How to Measure for Wall Padding | Pads
Measuring for wall padding can be done in a few simple steps.
1. First, draw a simple diagram of the area to be padded and write in the following measurements.
2. Indicate the wall you are measuring and its full length on the drawing, i.e. “West wall—58 ft. long” (fig. A).
3. Determine the finish height of your wall padding. Wall padding typically starts 4 to 6 inches from the floor, and standard wall pad height is 6-feet. Measure from the baseboard/mopboard up the wall and strike a horizontal chalk line along the wall. This will indicate the top of the pads.
4. Establish where you want the center of the pads to be. The center point for the padding isn't always the center of the entire wall. Mark the center point with a Sharpie or piece of tape on the wall. Then measure outward from the center point to the farthest landmarks on both sides (fig. B), stopping where you want the padding to end. A landmark can be a door, a window, a column, or even the farthest wall. Leave your mark at the center point for reference on installation day.
5. If padding is interrupted and continues beyond a landmark, like a door or column, measure from the opposite side of the landmark to where the padding will end (fig. C).
6. Use the top of the baseboard/mopboard as your mounting point for the pads (fig. D). Begin all vertical measurements from this point. If there is no baseboard, measure from the floor, but remember to provide the height from the floor to where the pads will be mounted, typically 4 to 6-inches from the floor (fig. E).
7. Provide horizontal measurements from the same landmark and side of the room to everywhere the padding stops along wall.
8. Provide horizontal and vertical measurements from the mounting point up, and from the same landmark and side of the room to every object that requires a cut-out (or hole in the pads): vents, light switches, outlets, microphone jacks, fire extinguisher cabinets, water fountains, windows, doors, etc. See below for how to measure for cut-outs.
9. Provide the manufacturer with a digital photo of the entire wall, along with your diagram and measurements. The photo will capture any objects that might have been overlooked.
Tip: A typical basketball key is 144” wide, so wall padding behind a basket ball hoop, you can measure 72” from the edge of the key to find the center point.
How to Measure for Cut-Outs in Wall Pads / Padding
1. Provide horizontal and vertical measurements from the mounting point up, and from the same landmark and side of the room to every object that would require a cut-out (or hole in the pads): vents, light switches, outlets, microphone jacks, fire extinguisher cabinets, water fountains, windows, doors, etc.
a. Measure from the mounting point to the bottom of the object (fig. F)
b. From the mounting point to the top of the object (fig. G)
c. From the closest landmark to the closest side of the object (fig. H)
d. From the closest landmark to the farthest side of the object (fig. I)
e. Measure between objects (fig. K)
f. Measure from the farthest side of objects to the farthest landmark (fig. L)
2. In addition, measure the height and width of every cut-out: vents, switches, junction boxes, etc. (fig. J).
3. Provide a digital photo of the entire wall, along with your diagram and measurements.
Note: Standard wall pad height is 6-feet. Custom sizes are available.
