How to Measure Rounded Corners on Your Dining Table
Measuring rounded corners can be straightforward with the right approach and tools. All you need is a framing square or a couple of rulers, and a pencil. Follow our step-by-step guide below to achieve precise measurements:
-
Find Your Tools: Place your framing square or ruler flush against the straight edges of the table where they meet at the corner.
-
Identify the Curve's Starting Point: Find the exact point where the straight edge begins to curve into the rounded corner. This point is crucial for accurate measurement.
-
Measure the Curve: From the point where the curve begins, measure to the farthest edge of the table where the curve ends.
-
Confirm Symmetry: Ensure that the distance from the curve's starting point to the edge is the same on both sides. This symmetry is key for determining the radius correctly.
-
Determine the Radius: The measurement you obtain from the starting point to the edge is the radius of the rounded corner. This figure is essential for ordering or creating perfectly fitting table protectors.
- No measure or tools?: If you can find something that "fits" in the corner of your table then you can estimate the size, The radius is always half the diameter of the circle, here is a list of common household items and their approximate radius.
1p coin = 10mm Radius
2p coin = 12.5mm Radius
330ml Metal drink can = 33mm Radius
For example:
By following these steps, you can accurately measure the rounded corners of your dining table, ensuring your table protectors fit perfectly and provide the protection your table deserves. You can have your bespoke made to measure clear protectors cut with rounded corners, or you can have one of our other protectors cut with a rounded corner. We can even cut the thick clear cut to size PVC with rounded corners.
