How to measure a floor-to-ceiling whiteboard wall?
Accurate and error-free measuring
Measuring a floor-to-ceiling whiteboard wall is essential to ensure a perfect fit. It also helps identify any challenges in the space, such as uneven walls, obstacles, or cut‑outs.
1. The right tools & measuring form
For the most accurate result, use a laser distance meter. This gives much more precise dimensions than a tape measure. Also use the measuring form to record all measurements, remarks, and cut‑outs immediately.
2. Measure the height
Measure the wall from floor to ceiling at multiple points. Subtract 20 mm from the height, this small margin ensures your floor-to-ceiling whiteboard wall will fit perfectly even if the wall is not entirely straight. Note the shortest measured height, including the 20 mm deduction, on the measuring form.
3. Measure the width
Measure the wall from left to right at several locations. Subtract 20 mm from the width, this small margin guarantees the floor-to-ceiling whiteboard wall will fit perfectly even if the wall is slightly uneven. Note the shortest measured width, including the 20 mm deduction, on the measuring form.
4. Determine the size of the whiteboard wall
The dimensions that remain become the size of the floor-to-ceiling whiteboard wall you will order or install. That way you can be sure everything fits neatly.
5. Record cut‑outs and take photographs
Note any functional cut‑outs such as power outlets, switches, or ventilation grilles in the measuring form. Provide more dimensions rather than too few. For example, for a circular cut‑out, supply the distance to the centre of the circle. Also take as many relevant photographs of the situation as possible and send these along. This helps us to better plan for the perfect fit and finishing.
Check and submit the measurement form
