How to Calculate Required Number of Slats

  1. Determine the width of the divider you want to build.
  2. Determine the distance of the centerpoints of the slats.
  3. Number of Slats = Divider width / distance of centerpoints.

See below for how to determine the the distance of the centerpoints of the slats for FIXERA and ROTERA systems.

FIXERA

The distance of the centerpoints of slats for FIXERA system can be calculated as the thickness of slats (2") plus the spacing that you would like to have between the slats.

ROTERA

The distance of the centerpoints of slats for ROTERA system depends on if you wish to have the overlapping or flat look when the slats are in CLOSED position.

Here we show these two pattern and the distance of centerpoints required for 4" and 5" ROTERA slats.

ROTERA - Overlapping pattern for 4" wide slats.

Centerpoint distance: 4"

Spacing in open position: 2"

ROTERA - Overlapping pattern for 5" wide slats.

Centerpoint distance: 5"

Spacing in open position: 3"

FIXERA - Flat Closed pattern for 4" wide slats.

Centerpoint distance: 4 1/2"

Spacing in open position: 2 1/2"

Spacing in closed position: 1/2"

FIXERA - Flat Closed pattern for 5" wide slats.

Centerpoint distance: 5 1/2"

Spacing in open position: 3 1/2"

Spacing in closed position: 1/2"
