How to calculate the area of custom-made cabinets? An article explaining the calculation methods and precautions in detail
In home decoration, customized cabinets are very popular because of their high space utilization and strong personalization. However, when many consumers customize cabinets, they often have disputes because the area calculation method is not clear. This article will combine the popular decoration topics on the Internet in the past 10 days, systematically analyze the calculation method of customized cabinet area, and attach a structured data comparison to help you understand your consumption.
1. Three common area calculation methods for customized cabinets
| Calculation method | Applicable scenarios | Calculation formula | Advantages and Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Projected area | Regular cabinets such as wardrobes and bookcases | Cabinet width×height | Simple calculation but limited internal structure |
| Expanded area | Complex structure cabinet | The total area of all panels | Accurate but computationally complex |
| Pricing per linear meter | Cabinets and countertops | Base cabinet length × unit price | Attention should be paid to the addition of accessories |
2. Detailed explanation of projection area calculation (taking wardrobe as an example)
1.standard algorithm: Width × height of the cabinet frame, such as 2 meters wide × 2.4 meters high = 4.8㎡
2.Contains items: Usually includes basic partitions and clothes rails, but you need to confirm whether they include:
- Drawers (generally limited to 3)
- Hardware accessories (hinges/slides)
- Door panel molding costs
3.Addition Trap:
- Non-standard height (more than 2.4 meters) may be charged an additional 20%
- Glass doors/special materials are subject to additional charges
3. Things to note when calculating the expanded area
| Board type | thickness | Reference unit price (yuan/㎡) |
|---|---|---|
| particle board | 18mm | 80-150 |
| multilayer solid wood | 15mm | 120-200 |
| OSB | 20mm | 150-280 |
1.Calculation points: The area of each layer board, side board, and back board needs to be measured. The formula is: (length × width) × quantity
2.Advantages: The internal structure can be freely designed, suitable for families with special storage needs.
3.A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls:
- Request merchants to provide CAD expansion drawings
- The thickness of the back plate needs to be clear (usually 5mm or 9mm)
- Whether the cost of edge banding strip is calculated separately?
4. Latest quotation reference in 2023 (sampling of 10 major cities)
| City | Average price of projection area (yuan/㎡) | Average price of expanded area (yuan/㎡) |
|---|---|---|
| Beijing | 800-1500 | 180-350 |
| Shanghai | 850-1600 | 200-380 |
| Guangzhou | 750-1300 | 160-320 |
5. Answers to high-frequency consumer questions
1.Q: How to calculate the corner wardrobe?
A: Calculated based on the projection of the longest side, or the sum of the two sides of the L shape minus the repeated part
2.Q: How is open bookshelf priced?
A: It is more cost-effective to choose the expanded area without door panels.
3.Q: What should I pay attention to when measuring?
A: It needs to be measured after the floor is laid, paying attention to the inclination of the wall (if the error exceeds 5mm, it needs to be leveled)
Conclusion:It is recommended that when signing a contract, the calculation method, included items and charging standards for additional items should be clearly stated. Recently, popular complaints have focused on the issue of "adding items after attracting traffic at low prices". Consumers can ask merchants to provide itemized quotations for comparison. Through the structured data comparison in this article, I believe you can choose a suitable calculation method more rationally.
