Why dont my tops fit the walls perfectly, even though I had my cabinets scribed?
Keep in mind that countertops are built in straight lines (front edges and backsplashes). They can be built at angles and out of square, but still must be in straight lines. Many walls do not follow the same rules as 2x4s twist, making walls wavy. On walls that wave there are several options. Tops with no splash, loose splash, or backsplashes with double scribe would be best for these applications. L-shape and U-shape tops are typically measured for out of square corners using “3-4-5” measurements. Using these methods countertops should fit the walls, but most tops will still need to be scribed.
