| Coving, railing, skirting
and architrave
- Accurately measure the surface area where you'll be installing the
mouldings.
- Add 5% to this total to allow for wastage (10% if ordering from our plaster range).
- For flexible mouldings on curved walls a minimum radius is given for
each moulding. This is the tightest curve that each moulding can accommodate,
so please check this dimension.
Door Surrounds (Kits, Design Your Own and Combinations)
- Measure height and width of the area you are going to cover.
Tongue & Groove Panelling
- Measure the width of the area you are looking to cover in centimetres.
- Each panel has a width of 18cm, but usually people cut the 2 metre
lengths into 2 x 1 metre lengths that will then sit between skirting
and dado. Assuming that you are doing this, divide your width measurement
by 36 and this will tell you how many lengths you will need.
Faux Panels
- Measure the perimetre of the shapes you are creating, and order accordingly.
- Allow an additional 5% for wastage(10% if ordering from our plaster range).
Library Systems
- These fit to the fascia of your recessed area only.
- Measure height and width of the area you are going to cover. The component
parts are supplied to set sizes, but vertical and horizontal sections
can be cut to size, or added to if required.
Ceiling Roses
- These are supplied only in the sizes shown.
- Generally, the larger the room, the larger the ceiling rose.
- 'If being used with a chandalier the rose should not be bigger than
the chandalier - two thirds to full width is a good rule of thumb.
Pediments
- All pediments are supplied to the sizes shown and most cannot be altered.
Pediments 8 and 9 however can be reduced in width or increased by butting
two together.
Raised Panels, Niches, Recessed Wall Lights, Corbels,
Shelves, Brackets and Ceiling Domes
- These are all supplied to the dimensions shown only, so please ensure
that you measure the spaces in which they are to be used to be sure
that they will fit.
Beams & Joists
- Main beams generally cross the narrowest width of the room, so measure
this and order accordingly.
- To make up a full ceiling design take the dimensions of the room,
including chimney breasts, bay windows etc, and draw these out to scale
on a piece of paper. Add your main beams in first and work in smaller
beams and joists. For fuller details see our 'designing
your ceiling' page.

PVC Wall & Ceiling Panels
When measuring for walls order panels for
each wall individually and include door areas in your measurements.
This should then give you ample tolerance for wastage.
So, for each wall:
- Divide this measurement by the panel width.
- Repeat this for each wall and add up the number of panels required.
Then check how many panels are in a pack for your chosen design
and round up for the number of packs you require.
- The heights of each panel are shown against each product. Don’t
forget that if additional height is required you can factor in
the height of your skirting board.
When measuring for ceilings:
- If you are using panels on walls and ceilings, it is advisable
to use different colours. White and white & silver are the
most popular for ceilings.
- You can run panels in either direction across your ceiling,
but generally the most cost effective route is to run the width
of you panels along the narrower dimension.
- Divide narrower measurement by the panel width.
- If the wider dimension of the ceiling is larger than the length
of your chosen panel call for advise if required.
Laminated Shower Panels
- For a single corner, 2 wall unit simply check that there is
enough height and width on the panels for you, and order 2 panels.
- For a 2 corner, 3 wall alcove simply check that there is enough
height and width on the panels for you, and order 3 panels.
- For a full bathroom or wet room, follow the instructions above
for PVC Wall & Ceiling Panels.
