I'm about to redo my flat's kitchen and would like to know how the kitchen countertop's area is calculated. Basically, my current countertop is a 13x2 (26 square tiles) long rectangular configuration. Each square tile as I measured, is exactly 1ft x 1ft, i.e. 1 sq ft.

The part that confuses me are the cut out areas where you put the sink and stove. Will these areas which will eventually be cut out, be still included within a contractor's material cost calculation?

Cut out area is also calculated

Yupz, agree with smartlady. Btw countertop calculations goes by pfr, unless you have extra large size items like kitchen island etc.

They will recommended you by using their calculation method. So no need to worry about this unless you doing it diy.
