How to Measure

Measure twice, cut once. Accurate measurements are key to a properly built kitchen.

  1. Starting Position – First start by selecting one side or corner to base all measurements from.
  2. Walls – Then measure the length of all walls, leaving room back from the edge of open wall.
    1. Note doors need room to open, so make sure to leave extra room for filler when putting cabinet doors beside walls
  3. Window Size – Measure the width to the outside of the Window Moulding.
    1. Note it is usually good to leave some room between the moulding and the wall cabinets to not feel too tight.
  4. Window Location – Measure from your starting point to both the outer edge of the window moulding and the center of the window. Two measurements are better than one.
  5. Sink Size – Measure the size of your sink, on the inside of the cabinet. Measuring the Size of the current sink base is great for double checking measurement.
  6. Sink Location – Measure from your starting point to the center of the sink, center of the sink should line up with the center of the window. Double check if this is not the case.
    1. Note it is important to know where your pipes are if any changes are made.
  7. Dishwasher – Standard 18”, or 24” wide generally to the left or right of the sink.
  8. Range / Hood Size – Standard 24”, 30”, or 36” wide
  9. Range / Hood Location – Measure from the starting point to the edge and center of the Range / Hood.

  11. Fridge Location – Measure from the starting point to the edge and center of the Fridge. Note any extra filler for space to the wall
  12. Ceiling Height – Measure the Height from the floor to the ceiling in at least two different spots, although three spots are preferred, as ceilings in older buildings can sag down on one side, or another, or even in the center.
  13. Additional measurements – Note any the measurements of any obstructions, including plugs, switches, doors, soffits that might affect the layout.
