HOW TO MEASURE COUNTERTOPS
To help you to get an idea about your countertop cost here are some tips to measure your countertop. You know what they say about measuring twice! When measuring for your new kitchen countertops, definitely start with a tape measure. You’ll also need a pen, some paper with a “to-scale” drawing and a calculator. The more careful and accurate your measurements are during the estimation process, the fewer surprises there will be when you get to finalizing your countertops project.
Remember that these instructions are just for preliminary estimation purposes. There’s still more measuring work to do for the actual cutting and installation (this part is the responsibility of the granite fabricator who does your project), as you’ll see below. First, assemble your “tools” for taking the measurements :
- Tape measure
- Pen or pencil
- Paper (to-scale notebook recommended)
- Calculator
1 Draw a to-scale diagram of your countertop space on the paper (preferably graphing paper). In the drawing, don’t forget to include the backsplash areas as well. If graph paper is not handy, you can use any plain paper.
2 On your drawing, make sure to include the spaces for your sink, cooktop, bar sink etc. Some home owners think that sink or cooktop areas need to be excluded from the measurement. But it is not true measurement because the sink or cook top cutouts are done in the entire countertop.
3 Use your tape measure to measure the countertop length from wall to wall (in inches), not just from one edge of your current countertop to the other.
4 Write down the length in the appropriate space on your scale drawing or piece paper whichever case may be.
5 Measure this twice, just to make sure it’s accurate!
TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR SPACE FOR THE BEST ACCURACY
1 Try to include both ceiling and floor to your picture.
2 Take pictures from every angle of your spaces.
3 Some detailed zoomed pictures would also help to make a better design.
