How to calculate the wardrobe expansion area
When customizing a wardrobe, there are two main ways to calculate the price: calculated by projected area and calculated by expanded area. Among them, the expanded area calculation method is more transparent, but the calculation method is also relatively complex. This article will introduce in detail the calculation method of the wardrobe expansion area, and attach a structured data table to help you better understand.
1. What is expansion area?
The expanded area refers to the total area after all the panels of the wardrobe are expanded (including side panels, partitions, back panels, door panels, etc.). This method of calculating the price is more accurate, but requires measuring the dimensions of each board.
2. Calculation formula of expanded area
The formula for calculating the expanded area is:Total expanded area = sum of areas of each plate. The specific steps are as follows:
1.Measure the dimensions of each board: Including length, width and thickness (thickness is usually not included in the area, but will affect the price of the board).
2.Calculate the area of a single plate: Area = length × width.
3.Accumulate all plate areas: Obtain the total expanded area.
4.Multiply by unit price: Total price = total expanded area × unit price (yuan/square meter).
3. Example of calculation of expanded area
The following is an example of calculating the expanded area of a wardrobe (assuming the dimensions of the wardrobe are 2.4 meters high, 1.8 meters wide, and 0.6 meters deep):
| Plate name | quantity | Dimensions (length × width) | Single block area (㎡) | Total area (㎡) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Side panels | 2 | 2.4m × 0.6m | 1.44 | 2.88 |
| Partition | 3 | 0.6m × 0.5m | 0.30 | 0.90 |
| backplane | 1 | 2.4m × 1.8m | 4.32 | 4.32 |
| door panel | 2 | 2.4m × 0.9m | 2.16 | 4.32 |
| total | - | - | - | 12.42㎡ |
4. Expanded area vs projected area
Expanded area and projected area are two common pricing methods. The differences are as follows:
| Comparative item | Expanded area | Projected area |
|---|---|---|
| Calculation method | The sum of the areas of all panels | Wardrobe front area (height × width) |
| transparency | Height (calculated separately for each board) | Low (possible hidden additional charges) |
| Applicable scenarios | Wardrobe with complex structure | Simple structure wardrobe |
5. Things to note
1.Confirm the unit price of the panels: The prices of different materials (such as particle board, multi-layer board, solid wood) vary greatly.
2.Check hardware accessories: Whether hinges, slide rails, etc. are included in the quotation.
3.Avoid double counting: Some merchants may double count backboards or partitions into the area.
Summarize
The expansion area calculation method is more transparent and suitable for users who have higher requirements for wardrobe structure. Through the examples and tables in this article, you can clearly understand the calculation methods and avoid being misled by merchants. It is recommended to confirm all details with the merchant before customizing to ensure the price is reasonable.
