How to measure kitchen countertop dimension?

New counters can breathe life into a tired kitchen even if you can't afford new kitchen cabinets, but be sure you know how to measure kitchen countertop dimensions before you begin the remodeling project. Measurements must be exact for the installation to look professional and for your kitchen to function.

If you feel unsure about measuring for your countertops, Elite can do the job or we will teach you how to measure kitchen countertops to get the measurements before the counters are ordered. It is important to have correct measurements before the counters are ordered. When measuring your kitchen counter, it is important to measure both the back and front edge of the counter because they may not be the same.

To start, be sure to measure from wall to wall. Don't just measure your old counter. Make a simple diagram of the counter layout and transfer your measurements to it. 

Measure twice–-you know the adage, "Measure twice, cut once." If your countertop angles at 90 degrees, you'll have to take measurements from both directions to the meeting point.

Sink Measurements - If you decide to replace your kitchen sink along with the countertop, it is important to have the new sink there when measurements are taken. Sinks come in various sizes, and you'll want to be sure it can work with your new look. If the wrong size hole is cut into your counter, it is destroyed and that large section will need to be replaced.

Backsplash - Be sure to measure your backsplash, too. Again, these come in different sizes and if your new counter has a 3-inch backsplash and your old counter had a 4-inch backsplash, the difference will add extra work and expense.

If you look over how to measure kitchen countertop dimensions and decide you do not want to risk a poor fitting countertop or a mistake that is going to cost you more money, consider doing the work you can do and then have Elite come and measure for your new counter.
