What this calculator does

Linear feet of baseboard for a room, minus the door openings.

How to use it

1. Enter the room length and width.
2. Enter the number of doors and the width of each.
3. Order the result and add a little for mitres and mistakes.

Why it matters

Trim is sold in fixed lengths, so the joints and mitres affect how much you waste. Planning the lengths so the joints fall in less visible places keeps the finished room looking clean.

Tips from the job site

• Order lengths long enough to reduce the number of joints.
• Paint or prime before installing and caulk after.
• Cope the inside corners for a tighter fit.

These results are estimates. We measure on site before we quote, and we confirm local rules with your city.
