  • Length = Length of the moulding horizontally.
  • Width = Width from side to side.
  • Curve = Moulding or wall that is rounded.
  • Radius = A straight line from the center of a circle or sphere to any point of the outer edge. (Diameter / 2 = Radius).

• How do I calculate waste?
  A.   we suggest to order 10 % additional material “called waste” as a standard.

  In addition; there are other factors that requires you to increase the material needed.

  • If you have outside cuts or self return. Each such corner requires 2 times the projection of the profile. Example; A cove that has 6″ projection, you will need to add 12″ for each of such corner.
  • if the cove has a pattern. The longer the repeat of a pattern in a profile, more waste might be required.
• What is the Fire Rating on your products?
  Is a fire rating important to you? Our plaster moulding was tested and scored a Rating of Class “A” ~ Plaster molding has a 0.0 flame spread.

  US building code officials recognize the ASTM E 84 rating system as the standard method for testing against flame spread.  A Class “A” is the highest rating a product can score when tested under this testing method. There is nothing beyond or above a Class “A”. This is the assurance we all should be looking for when our loved ones lives could be at risk.
