Calculate countertop square footage from section length and depth for stone, quartz, laminate and material quotes.
Measure each straight countertop section as its own rectangle and add the results. Islands, peninsulas and backsplashes should be measured separately if they are part of the material quote.
Section length \u00d7 depth = square footageA countertop section 10 ft long and 2 ft deep is 20 sq ft.
Usually not for material-ordering purposes because the countertop piece is fabricated from material that covers the full section before the sink opening is cut.
Split the L shape into two rectangles, calculate each area and make sure the overlapping corner is not counted twice.
Only if you measure and add them separately. A backsplash uses additional material even when it matches the countertop.
Not by itself. Slab dimensions, veining direction, seams and cut layout determine how many full slabs are required.
