Atlanta Granite Countertops Pros, Premier Surfaces, Share How to Measure Square Footage of Slab

    NORCROSS, GA, July 29, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Granite is a wise investment that will increase the value of your home. It will provide years of beauty and durability in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas, such as fireplaces. Premier Surfaces, one of the top sellers of granite countertops in Atlanta, Georgia, notes that it is essential to accurately measure your surfaces before you choose your stone. Granite and other quality stone is not inexpensive, so you do not want to order too much. On the other hand, if you order too little, you will end up having to order additional material, wasting time and money.

How to Measure Surfaces

While a bit of waste is built into the order, you still need to measure your surfaces precisely to ensure that you order the amount of granite they need. If you are getting different types of stone for multiple areas, measure each area separately. Here are the steps:

- Measure the length of all countertops or other surfaces. Don't forget to include the edges as well as any islands, bar tops, peninsulas, and backsplashes. Record your measurements in inches.

- Multiply the total length by the total width of the surface, to get the area in square inches.

- Divide the total number of square inches by 144 to convert square inches to square feet. That is the figure you will need when you select your granite.

Bring the measurements with you when you select the slab. Premier Surfaces customers shopping for granite in Alabama or their other showrooms in Atlanta and Chattanooga can choose the precise slab from which their countertops and other surfaces will be crafted.

Dara Summers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Premier Surfaces, says, "We want to help ensure that our customers are ordering the correct amount of stone. That is why we encourage them to call the experts in one of our showrooms if they have any questions when measuring their surfaces. They will be happy to help."
