How To Measure For Gym Wall Padding Cutouts
If you are going to install school gym padding on an entire wall, start measuring from the corner to the nearest side of the cutout and from the corner to the far side of the cutout.If you are going to do a custom install with padding on a section of a wall, mark the spot where the padding starts and stops, and measure from the nearest edge of the padding to the cutout and from the nearest edge of the padding to the far side of the cutout.
Always measure from the floor to the bottom of the cutout and from the floor up to the top of the cutout.
A Few Things To Note About Cutouts
- Make sure you provide the exact dimensions to the Greatmats’ team, or, if need be, let the team know if you have adjusted the cutout location at all. Some wiggle room will be added around the cutout for ease of installation and to account for any inconsistency in measurements that were provided. For example, if a typical switch plate is about 2.25 inches wide by 3.25 inches high, the cutouts will be 3 inches by 5 inches. If you already measured and had included a space buffer around the object, please inform your rep so it does not get adjusted any further.
- It is recommended to install your wall padding 3-4 inches above the finished floor. The cutouts will need to be adjusted accordingly. If have already factored in the install height in your measurements, please make note.
- You can always watch videos on YouTube that will give you some hints about measuring for gym wall padding cutouts, too.
