How to Measure Your Countertops
EXISTING COUNTERTOPS
Measure each piece of countertop.
1. Along the back edge where the top meets the wall, measure your existing countertop's dimension to determine the total length of each countertop piece. Note: if your countertop is an L shape or U shape you must measure into the corner for each section.
2. Measure the amount of overhang that has been allowed, for each finished end (from the end of the cabinet to the end of the finished end).
3. Measure your existing countertop depth from the back wall to the front edge of your countertop.
4. Measure the amount of overhang from the front of the cabinet doors to the outside front edge of your countertop.
5. Measure the height of the backsplash on your countertop from the deck of your existing countertop to the top of the existing backsplash. Indicate if there is a tile, paint, mirror, or a wallpaper line that needs to be met.
*Important reminder: The depth of kitchen tops and vanity tops will differ. Countertops can be made to specific sizes but there are industry standards. Kitchen counters are a standard size of 25 1/2" overall depth with a backsplash height of 2 7/8". Vanity counters are a standard size of 22 1/2" overall depth with a backsplash height of 3 1/8".
BAR TOPS
1. For bar tops, measure the width (see illustration 27 5/8"), and the total length from the wall to the end of the bar top.
2. Measure the bar top length from the wall to where the arc or curve begins (72" in illustration). The difference will be the size of the arc (75" - 72" = 3" arc).
3. Bar or peninsula tops must be ordered wider than a counter which butts up against a wall, as overhang will be required for the front and the back of the cabinet. Countertops that butt up to a wall at the back will only need to have overhang added for the front of the cabinet. The mitre will be cut to accommodate these different depths.
4. General rule of thumb: calculate the difference in depths between the two tops and add that measurement to the narrower top for an overall size
5. Be aware that the backsplash will stop shorter than the outside edge of the bar top (by the difference in the counter depths). The angled cut on the backsplash will automatically be finished.
Notes: Bar or peninsula counters are a standard size of 27 5/8" but can be custom made to fit a specific size requirement. To measure for diagonal corner counter tops, measure points A and point B and point C and point D (refer to diagram). Remember to measure to the wall, including the depth of the backsplash.
Also ensure that you've measured points 1 to 2, 3 to 4, 5 to 6 and 2 to 7. For counters that meet in the corner, measure the squareness of the walls. At the point where the two walls meet, measure out to 3 feet on one wall and make a mark.
On the opposite wall measure out to 4 feet and make a mark. Then, measure the cross distance between the two wall points. A true 90 degree corner should measure 60" across.
If your measurement is greater or less than 60" please indicate. Indicate where finished ends are required. Finished ends are available in 2 styles: profile and regular, with various options to finish bar or peninsula tops. Refer to the following illustrations to choose the right finished end for your application. End splashes are used exclusively against walls.
NEW COUNTERTOPS
1. Measure the length of the cabinet along the back edge where the cabinet meets the wall. Note: if your cabinet is an L shape or a U shape you must measure into the corner for each section.
2. Indicate where finished ends are required. When the end is open and there is no size restriction, add 3/4" for each finished end. When the counter butts up to an appliance or there is a size restraint, allow 1/4" for an overhang. When this is the case and the top is not shimmed you will need to order the finished end as a profile finished end (refer to the diagram in Existing Countertops - Step 4).
3. When measuring bar or peninsula tops, you will need to take the measurement from the wall to the end of the cabinet. When there is a straight finished end, allow 3/4" past the cabinet. When there is an arc or radius finished end, add the length of the arc or radius to the length of the cabinet. For example, if you wish to include a 3" arc on the end of your bar, you must add 3" to the end of your cabinet.
4. Measure the depth of the cabinet from the back where it meets the wall to the front of the cabinet including the doors. To ensure proper overhang for your counter, you must take the depth of the cabinet including the doors and add 1".
5. Indicate whether the drawers of the cabinet sit flush with the top of the cabinet or drop down from the top of the cabinet. If the drawers sit flush with the top of the cabinet you will need to order the counter with shim.
6. Measure the distance from the top of the cabinet to an existing tile or wallpaper line.
