How to MEASURE for   
Custom Applications


MOST APPLICATIONS REQUIRE A TEMPLATE

Oval, Elliptical, and Odd Radius Casing:
 Make sure the template fits exactly inside the radius edge. Multiply the rise times 3 and add the width, next round up to the next even footage to get material length needed.

 

Round Column, Crown and Base Molding:
 Determine the exact diameter width of the column (1/2, 3/4 or FULL coverage) next determine length needed and add 2 feet to calculate the material length needed.

 

Irregular Radius Crown:
 Make a template that fits against the wall curve or fits to the outside edge of the dormer and mark the template with the molding position information this is important (check orientation page if not sure), don't disregard this factor. Determine length needed and add 2 feet (for waste factor).

 

 

CROWN AND BASE MOLDING LIMITATIONS
1. Minimum 36" radius for profiles 8” to 10" wide and no restricted flexibility because of the molding width
2. Minimum 24" radius for profiles 6" to 8" wide, and the profile will flex 2" larger or smaller
3. Minimum 18" radius for profiles 5" to 6" wide, and the profile will flex 3" larger or smaller
4. Minimum 12" radius for profiles 4" to 5" wide, and the profile will flex 4" larger or smaller
5. Minimum 8" radius for profiles 3" to 4" wide, and the profile will flex 5" larger or smaller
6. Minimum 6" radius for profiles 2" to 3" wide, and the profile will flex 6" larger or smaller

ELLIPTICAL OUTBOARD RADIUS LIMITATIONS
1. Minimum 16" radius if the profile is 6" to 8" wide
2. Minimum 12" radius if the profile is 5" to 6" wide
3. Minimum 10" radius if the profile is 4" to 5" wide
4. Minimum8" radius if the profile is 3" to 4" wide
5. Minimum 6" radius if the profile is 2" to 3" wide

Rise" x 3 + width" = MATERIAL LENGTH

 

1/2 column: Rise" x 3 + width" = MATERIAL LENGTH

 

1/2 column:  Diameter" round up to nearest EVEN footage + 2' = MATERIAL LENGTH
