How is the linear meter of the cabinet calculated?
When renovating a kitchen, cabinet selection and pricing are one of the biggest concerns for consumers. Among them, "yanmi" is a commonly used pricing unit in the cabinet industry, but many people are not clear about its specific calculation method. This article will introduce in detail the concept, calculation method and related precautions of linear meters to help you better plan your budget.
1. What is Yanmi?
Linear meter is a unit of measurement in the cabinet industry, which refers to the length of the cabinet extending horizontally along the wall (usually in meters). 1 linear meter usually includes a combination of base cabinets, countertops and wall cabinets, but the specific content may vary depending on the brand or merchant.
| project | illustrate |
|---|---|
| Base cabinet | Refers to the cabinet installed on the kitchen floor, usually 80-85cm in height |
| mesa | The plane covering the top of the base cabinet, made of artificial stone, quartz stone, etc. |
| wall cabinet | Cabinets installed on the wall, usually 60-70cm in height |
2. Specific calculation method of linear meters
The price of Yanmi usually includes the following parts:
| components | Calculation method | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| base price | Unit price per linear meter × total length | Includes standard base cabinets, countertops and wall cabinets |
| Additional charges | Additional costs for special accessories or materials | Such as pull baskets, special hardware, etc. |
| Non-standard fees | Price increase for non-standard sizes | Such as ultra-high wall cabinets, special-shaped corners, etc. |
For example: Suppose the basic price of a certain brand of cabinets is 2,000 yuan/linear meter, and the kitchen needs to install 5 linear meters of cabinets, then the basic cost is 2,000×5=10,000 yuan. If you need to add special accessories worth 2,000 yuan, the total price will be 12,000 yuan.
3. Main factors affecting Yanmi price

3.Hardware accessories: Imported hardware (such as Blum, Hettich) will increase the price by 10%-15%.
4.Design complexity: Special designs such as corners and special shapes will increase the cost by 5%-10%.
| Material type | Price range (yuan/linear meter) | Applicable people |
