How To Round A Home’S Exterior Corners?

To create a rounded drywall corner, use a staple gun to staple the corner bead to the drywall and apply joint compound to the outside angle. Once dry, sand and re-coat as usual. Rounded corners add a soft, adobe-like look to a room and a more finished look to trimless open doorways. They can be created using curved wall segments of a specific radius joined to straight wall segments.

To create perfectly smooth wall corners, start with a straight and secure corner and check the framing for straightness before hanging the drywall. Assemble the corner so there are no overhanging edges. Cut or spray insulation into the corner to weatherproof the interior of your home. Trim it about an inch shy of being flush with the corner studs on the exterior side of the wall.

Rounded or radiused wall corners can be created using curved wall segments of a specific radius joined to straight wall segments. This guide covers corner framing methods, essential tools and materials, and step-by-step instructions to help you frame corners like a pro.

To give a room an adobe-like look, make your corners rounded instead of square. Use a putty knife to apply a coat of drywall compound on top of the rounded corner, smooth it with a drywall taping knife, and slightly round off where needed. Another method is to model separate small/thin radiused walls that have only the exterior layer material, using Join Geometry to join to the “”” in the corner.

In summary, creating rounded drywall corners can add a soft, adobe-like look to a room and provide a more finished look to trimless open doorways.

  • Very helpful. Brand new to using a router. Working on a windowsill. I plan to use a round over bit for the edges but wanted to round out the corners (I have kids) because like you said they’re sharp. I couldn’t figure out if a rounded corner might be achieved with a round over bit or if I should do this part in the article first and then go over with the round over bit. Just a first time DIY’er mom trying to make stuff look nice. 😊
