How to calculate the area of wine cabinet
Among the hot topics in the past 10 days, home decoration and storage design have become the focus of many netizens, especially the design and area calculation of wine cabinets. Whether it’s a custom wine cabinet or a finished wine cabinet, accurately calculating its area is crucial for space planning and budget control. This article will introduce in detail the calculation method of wine cabinet area and provide structured data to help you quickly master the skills.
1. Basic principles for calculating the area of wine cabinets
The calculation of the area of the wine cabinet is mainly divided into two parts:Projected areaandExpanded area. The projected area refers to the size of the front projection of the wine cabinet on the wall, while the expanded area is the total actual use area of all boards. The following is a comparison of the two calculation methods:
| Calculation method | Applicable scenarios | Calculation formula |
|---|---|---|
| Projected area | Ready-made wine cabinet or simple custom wine cabinet | height × width |
| Expanded area | Complex customized wine cabinet (including compartments, drawers, etc.) | The sum of the areas of each plate |
2. Specific calculation steps for the projected area of the wine cabinet
1.Measure the height and width of your wine cabinet: Use a tape measure to measure the vertical height of the wine cabinet from floor to top (H) and the widest point of the wine cabinet (W).
2.Calculate projected area: Multiply the height (H) and the width (W) to get the projected area (S). The formula is:S = H × W.
3.Example: If the height of the wine cabinet is 2 meters and the width is 1.5 meters, the projected area is 2 × 1.5 = 3 square meters.
3. Specific calculation steps for the expanded area of the wine cabinet
The calculation of the expanded area is more complicated. It is necessary to calculate the area of each plate separately and then add them up. The following are the classification and calculation methods of common wine cabinet boards:
| Board type | Calculation method | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Side panels | Height × Thickness × 2 | Usually two pieces on the left and right |
| Top/bottom plate | Width × Thickness × 2 | One piece each for top and bottom |
| compartment | Width × Depth × Number of compartments | Depth needs to be measured separately |
| backplane | height × width | Usually one piece |
4. Actual case demonstration
Assume that a wine cabinet is customized with the following dimensions: height 2 meters, width 1.2 meters, depth 0.4 meters, including 3 compartments, and the thickness of the plates is 0.02 meters. Its expanded area is calculated as follows:
| plate | Calculation process | Area (square meters) |
|---|---|---|
| Side panels | 2 × 0.02 × 2 | 0.08 |
| Top/bottom plate | 1.2 × 0.02 × 2 | 0.048 |
| compartment | 1.2 × 0.4 × 3 | 1.44 |
| backplane | 2 × 1.2 | 2.4 |
| total | - | 3.968 |
5. Things to note
1.Unified units: Make sure all dimensions are in meters or centimeters to avoid calculation errors.
2.design details: If the wine cabinet includes glass doors, decorative moldings, etc., additional area calculation is required.
3.loss reserve: For customized wine cabinets, it is recommended to reserve 5%-10% more plate area to cope with cutting loss.
Through the above method, you can easily calculate the projected area or expanded area of the wine cabinet, providing accurate data support for purchasing or customizing the wine cabinet. If you need to further simplify the process, you can contact a professional designer to use CAD software to assist in design.
