Measuring kitchen countertops is more than simply measuring and cutting. It’s about precision and accuracy to the nearest fraction, decimal point, feet, or inch. Quartz countertops and granite countertops are expensive, and an incorrect measurement makes the entire slab useless.
Even for economical options like laminate and engineered stone countertops, starting over with countertop measurements because of a preventable mistake is costly. Save the budget from additional costs and use the countertop’s most accurate measurement on the first try. Learn how to measure kitchen countertops by gathering the right materials, measuring in the right directions, and considering layout and components.
