Measuring

We serve customers all over Estonia, including on the islands. In Norway, we provide measurement, technical drawing and installation services in Oslo and the surrounding area, within a radius of approximately 220 km from Oslo.

We measure the following worktops to the nearest millimetre:

• kitchen worktops
• kitchen backsplashes
• wall panels
• living room or dining room tables
• bathroom worktops
• fireplace mantels
• window sills
• stair treads
• outdoor kitchen worktops
• service counters
• reception desks
• hotel reception and lobby areas
• restaurant and bar counters
• worktops in office coffee and break areas

We recommend professional measurement for every stone worktop, including a simple rectangular kitchen island. Alongside length and width, the sink and hob cut-outs, tap and other holes, joints and overhangs relative to the cabinets and doors must all be positioned accurately. This ensures that each element is correctly placed and the intended overhangs are consistent.

You can use a tape measure to take initial dimensions for a quotation. For production drawings, we also consider the actual wall shapes and angles, cabinet positions, appliance installation instructions and required supports. We measure with Prodim Proliner and use the data to prepare technical CAD drawings.

Book measurement before the worktop is produced, once the cabinets, side panels and cover panels are in their final positions, secured and level. We agree the design with you or your representative and take responsibility for the accuracy of our measurements and drawings.

We perform measuring in any location required, whether indoors or outdoors, and in both high or confined spaces. Please provide the measurer with unhindered access to the object and a safe working environment.

Yes. We measure the actual shape of the wall and its corners, including walls that are not straight and angles that are not 90 degrees. The measurement allows the back edge of the worktop to be made to follow the wall, so it fits as closely as possible.

A rigid stone backsplash or upstand cannot be bent to follow an uneven wall. Gaps may therefore remain between it and the wall, for example along the upper edge. The appropriate solution depends on the unevenness and the desired finish and must be agreed before production.

If the wall needs straightening, complete this before measurement. Afterwards, do not alter any wall shape that affects the dimensions of the worktop or backsplash.

To book a measurement, contact us by email, phone or the contact form. Please provide the site address, your contact details, the type of worktop and your preferred measurement date. If available, attach a kitchen plan or photos and let us know whether the cabinets and appliances are ready.

What information do we need before the measurer arrives?

Please send us a drawing if available and have the following information ready. Please give all dimensions in millimetres.

• Material and thickness: the exact material name and worktop thickness.
• Backsplash or upstand: whether one is required, its location, height and thickness.
• Overhangs: the desired overhang at the front and ends of the cabinets and at any breakfast bar or seating area. State whether dimensions are measured from the cabinet carcass or the outer face of the doors and drawer fronts.
• Waterfall side: whether one is required, its location and whether the joint should be 90° or 45°.
• Sink: the exact model, position and installation method – top-mounted, flush-mounted, undermounted or recessed undermounted.
• Hob: the exact model, position and installation method – top-mounted or flush-mounted. Include details of any integrated extractor.
• Tap: the model or required hole diameter and the desired position.
• Other holes and cut-outs: for example, a soap dispenser, sink waste-control button or socket. Include the model or hole diameter and the desired position.
• Edge profiles and joints: mark all edges that will be visible, their desired finish and the preferred joint positions.
• Silicone joints: whether you want a joint between the worktop and the wall and along the upper edge of the backsplash or upstand. Include the planned wall finish.
• Other requests: special designs, additional work and information about access or lifting assistance.

The sink, hob and other integrated accessories should be on site for measurement. If this is not possible, send exact model details and the necessary technical drawings or installation instructions before the visit. If any choices are still open, tell us when booking so we can clarify what must be decided before measurement.

Appointments and site readiness

We recommend contacting us about one week before your preferred date. We will agree the scope of the service and confirm the appointment with you. If you are ordering through a kitchen studio or manufacturer, arrange the measurement with them or agree with them that you will contact us directly.

Changes or cancellations must be notified by 12:00 noon on the preceding working day. Later notification means the service is charged in full according to the current price list.

The agreed arrival time is approximate. Please allow for arrival up to 1 hour earlier or 2 hours later than agreed and ensure access throughout this window. Arrival depends on earlier jobs, logistics and traffic. Where possible, we will advise you of a more precise arrival time.

If the site is not ready or access is unavailable at the agreed time and the work cannot be carried out, the service is charged in full. A new measurement or installation visit must be booked separately.

A worktop measuring can take 1 to 3 hours depending on the complexity of the project.

You or a representative who can approve the design should be present during measurement. This lets us review positions, overhangs, joints and openings together. If nobody can attend, agree this with us in advance. Any outstanding design questions or missing equipment details must be resolved, and the responsible customer must approve the drawing before production.

We measure the site, check that the cabinets are level and assess access and required supports. We document any deviations and important agreements with photographs.

We prepare the technical drawing from the measurement data and equipment installation instructions. We review openings, joints, overhangs and other design details with you or your representative. Outstanding questions must be resolved and the responsible customer must approve the drawing before production.

