Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my measurements to square feet?
Measure length and depth in inches, multiply them for square inches, then divide by 144, because one square foot is 144 square inches. A 96 by 25.5 inch counter is 2,448 square inches, or 17 square feet.
What depth should I use for a standard counter?
Standard base cabinets are 24 inches deep, and the finished countertop usually overhangs to about 25.5 inches at the front, which is the default here. Island and peninsula depths vary, so measure yours.
How much waste should I add?
A 10 percent allowance is a common starting point. It covers seams, sink and cooktop cutouts, edge polishing, and the odd bad cut. Complex layouts with many corners or a patterned stone may need more.
What is finished edge length and why does it matter?
It is the total run of exposed edge that gets polished or profiled, measured in linear feet. Fabricators often price edge work per linear foot, so this number helps you budget. It counts the counter front and two sides plus the full island perimeter.
Does the estimate include the backsplash slab area?
Yes, when you enter a backsplash height. The area is the main counter length times that height, divided by 144. Set the height to 0 if you are using tile or no backsplash at all.
