Difference between linear metre and projected area for kitchen cabinets

Kitchen cabinets are priced by linear metre, calculated one metre at a time along the worktop length; base cabinets, worktops, and wall cabinets are usually converted proportionally into the linear metre price. Projected area is the front-facing area of width multiplied by height, mostly used for cabinet bodies such as wardrobes. The two pricing logics are different, so unit prices cannot be compared directly. Basic configuration: E0 particle board cabinet body + PET door panel, Beijing 900–1,000 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou areas 765–850 yuan/linear metre; mainstream configuration: ENF particle board cabinet body + PET door panel, Beijing 1,020–1,250 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou areas 867–1,062.5 yuan/linear metre. Worktops are commonly quartz, with cutouts processed according to the actual dimensions of the sink and hob. The above are reference prices and do not constitute a formal quotation.
