How to Calculate Trim and Molding
Calculating the right amount of trim and molding is crucial for your renovation project. Here's what you need to know:
Baseboard Calculation
To calculate baseboard length, measure the perimeter of your room and add 10% for waste and cuts. For a 12' × 15' room, you'll need approximately 54 linear feet of baseboard (27' + 30' = 54' plus 10% = 59.4').
Door Casing Requirements
For each standard door (32" × 80"): - Two vertical pieces: 85" each - One horizontal piece: 37" Total per door: Approximately 17 linear feet
Window Trim Guidelines
For each standard window (36" × 54"): - Two vertical pieces: 60" each - One horizontal piece: 41" Total per window: Approximately 13.5 linear feet
