How do I measure the wall to ensure that the Real wood slat panel is suitable?

As the manufacturer of Real wood slat panels, we understand that taking the correct measurements is a critical step in ensuring a great installation. Measuring the wall accurately before starting the installation can help you choose the right panel size and avoid unnecessary rework and waste. Here are some practical measuring steps and tips to ensure your 3 Sides Veneer Wood Slat Panel fits perfectly.

 1. Prepare your tools

Before you start measuring, you need to prepare some basic tools, including a tape measure, pencil, level and a right angle ruler. These tools will help you make accurate measurements and markings.

 2. Measuring wall height

Firstly, measure the height of the wall from floor to ceiling. Be sure to take measurements at multiple locations, as the wall may not be perfectly straight. Record the maximum and minimum height values so that adjustments can be made during installation.

 3. Measure the width of the wall

Next, measure the width of the wall. As with the height measurement, it is a good idea to take several measurements at the top, centre and bottom of the wall to ensure that you get an accurate width. Record this data and take the maximum value for installation reference.

 4. Confirm the condition of the wall

During the measurement process, it is also necessary to check the condition of the wall. Ensure that the wall is dry, flat and free of visible depressions or protrusions. If there are problems with the wall surface, it may need to be repaired prior to installation to ensure that the Real Wood Slat Panel will fit securely.

 5. Mark Installation Lines

Use a level to mark the installation lines on the wall. You can choose to start at the bottom or at the top to make sure the lines are level. Use a pencil to lightly mark the lines so they will be visible during installation.

 6. Calculate the number of panels

Based on the measured height and width of the wall, calculate the number of wood slat panels needed. The size of each panel should match the dimensions of the wall you have recorded. Always consider the spacing between panels and how they will be installed to ensure accurate calculations.

 7. Consider electrical outlets and switches

When taking measurements, don't overlook power outlets and switches on the wall. Ensure that these elements are properly considered when designing the layout so that the integrity of the panels is not compromised during installation. Measure and record these locations so that they can be cut out during installation.

 8. Record and review

Finally, record all measurements on paper and review them. Make sure that no important dimensions or details have been missed. Accurate measurements will provide a solid foundation for subsequent installations.
