how to measure plaster cornice
Cornice / Coving

To help you work out the correct quantity of coving for your room we have put together the following formula:

Accurately total up the perimeter of the room in metres, then add 10%. Divide by the length of your chosen Cornice (shown on the product details) then round that figure up to the next full length.

So for example, you have chosen the ‘Grand Victoria‘ for the following:

1) Room perimeter = 22.4m

2) Add 10% at 2.24m = 24.64m

3) Divide by 2.6m = 9.47

4) Round up 9.47 to the next full length = 10 lengths

Note: Add 15% to total meterage if you have more than 6 mitres (corners)

If you are still unsure, then please email us a plan of your room and we will be happy to advise.