We send the drawings, with the agreed comments and photographs, to the party commissioning the service or the manufacturer. Depending on the project, the drawings show:

• images of elements with dimensions
• edge profiles and their scopes
• frame overhang areas, counter and seating areas
• joints of elements
• location and dimensions of the sink cabinet
• location and dimensions of the cooktop cabinet
• location of the sink cutout, cutout dimensions, sink model and installation method
• location of the cooktop cutout, cutout dimensions, cooktop model and installation method
• positions and dimensions of openings for the tap and accessories around the sink
• positions of the openings for electrical sockets and other integrated accessories and the dimensions of the cutout
• other specific requests or solutions and comments

We will send you the completed drawings in PDF, VDF and DXF formats for you to review and approve before placing your order. The drawing shows all the dimensions, profiles and the positions of the necessary openings and cut-outs.

We take responsibility for the accuracy of our measurements and technical drawings, and help resolve any problems arising from our work.

If you have any doubts, do not hesitate to ask us – we are always here to provide expert advice.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us! We are happy to help you with any questions you may have about drawings.

Before measurement, make sure the kitchen cabinets are in their final positions, secured and level.

We can also measure with the existing worktop in place. In this case, we may not be able to inspect all cabinets, supports and wall junctions, so we explain the possible limitations and risks before measurement. Agree this arrangement with us in advance. Further checks may be needed after the old worktop is removed.

For the most reliable result, measure after the old or temporary worktop, sink and hob have been removed, when the cabinets, walls and supporting surfaces are accessible for inspection.

For a stone waterfall side extending to the floor, the flooring must be finished.

The area must be clean, well lit and accessible. Remove items on and inside cabinets that obstruct measurement. Room temperature must be at least +15 °C. Provide safe access and parking within 150 m of the entrance.

If the site is not ready or access is unavailable at the agreed time and the work cannot be carried out, the service is charged in full. A new measurement or installation visit must be booked separately.

The sink, cooktop and other integrated equipment must be on site for measurement. If this is not possible, provide exact model details and technical drawings or installation instructions for non-standard products before measurement. The material, thickness, edge profile, splashback design and the positions and installation methods of openings must be agreed. Sinks and cooktops are centred on their cabinets by default; notify us in advance if a different position is required.

Different materials make it possible to produce worktops of different lengths. As a general rule, we recommend planning a maximum length of 3,000 mm for each section of the worktop. If desired and if possible, we can also install longer parts. The size of the worktop section is limited by its maximum length, weight, and the accessibility of the installation area.

The measurer will consider your preferences when planning the sink opening, whether the sink is to be installed as a top-mount, flush-mount, under-mount or recessed undermount. The measurer will also review the possible installation methods for the selected sink model.

The measurer will consider your preferences when planning the draining area or grooves.

The measurer will account for your preferences when planning the tap opening, whether it is centred on the sink or positioned elsewhere, especially for multi-bowl sinks. The measurer also checks the diameter of the hole in the tap model.

The measurer will take into account your wishes in this regard when planning the opening. The measurer also checks the diameter of the hole in the model.

The measurer will consider your preferences when planning the cooktop opening, whether it is to be installed as a top-mount or flush-mount. The measurer will also assess the feasibility of installing the chosen cooktop model.

The measurer will consider your preferences when planning openings for electrical sockets and other integrated accessories, whether they are to be top-mounted or recessed. The measurer will also assess how these accessories can be installed.

The measurer requires precise information on all cuts and openings in the worktop, including the placement of sockets, taps, soap dispensers, and other fixtures, as well as the installation method. The measurer examines the appliances, their manuals, or CAD drawings to assess their compatibility with the intended location and verify their dimensions. If specific appliances, drawings, or instructions are not available, the measurer will utilise resources found online. Therefore, he needs to know the exact models of all items.

If you choose a vertical waterfall design for the sides of your kitchen island, you can select either a 45° or 90° corner connection.

Tell the measurer whether you would like a stone upstand or splashback, including its intended height and end positions. Wall cabinets, shelves, sockets and other elements affecting the dimensions must be agreed.

Before measurement, let us know whether the wall behind the worktop will be painted, fitted with a stone backsplash or upstand, or tiled later. We use this information to agree the silicone joints you want and the order of work.

• Painted wall: would you like a silicone joint between the back edge of the worktop and the wall?
• Stone backsplash or upstand: would you also like a silicone joint between its upper edge and the wall? We agree the finish at the lower junction separately.
• Wall to be tiled later: we recommend sealing the joint between the worktop and the wall tiles after tiling. We agree who will do this and when.

Silicone joints are carried out according to the ordered design and charged according to the current price list or a separate agreement.

During measurement, we assess access, the floor level and the size, weight and fragility of the components. We arrange lifting assistance and crane services when needed. Requirements, ordering and timing must be agreed before transport and installation.

If you have specific wishes or special requirements that affect measuring or installation, please submit them before measuring. Write down all the important details and requirements to discuss them with the measurer. This ensures a highly accurate and relevant measurement result.

Changing the material or thickness can affect weight, edge profiles, joints, supports and the installation of the sink and cooktop. Agree the change with us and the manufacturer before production.

We assess whether the drawing or measurement needs to be updated. Any additional work is priced according to the current price list and agreed before it is carried out. Changes may no longer be possible once production has started.

After measurement, the walls must not be tiled, plastered or otherwise altered in any way that changes their dimensions or shape. Painting and wallpapering are permitted as long as they do not affect the dimensions. The cabinets must not be moved, and their side panels must not be altered.
