Methodology
This calculator uses a practical pass-through model for standard UK doorways and room layouts. It accounts for packaging tolerance by expanding the piece dimensions by a packaging margin (2 cm per dimension) to reflect protected delivery measurements. Doorway checks compare the packaged cross-section (Width x Height) against doorway opening (Width x Height). The tool also considers turning constraints inside the living space by checking if the packaged dimensions fit within the room dimensions, and provides tips for movement and delivery.
Tips for using the calculator
- Measure your actual doorway width and height with the doorframe in the open position when possible.
- Factor in packaging and protective wrapping; this calculator uses an estimated 2 cm packaging margin on all dimensions.
- Consider alternate doorway routes or disassembly (removable legs or panels) for tight fits.
- For stairs and awkward turns, request a pre-delivery survey from your furniture retailer.
