Tall
cabinets 72" or taller can count as either
base or wall cabinets, but not both. (Fig
4) The calculation is as follows:
12"
deep tall units = 1 x the base lineal
footage, 2 x the wall lineal footage.
18"
deep tall units = 1.5 x the base lineal
footage, 3 x the wall lineal footage.
21"
to 24" deep tall units = 2 x the base
lineal footage, 4 x the wall lineal footage.
Comment:
In calculating total frontage do not count appliance frontage
or sink base frontage.
