Gypsum Arch in Dubai
Al-Rahim Technical Services provides gypsum arch in Dubai — gypsum and false-ceiling work delivered cleanly, with no wet trades. Pricing is fixed and agreed before work starts, and the job is backed by a written 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Want to replace a plain rectangular doorway between your Al Qusais living room and majlis with a curved archway? Al-Rahim designs and builds gypsum arches that reshape an opening without touching the load-bearing structure around it.
Al-Rahim has served Dubai for 10+ years and is licensed by Dubai Government. Al Qusais has a mix of older apartment buildings and family villas, and many older units still have square door and window openings from the original build. We measure the exact opening width and wall thickness before framing any arch, and every quote is given upfront and in writing.
This service suits homeowners renovating a majlis entrance or hallway opening, and it suits anyone in Al Qusais adding a decorative arch feature to a living room without a full ceiling redesign.
What’s Included
A gypsum arch project with Al-Rahim covers the opening measurement through to the painted, finished curve.
- Opening measurement and wall thickness assessment
- Arch shape design (Roman, gothic, or segmental curve)
- Metal track and gypsum board framing of the curve
- Filling and sanding of the curved edge for a smooth line
- Corner bead reinforcement to prevent edge chipping
- Paint-ready finish or full paint application on request
Signs an Arch Would Improve Your Space
A plain square opening between two rooms in an Al Qusais apartment or villa can feel abrupt, especially in majlis and hallway areas where a softer transition is common in Gulf home design.
If you are already renovating a living room or replacing flooring, adding a gypsum arch at the same time avoids extra dust and disruption later, since framing work is easiest before new flooring goes in.
Arch Styles and Shapes
Segmental arches, with a gentle curve at the top of a square opening, are the most common choice in Al Qusais homes because they suit both modern and traditional interiors. Roman arches use a full semicircle and work best in taller openings.
For majlis entrances, some clients choose a double-arch design with a small pillar detail on each side, which adds a more formal, traditional Gulf-style entrance.
- Segmental (gentle curve) arch
- Roman (semicircle) arch
- Gothic (pointed) arch
- Double arch with pillar detail
What Affects the Price in Dubai
Arch price depends on opening width and curve complexity. A simple segmental arch on a standard door opening costs less than a Roman arch on a wide majlis entrance, since the wider curve needs more framing support.
Wall thickness in older Al Qusais buildings can also vary from newer construction, which we check on site to make sure the arch frame sits flush before quoting the final price.
Our Process in Detail
We start by measuring the exact opening and confirming the wall is not load-bearing in a way that restricts the curve shape you want. From there we mark out the arch design directly on site for your approval.
Framing uses flexible metal track bent to the curve, then gypsum board is scored and shaped over it. We finish with filling, sanding, and a smooth paint-ready edge, backed by a written satisfaction guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can any doorway be converted into a gypsum arch?+
Most standard openings can be converted, but we always check the wall type first. Load-bearing walls need extra care, and we confirm the safe curve shape during the site visit.
How long does a single gypsum arch take to build?+
A standard door-width arch typically takes 2 to 3 days including framing, boarding, filling, and sanding to a smooth finish.
Will the arch reduce my doorway width?+
A curved arch usually reduces usable width by a small amount at the very top of the curve only, not at standing height, so daily use is not affected.
Can you match the arch style to a majlis I have seen elsewhere?+
Yes. Bring a photo or describe the style, and we will draw a matching curve profile on site before framing begins.
Do you paint the arch or just install the gypsum shape?+
We hand over a paint-ready finish by default and offer full paint application as an add-on if you want the arch color-matched immediately.
Is a gypsum arch as durable as a straight gypsum wall?+
Yes, when framed correctly with metal track and reinforced corner beads, a gypsum arch holds up the same as a straight wall under normal household use.
