Curved wooden structure made of several thin layers of wood, placed on a concrete floor.

Size

Radius:

  • Any radius can be produced (including subtle cambers, curved top and bottom plates, multiple curves)

    • Curves greater than 1.0m radius are setup on our curve press, and are economical to produce

    • Curves less than 1.0m radius require special jigs, and incur significant setup and build costs

Lengths:

  • Dependent on curve radius / shape

Notes on ordering curves:

  • We can produce curves that have a constant curvature, variable curvature or multiple curves

  • We can finish to any size required

  • Cost is dependent on radius, lamination thickness, complexity and length

  • Provide us with a fixed radius, detailed drawings or a template
