Perimeter Panel Cabinet Base Height Calculation
Perimeter Panel Cabinet Base Height Calculation
C
= Cabinet Base Height -
.875”
B
= Bas Finish Floor Height*
G
= Baseboard Gap (min 0.5”)
B
= Cabinet Base Size
(Min 5", increases in 1" increments)
B = B + G + 0.875”
Note: *Include flooring thickness, underlayment, and any
concrete leveling as part of calculation.
Example:
If using a 5" baseboard, with 1” Flooring height, and 0.5" gap
B = (5” + 1”) + (0.5) + 0.875” = 7.375"
Hence an 8" Cabinet Base is required
