Measuring Cabinets

Follow the steps below to accurately measure your space

            All measurements should be taken in INCHES

STEP 1. Measure ALL Walls that have/will have cabinets on them, Wall to Wall.

STEP 2. If there are any doors and/or windows in the areas where cabinet are going measure from outside of molding to outside of molding width and height.

STEP 3. Measure from the any corner to the beginning of the casing on any door or window.

STEP 4. Return to the corner and measure to the center of any water lines, water drains, gas lines, electrical outlets or electrical switches. You will need to pull appliances away from the wall if in the way.

STEP 5. Note the overall height of each door, including molding.

STEP 6. Note the measurement from the bottom of the windowsill to the floor below each window.

STEP 7. Note the measurement from the bottom of the windowsill to the top of the molding of each window.

STEP 8. Note the measurement from the top of each window to the ceiling.

STEP 9. Measure the overall floor to ceiling height, accounting for soffits and beams.

STEP 10. Repeat Steps 1 through 10 for each wall of the room.

STEP 11. Measure all existing appliances that will be reused in your new kitchen. If new appliances will be used, it is best to get the manufacturer’s specifications prior to designing your new kitchen.

STEP 13. As an added measure of caution, it is recommended that you measure the inside width of all entry doors and door ways to check that existing cabinets and appliances can be removed, but especially that all new cabinets, appliances and counter tops can be brought in without onsite modifications.
