Plan Your 10 x 10 Kitchen Renovation
When considering renovating your kitchen, price is a significant factor in deciding which cabinets you’ll use in your plans. As you start to investigate pricing, you’ll find store flyers advertising 10×10 or 12×12 kitchen layouts. No, this doesn’t mean you need to have a square kitchen to buy those cabinets. This is the example of how kitchen cabinet runs are measured, in this example, 10 linear feet by 10 linear feet.
What Is A Linear Foot In Measurement?
A linear foot, also called a lineal foot, means 12 inches or one foot in length. All straight line measurements are referred to as a linear foot in the kitchen cabinet industry.
You don’t need to have a square kitchen to estimate your layout our your cost based on a 10×10 foot cabinet package. The 10×10 foot standard serves as a handy tool when considering kitchen cabinet costs from different remodeling contractors and cabinet manufacturers. Usually, a space with 100 square feet is big enough for all major appliances and services. However, due to the floor space being a relatively small area, it doesn’t factor into the estimate.
What is a 10-Foot Run Kitchen?
A 10–foot run is a one-wall shaped kitchen that is 10 linear foot long used as the industry standard. The price varies based on your design requests but gives you a general idea of how to approximate costs for a basic kitchen and how many cabinets you might need.
