How to Measure Edging Strips for Wardrobe Furniture347

As a leading manufacturer of furniture edge banding in China, we understand the importance of precise measurements for achieving a professional-looking finish. When it comes to measuring edging strips for wardrobe furniture, there are a few key steps to follow to ensure an accurate fit.

Step 1: Determine the Length of the Edging Strip

To determine the length of the edging strip you need, measure the perimeter of the wardrobe's panels where the strip will be applied. This includes the front, back, sides, and any internal shelves or drawers. Note down the measurements in millimeters or inches.

Step 2: Calculate the Overlap

Edge banding strips typically overlap slightly at the corners of the wardrobe. This overlap helps to conceal the raw edges of the panels and provides a more finished appearance. The amount of overlap required will vary depending on the thickness of the edging strip and the mitre joint method you plan to use. A standard overlap of 10-15mm is recommended.

Step 3: Add the Overlap to the Perimeter Measurement

To the perimeter measurement you obtained in Step 1, add the total amount of overlap required. Multiply the overlap value by the number of corners where the edging strip will be applied. For example, if you have a wardrobe with 6 corners and a 10mm overlap, you would add 60mm to the perimeter measurement.

Step 4: Round Up to the Nearest Standard Length

Edge banding strips are typically available in standard lengths, such as 2, 3, or 4 meters. Round up the total length calculated in Step 3 to the nearest standard length. This will ensure you have enough material to complete the job.

Additional Tips

Here are a few additional tips for measuring edging strips for wardrobe furniture:* Use a measuring tape or ruler that is accurate and easy to read.
* Double-check your measurements to prevent any errors.
* Allow for a slight buffer of a few millimeters in the length of the edging strip to ensure a snug fit.
* If you are unsure about the exact measurement, it is better to overestimate the length of the edging strip and trim it down later.

Conclusion

Measuring edging strips for wardrobe furniture requires precision and attention to detail. By following these steps, you can ensure that the edging strips fit perfectly, enhancing the overall look and durability of your wardrobe furniture.
