Patent ID: 8141316

Claim:
A method of fabricating a curved profile architectural element, comprising the steps of: providing a piece of drywall having a first edge and a second edge, the second edge being opposed to the first edge; cutting two parallel ninety degree “V” grooves in a face of the piece of drywall; forming a square corner by folding a portion of the piece of drywall over onto itself as dictated by the “V” grooves so that the folded portion is parallel to the face and securing the folded portion to the central portion; and bending the piece of drywall to a desired radius of curvature by applying pressure equally along the radius of curvature, wherein the “V” grooves are positioned spaced from each of the first edge and the second edge, thereby forming two of the folded portions and two opposed square corners, and wherein a backer board is centrally positioned between the two folded portions.
