Crown Radius

How to determine the radius for "Crown" applications

info For "non-crown" applications see: "How to Determine the Radius for Non-Crown applications"

If you are ordering the moulding as "Radiused" (see "What is the application") it means that the moulding will need to be pre-curved during manufacturing to the approximate shape of the curve. Pre-curving to a specified radius does not add any additional cost or time to the order and ensures the best possible fit and finish.

There are 3 basic types of radius applications:

Inside Radius (Concave)

To calculate the radius of a concave wall you will need to know the width and the depth of the curve. Then use the radius calculator

Inside Radius
Outside Radius (Convex)

To calculate the radius of a convex wall:

Run a string line parallel with the wall before the curve and extend it out to a point where it will intersect with a line from the opposite wall.

Measure the width between the strings at the point nearest the wall. Be sure that the distance from the ends of the measuring tape are equal distance from the intersection.

Measure the depth from the point at which the width measurement was taken to the intersection of the two string lines.

Enter the width and depth into the radius calculator



Dormer

To calculate the radius of a dormer you will need to know the width and the rise of the dormer. Then use the radius calculator to calculate the radius.

infoThe radius does not have to be exact. The moulding will flex to fit as long as the calculated radius is within an inch or 2.
