Take measurements of your own countertops! Here's how:
1. Print out grid paper.
2. Print out measuring template.
3. Measure the length of your existing countertops in inches.
To measure the length of one section of countertops, run a measuring tape flush along the back edge of the section from one end to the other end. The beginning and end of a section is marked by a wall, edge of a cabinet, or an appliance. Add 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) to the length, and round the measurement to the nearest 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm). Record this measurement on your diagram or a separate sheet of paper. Repeat this process until you have measured the length of each section of your countertops.
- Do not stop measuring when you reach a sink, but continue to measure beyond the sink until you reach the end of a cabinet, appliance, or a wall.
- If you have an L-shaped countertop, measure the long side first, followed by the short side from the back edge. Add the total measurements together to treat it like one countertop.
4. Measure the width of your existing countertops in inches.
Use a measuring tape to measure the width of each section of countertop. Run the measuring tape from the back of the countertop to its finished front edge. Round the measurement to the nearest 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) and record this measurement on your diagram or a separate sheet of paper. Repeat this process until you have measured the width of each section of countertop.
- If you have a backsplash, account for its dimensions in your final measurement.
5. Snap some pictures.
