Thread: Wainscoting Layout Calculator

Someone asked me about a wainscoting calculator (I'd hardly ever heard of it) so I made one. You may get some use out of it.

Wainscoting Calculator

It works out all the panel and stile spacing options, with full dimensions and running set-out measurements.
There's a true scaled live diagram, so as you adjust panel and stile sizes and position wit the slider controls, you can see the result instantly (animated).
You can also add electrical outlets and wall openings (windows) to make sure they miss stiles, and add people to the diagram for visual perspective.
When you get a wall as you want it, add it to the list for a layout sheet with quantities.
Play around with the sliders to see all the possible panel size and spacing options in the diagram.
