Perimeter Panel Cabinet Base Height Calculation
BH = Baseboard Height + Finish Floor Height*
G = Gap (min 0.5”)
B = Cabinet Base Height
(Min 5", increases in 1" increments)
B = BH + G + 0.5”
Note: *Include flooring thickness, underlayment, and any
concrete leveling as part of calculation.
Example:
If using a 5" baseboard, with 1” Finished Flooring height,
and 0.5" gap:
B = (5” + 1”) + (0.5”) + 0.5”
B = 7"
Therefore a 7” Cabinet Base is required.
