Q. I want to order coving for my room, how do I work out how much I need?

To calculate how much coving you need to order, simply follow these steps:

  1. Measure the perimeter of your room in metres as accurately as possible.
  2. Add 10% to that measurement to allow for wastage when cutting around corners.
  3. Round the total up to the next whole metre – this is the amount you should order.

For example, if your room’s perimeter is 23.2 metres, adding 10% (2.32 metres) brings the total to 25.52 metres. Rounded up, you would need to order 26 metres of coving.
