What do the measurements on a cove molding mean?

[kalubah]

If a concave moulding has dimensions 15x43, what do those dimensions mean? Is 43 the diagonal between the outermost points, or is it how much it covers on the ceiling and wall, respectively? What, then, is 15?

Perfect. Had a feeling that was the case. Thanks!

Finally, I found this post that describes the dimensions of the list. Träguiden has rearranged its pages, but the information is still available.

However, they could be a bit more pedagogical with the a and b measurements

The sketch with dimensions a and b now allows me to understand what "15x43" indicates.

In my case, however, it is the catheters (length from the inner corner) that are of interest. That is, how far the molding goes onto the wall and ceiling respectively. For molding '43' it should be about 3 cm.

Why is the b-measurement mentioned first? Or, it is smaller than the a-measurement and is usually listed first, no one says four-by-two for a two-by-four, but why is the smallest measurement on a molding strip called "b"?

The measurements probably reflect the dimensions of the raw material from which the strip is planed(?)
That is, it is a measurement system adapted for manufacturing and perhaps pricing rather than for the end user.

Maybe it's just my OCD or something but I think they could write a x b => 43 x 15, since a = 43 not 15.


Not worse than that!

Take back everything I've said
