In architecture and interior design, curved spaces pose challenges to the application of grille lines, but there are also many clever ways to deal with them.
First, material selection is the key first step. For curved spaces, materials with better flexibility are preferred. For example, wooden grille lines can adapt to bending to a certain extent if they are made of thin wood sheets or specially treated cork. Grille lines made of plastic materials such as PVC have good flexibility and can be bent to fit the space by heating and other methods. For example, in some curved commercial display spaces, using bendable PVC grille lines, after heating and softening, using molds or fixtures to fit the curved walls can create a smooth decorative effect.
Secondly, segmented splicing is a commonly used and effective method. Divide the grille lines into several small segments and calculate the angle and length of each segment according to the curvature of the curved space. When splicing, special connectors or glue can be used to ensure the firmness and smooth transition of the splicing. For example, in the decoration of circular building columns, grille lines are cut into narrow strips and then spliced at a suitable angle, like a puzzle, around the column, which can fit the curved surface and maintain the overall beauty of the grille lines.
In addition, the use of elastic filling materials is also a good choice. Fill the gap between the grille lines and the curved space with elastic materials, such as foam rubber. These materials can fill the gaps caused by the mismatch of the bend, and can also play a role in buffering and fixing. In some ceiling decorations with slight curvature, this method can make the grille lines adhere better, and visually it will not appear abrupt due to the tiny gap.
Finally, custom mold molding is a high-end processing method. For some curved spaces with extremely high requirements for decorative effects, molds can be made according to the precise shape of the space. The raw materials of the grille lines are placed in the mold, and they are formed into a shape that completely matches the curved space through processes such as hot pressing and injection molding. This method is more expensive, but it can achieve perfect decorative effects and is often used for special curved space decoration in high-end hotels, art exhibition halls and other places.
