Measuring Guidelines
When measuring a kitchen for countertop, you may either measure the cabinets
or existing countertop. Always measure the “outside” dimensions (this means
from the back corner of the cabinet or existing top to the other back corner).
Being consistent when measuring all sections helps to reduce any confusion when
the pieces are ordered. Corner cabinets set at an angle present one of the only
situations where an “inside” measurement may be necessary. Note all appliance
locations and exposed countertops ends to ensure that proper end treatments
are ordered. Standard countertops usually overhang the front edge of cabinets by
1-1/4'' to 1-1/2''. Our tops are manufactured to give a 1-5/16'' front overhang to
standard kitchen and vanity cabinets.
Use graph paper on reverse side to draw out your countertop layout.

Whenever 2 pieces of countertop
join together, a miter or seam will be
necessary. If you are making dimension
changes from existing countertops to new
countertops, be sure to consider space
needed to accommodate any extra length
or width added.
