How to calculate the expansion area of the wardrobe
In modern home decoration, customized wardrobes are very popular because of their personalized design and high space utilization. However, many consumers are often confused about the concept of "expansion area" when purchasing customized wardrobes. This article will introduce in detail the calculation method of the wardrobe expansion area, and combine it with the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to help you better understand this knowledge point.
1. What is the expansion area of the wardrobe?

The expanded area of the wardrobe refers to the total plane area of all the panels in the wardrobe, including the area of all components such as cabinets, partitions, and door panels. Different from the "projected area" (the front-view area of the wardrobe), the expanded area reflects the actual material volume of the wardrobe in more detail and is one of the important basis for pricing customized wardrobes.
| Calculation method | Description |
|---|---|
| Projected area | Wardrobe width × height, excluding depth and internal structure. |
| Expanded area | The total area of all boards, including side boards, laminates, back boards, etc. |
2. How to calculate the expansion area of the wardrobe?
Calculating the unfolded area of the wardrobe requires adding the area of each panel. The following are the specific calculation steps:
| Board type | Calculation formula |
|---|---|
| Side panels | Height × Depth × 2 (left and right pieces) |
| laminate | Width × Depth × Number of Layers |
| backplane | height × width |
| door panel | Height × width × number of door panels |
Example:Assuming that the dimensions of a wardrobe are 2 meters wide, 2.4 meters high, and 0.6 meters deep, with 3 layers of laminates and 2 door panels inside, the expanded area is calculated as follows:
| Side panels | 2.4m × 0.6m × 2 = 2.88㎡ |
| laminate | 2m × 0.6m × 3 = 3.6㎡ |
| backplane | 2.4m × 2m = 4.8㎡ |
| door panel | 2.4m × 0.5m × 2 = 2.4㎡ (the width of a single door is usually half of the total width) |
| total | 2.88 + 3.6 + 4.8 + 2.4 =13.68㎡ |
