Measure
When you have decided on a project, you will need to measure the length of each wall to determine how much moulding to buy. When you measure each wall add one full foot to the measurement to allow for mistakes.
Using a graph like the one shown below, sketch the shape of your room with each
square representing 1 foot. Then use the formula as shown in the example to determine the amount of moulding you will need.
Example:
| Wall A: |
13 feet |
+ |
1 foot = |
14 |
| Wall B: |
12 feet |
+ |
1 foot = |
13 |
| Wall C: |
6 feet |
+ |
1 foot = |
7 |
|
4 feet |
+ |
1 foot = |
5 |
| Wall D: |
7 feet |
+ |
1 foot = |
8 |
| |
2 feet |
+ |
1 foot = |
3 |
| Total Moulding Needed: = 50 feet |
