How much mouldings do I need for my project?

Calculate the Amount of Mouldings you Need

Here is the calculation to determine the amount of mouldings needed:

• Baseboards:
  Measure the perimeter of the room minus the width of the doors.
• Door Frames:
  Provide 2 pieces of 7 ‘or 8’ for the sides and measure the top of the door.
• Window Framing:
  Measure the entire outline of your window and add 5%.
• Ogees:
  Measure the perimeter of the room and add 10%.
• Rails:
  Measure the perimeter of the room minus the width of the doors and windows.
• Caissons:
  To find out how much moulding is necessary for your project, you can make a drawing using masking tape on your wall. You will be able to calculate the amount of mouldings for the realization of your project.
