1. What is the Angle Depth Calculation?

The angle depth calculation determines the effective depth of a cabinet when installed at an angle. This is important for space planning and ensuring proper fit in corner installations or angled designs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the trigonometric formula:

Where:

• \( Cabinet Width \) — The actual width of the cabinet (mm)
• \( Angle \) — The installation angle (degrees)
• \( \cos \) — Cosine trigonometric function

Explanation: The formula calculates the projected depth of the cabinet when angled, which is always less than or equal to the actual cabinet width.

3. Importance of Angle Depth Calculation

Details: Accurate depth calculation is crucial for proper cabinet installation, space optimization, and ensuring cabinets fit correctly in angled spaces or corner configurations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter cabinet width in millimeters and the installation angle in degrees (0-90°). The angle should be measured from the wall or reference surface.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What angle range is valid for this calculation?
A: The calculator accepts angles from 0° to 90°. At 0° (flat against wall), depth equals width. At 90° (perpendicular to wall), depth is 0.

Q2: How does angle affect cabinet depth?
A: As the angle increases, the effective depth decreases. The relationship follows the cosine function.

Q3: When is this calculation most useful?
A: Particularly important for corner cabinets, angled island installations, and spaces with non-standard wall angles.

Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: This calculates the depth projection only. Additional considerations include cabinet thickness, hardware clearance, and installation constraints.

Q5: Should I add safety margins to the calculated depth?
A: Yes, it's recommended to add 10-20mm clearance to the calculated depth to account for installation tolerances and hardware requirements.
