To accurately measure an under sink unit, you will need to take precise measurements of the available space. Here's how to do it correctly:
Measuring Your Under Sink Space
- Gather Your Tools: You'll need a tape measure to get accurate measurements.
- Measure Width: Use the tape measure to find the width of the space inside your under-sink cabinet. Measure from one inside wall to the other. Record this measurement.
- Measure Depth: Measure the depth from the back of the cabinet to the inside edge of the cabinet opening. Note: Most bathroom cabinets are approximately 20 inches deep, so pay special attention to this measurement if you're buying organizers.
- Measure Height: Measure the height from the floor of the cabinet up to the lowest point of the cabinet top, taking into account any obstructions like pipes.
- Measure Door Opening: Measure the actual cabinet door opening. This ensures that any organizers you purchase will fit through the opening.
Organizing Your Measurements
It is helpful to record these measurements, so you have them handy. Here is an example table:
| Measurement | Example Value |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Width | 30 inches |
| Cabinet Depth | 20 inches |
| Cabinet Height | 18 inches |
| Door Opening Width | 28 inches |
By following these steps, you will be able to accurately measure your under sink unit. This will help you ensure that any organizers or storage solutions will fit correctly. This is important because most bathroom cabinets are around 20'' deep, therefore any organizers must be able to fit in the space.
