Measuring Angled Kitchen Countertop

[Account Closed]

Hello to all reno professionals!

I am currently renovating my live in house hack. The cabinets have been bought and I will be installing them. The kitchen countertops however, I am unsure what is the best action to take? The walls are angled and I am not sure how to accurately measure the angle to cut the countertop? Is there a tool or technique anyone knows of? I am planning on laminate countertops but I have not seen any videos or articles explaining the best way to do this? I feel that this may be way over my head and its best to get these fitted and installed by a contractor? I know Ikea has budget friendly laminate countertops and they have installation service. Although I am keen on learning everything reno from first hand experience, is this something I may be able to figure out myself?

Thanks!

A technique I have seen but not used personally is this:

Get a set of thin strips of plywood -- maybe an inch wide and one-fourth of an inch thick. Lay a strip against each wall, on top of your cabinets. (In the photo, you would need to put something next to the range and along the green wall to support the strips there.) If a wall is not straight, use multiple strips or scribe and cut a strip to conform to the shape of the wall.  Add another strip along the front of each cabinet and along the side where the countertop will end. Then glue the strips together at the corners. A hot-glue gun probably would work well, because the glue sets immediately.

In the end, you will produce a template for each piece of coutertop material to be cut. Be sure to account for the areas along the front and some sides where the countertop will extend beyond the cabinet frames. If this wooden template doesn't quite do the job, make a cardboard template from posterboard placed on top of the template.
