How to Make Countertop to Cabinet Height Conversions

Countertop to cabinet height conversion is a process that can be completed in a variety of ways. Some of the options are described below.

First, you may decide to rebuild the cabinets that your existing kitchen cabinets come in. This option is inexpensive, and it does not require any welding. The new countertops can be installed from the floor up. You will just have to measure the height of your existing cabinets to make sure that you do not exceed the ceiling height.

Second, you may decide to replace your cabinets with another style of kitchen cabinetry. With this option, you will need to measure the new height of your cabinets. You may also need to take into account the diameter of the doors to make sure that you get the proper height.

Third, you can use the same countertop style as you have now, but add a bit of height in the short run. If you want to avoid spending for more cabinets, then this is a good option.

Fourth, you can take a special measurement and find a manufacturer that specializes in doing this type of work. They will be able to do a rapid layout of the countertop to cabinet height and then have the right countertop delivered to your home. You will pay a little more money than if you use a standard supplier, but you will also get a better end result.

Fifth, you can order a custom countertop that has different heights and depths. If you know the measurements of the plumbing pipes or other things that will make up the walls of your kitchen, you can order a countertop with those measurements on it.

Sixth, you can choose a style of kitchen cabinetry that uses offset countertops, or you can match the countertops that you already have. For instance, you may choose a red and white kitchen cabinetry set with offset shelves.

Seventh, you can combine two styles of countertops. For instance, you can go with an oak countertop with a cherry backsplash.

Eighth, you can select a top that is specially designed for standard cabinets. Many manufacturers offer this option, as well as a free installation and an optional warranty.

The fifth option is to reuse the same style of cabinets that you currently have. If you are willing to tear them down and rebuild them from scratch, this can be an inexpensive option. The instructions for the rest of the project will be available when you select this option.

Ninth, you can choose to add new counters in a way that allows you to keep the space between the countertops where you will install your cabinets. Most cabinets will come with a space between the top of the cabinets and the top of the countertop, so you do not have to worry about adding an extra inch here.

If you have already built a new kitchen, you may not have extra countertop to make room for a cabinet. In this case, a one-piece kitchen cabinet kit can be the answer.
