How to Measure for your Quartz Panels

Once you’ve decided on quartz walls, accurate measurements of the space must be provided with the signature of customer. If a tub or shower base is being installed, measurements must be taken after the installation. Delivery time will depend on the cutting facility, but most are finished within three weeks. Before you do anything, install you shower base (tile or acrylic) or bathtub, because accurate measurements are necessary for a perfect fit.

To measure you will need:

  • Pen or pencil
  • Paper or cut sheet (see quartz panels)
  • Measuring Tape (with 1/16″)

The first thing to measure is the back panel. Measure the width at both the top and bottom, in case your walls aren’t even.

When measuring the height, always keep in mind that you will need at least a 1/4″ of space to tilt the quartz panel into place.

As for the sides, remember that the back panel is 5/8″ thick so this must be subtracted from the overall the depth.
