Installation Tips
1. Measure Wall Length Accurately
Always measure each wall separately instead of estimating total room size to ensure calculation accuracy.
2. Include Door Gaps & Openings
Subtract areas where skirting is not needed, such as doorways or built-in cabinets.
3. Add Extra Waste Margin (5–10%)
It is recommended to add 5–10% extra material for cutting loss, corners, and installation adjustments.
4. Consider Profile Height and Style
Different skirting profiles (flat, curved, LED, stainless steel) may affect installation efficiency and coverage.
5. Double Check Units
Ensure all measurements are in the same unit (meters or feet) before calculation.
