Metric Wainscoting Calculator — Easy DIY Wall Panel Planning in cm

Welcome to the Metric Wainscoting Calculator — the simplest tool for planning and measuring wainscoting panels and picture frame molding using centimeters and millimeters. Whether you’re installing decorative wall panels, shadow box wainscoting, or picture frame molding, this calculator helps you quickly find the right panel widths and spacing for your wall.

Use this tool to:

• Calculate how wide each wainscoting frame will be in cm

• Evenly space panels on walls of any length

• Plan your DIY wainscoting layout with confidence

What Is Wainscoting?

Lambris is a decorative wall trim that covers the lower part of a wall to add character and protection. It commonly uses evenly spaced panels, rails, et stiles to create a polished wall finish. Designs include recessed panels, shadow box/molding frames, beadboard, and board and batten styles.

Why Use a Metric Wainscoting Calculator?

Most wainscoting plans and calculators online use imperial units (inches and feet). That can make planning a metric DIY project tricky — especially when you want dimensions you can use directly with a tape measure in cm ou mm. This calculator was built for metric builders and makers who want accurate, intuitive results in the units they’re actually using.

How the Metric Wainscoting Calculator Works

1. Enter Wall Width in cm — the total horizontal length of the wall where you want wainscoting.
2. Enter Spacing Between Frames (Stiles) — this is the vertical divider spacing between each panel, measured in cm.
3. Enter Number of Wainscoting Frames — how many individual picture frame panels you want across your wall.
4. Calculator Output — shows the width of each panel so that the frames are evenly spaced and balanced across your wall.

   This helps you eliminate guesswork and avoid uneven panel widths.

Tips for Measuring and Planning Your Wainscoting

• Measure Carefully: Always measure wall width in centimeters from one edge to the other. Include corners and baseboard if you’re framing around obstacles.

• Choose Your Panel Style: Decide whether you’re using simple picture frame molding, recessed panels, or board and batten — each affects how you calculate spacing.

• Consistent Height: Standard wainscoting height is often around ~80 to ~100 cm from the floor, but you can adjust this based on ceiling height and design preference.

• Spacing Matters: Equal panel widths with consistent spacing create a balanced look, so use the calculator to test different frame counts until the layout looks right.

Common Questions

Can I use this for board and batten style?

How do I choose the right spacing (stile width)?

Do I need to convert anything?

No — enter and receive results in metric units so they’re ready for your tape measure and workshop use.
