How to Measure Countertops

L Shape Counter Top

To Measure Section A:

Take the wall dimension of Section A & minus the depth of Section B
125" – 25 " = 100"

Take this number & multiply by the depth of Section A
100" x 25" = 2500 sq. in.

Divide this number by 144
2500 ¸ 144 = 17.36 sq. ft.

To Measure Section B:

Take the wall dimension of Section B & multiply
by the depth of Section B
60" x 25 " = 1500 sq. in.

Divide this number by 144
1500 ¸ 144 = 10.41 sq ft.

Add the total of Section A & Section B & round to the nearest ¼ sq. ft.
17.36 + 10.41 = 27.77 sq. ft. / The total counter top is 28 sq. ft.

Angled Island Top

To Measure Section A:

Take the length of Section A & multiply by the depth of Section A
72" x 30" = 2160 sq. in.

Divide this number by 144
2160 ¸ 144 = 15.0 sq. ft.

To Measure Section B:

Take the length of Section B & multiply by the depth of Section B
54" x 30" = 1620 sq. in.

Divide this number by 144
1620 ¸ 144 = 11.25 sq. ft.

Add the total of Section A & Section B & round to the nearest ¼ sq. ft.
15.0 + 11.25 = 26.25 sq. ft. / The total counter top is 26 ¼" sq. ft.

 

Rectangular Island Top 

Take the length of the top & multiply by the depth
75" x 36" = 2700 sq. in.

Take this number & divide by 144
2700 ¸ 144 = 18.75 sq. ft.

  • Allow for overhang on any exposed end. 
  • 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.
  • When ordering a U shaped countertop to fit between walls please be sure to allow room to slide the countertop in place, typically 1/4".
