If looking at your kitchen countertop and trying to measure it is giving you a headache, stress not. In today’s post, we’re going to explore how to get your own kitchen countertop measured. Let’s get started.
How to Measure a Kitchen Countertop
Before you can begin measuring a kitchen countertop, you have to assess the type of countertop you currently have. For instance, you may own an L-shaped countertop or a U-shaped one. As the names tell you, each of these countertops is shaped like the respective letter of the alphabet.
An L-shaped countertop is the simpler of the two. Installation of these countertops often involves welding or otherwise attaching two pieces together into one countertop. A U-shaped countertop will have three pieces, the longer countertop piece and the two smaller pieces that comprise the familiar U.
Let’s continue with the U-shaped countertop as our example. As we said, it has three pieces. The long piece, we’ll call side C. The “legs” or identical sides attached to side C are side A and side B. Both those sides should have the same measurements. Side C will have different measurements, with an entirely longer length than each of the other two sides.
Here are some pointers as you measure a U-shaped countertop. For starters, the length of the smaller parts (the top of the U shape, so the tops of sides A and B and the sides of C) should be the same. Also, if you take the measurements of sides A or B, they should be half the length of side C.
If your side C had a length of 125 inches, for example, then side A and side B should each be 62.5 inches long.
Once you measure the width and length for each part of your U-shaped countertop, add the measurements. If side B measures 62.5 inches tall and 25 inches wide, then you get 1,562.5 inches. Do that for side A and side C as well. Then add it all up.
Next, you want to take that number and translate it to square feet. If you get an odd number, push it up so it’s even.
