(e) and 50(f) are rotated towards the respective ends 33(a) and 33(e) of the arcuate wall member so as to bend the planar wall member 50 to follow the contours of the arcuate wall frame.
- Figure 5A shows a preferred corner wall construction where the arcuate wall 70 is situated between two vertical side walls 71, 72 and the curvature of the arcuate wall is less than that of the arcuate wall for the corner wall shown in figure 5D.
