HOW TO MEASURE YOUR KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS

Precision is key when measuring for your new countertops, bathroom vanity, or any project you are planning. Measuring your kitchen or bathroom vanity accurately is a vital first step in planning for your new granite or quartz tops. When you work with the professional team at CSW, it’s helpful to have accurate measurements of any space you plan to renovate. Since kitchens are the most popular place to focus home renovations, here are some tips on how to create a handy homemade set of measurements. You can use this process in the same manner for your kitchen island or bathroom vanity.


Cash and Carry Granite, Quartz or Quartzite Project Steps:

  1. Bring us your exact dimensions/specifications for your project.
  2. Select your favorite stone from our huge inventory of full and partial slabs.
  3. Choose your sink and/or faucet, (if needed) from our stock inventory.
  4. Your granite, quartz, quartzite, or marble top is ready in just A FEW DAYS!
  • Precisely cut to your exact dimensions (+/- 1/8") on our Robotic CNC machines
  • Finished with our Eased Edge
  • Undermount sink holes cut and polished.
  • Vanity bowls mounted to tops if needed (nominal fee)



Tools You'll Need To Measure Your Countertop

  • Gridded paper. Lined notebook paper will also work if you do not have access to graphing paper.
  • A pencil (preferable to a pen so errors can be erased).
  • A standard, 25-foot tape measure, or laser measure if you have one available to you.
  • A camera (a smartphone camera is ideal so that you can bring your photos when you meet with our team.)

  • STEP 1: SKETCH YOUR KITCHEN

    1. On gridded paper (it’s easier) sketch out an outline of your kitchen. It doesn’t need to be to scale.
    2. Add the general location of any windows, doorways, columns, etc.
    3. Add the general location of your sink and appliances.

  • STEP 2: MEASURE YOUR COUNTERTOP

    1. Using your tape measure, find the measurements of your existing countertops.
    2. Start with the length, from one end of the countertop to the other, then move on to the width and measure from the wall to the outer edge of the surface.
    3. Record these measurements and include them in the sketch of your kitchen.

  • STEP 3: MEASURE THE KITCHEN WALLS

    1. With the use of a laser measure or a good, old-fashioned measuring tape, measure the length of all walls.
    2. If there are any obstructions, like a fireplace, include that in the overall wall length as well. Indicate those dimensions on your plan.

  • STEP 4: MEASURE THE HEIGHT OF YOUR KITCHEN

    1. Measure the height of your room and include any soffits (the parts of the ceiling that drop down, often above a cabinet). 
    2. Also measure the height of any soffits from both the ceiling and the floor.

  • STEP 5: MEASURE THE WINDOWS AND DOORS IN YOUR KITCHEN

    1. Now, measure windows and doors from the outside edge of the trim on one side to the outside edge of the trim on the other.
    2. Measure the height of the doors and windows, from the floor to the top of the trim.
    3. Measure from the nearest corner to the center of each window and door. Note all these measurements on your sketch.

  • STEP 6: LOCATE YOUR KITCHEN UTILITIES

    1. Locate any utilities, like water supply and drain lines, electrical outlets, and HVAC vents.
    2. If you can’t see the gas line, just measure to the center of the range. Add these locations to your plan.

  • STEP 7: TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR KITCHEN

    1. Finally, take some pictures of the space, including views of all the walls.
    2. Bring all this information with you when meeting with the experts at CSW. We will be able to guide you through the decision-making process.

  • STEP 8: MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET WITH A PROFESSIONAL AT CSW

    1. Don’t forget your measurements drawing and photos of your space.
    2. Choose your stone from our large assortment of full-size slabs and remnants.
    3. If a sink and faucet are needed for your project, we carry many of the most popular brands. We will need to confirm sink size and faucet hole placement for your project.

  • STEP 9: Arrange for pick-up of your custom stone project

    1. You will be notified when your stone tops are ready for pickup.
