How Do You Estimate The Cost Of Copper Countertops?
The polished golden brown look of copper gives kitchens a warm cozy feeling. Overtime the color of copper darkens and develops a greenish hue as it oxidizes. This provides a rustic, aged look to kitchens. This beauty comes at a cost… copper is one of the most expensive materials that you can choose. Following the steps in this article you’ll learn how to estimate the cost of copper countertops for your home. First, measure the length of the counter in inches. Be sure to measure to the wall and not to the backsplash for an accurate measurement. For example, we will use a length of 144 inches. Next, measure the width of counters in inches. Be sure to include in your measurement the overhang that extends beyond the base cabinet. For example, we will use a width of 25 ½ inches. Next, multiply the width times the length to get the number of square inches. For example, 144 x 25.5 = 3,672 square inches. Next, divide the total number of square inches by 144 to get the number of square feet.
