How to Measure Your Room for Carpet
Measure the maximum length and width at the rooms' widest points, remembering to measure into the door frame as the carpet or vinyl should end under the door. (5)
Multiply the width measurement by the length measurement to give you an idea of the total square metres required.
To work out an approximate price take the square metre price e.g. £26.00 and multiply it by your total square metres.
£26.00 x 8m2 = £208.00 of course you will need to add other costs ie underlay, gripper theshold plates if required and fitting for carpet and hardboard for vinyl.
If the room is not a regular shape measure the size of any set backs e.g. Fireplaces or alcoves. This waste may be able to be used for other areas such as stairs or for joins in other rooms, so potentially this waste may save you money on your carpet.
This will also help when planning the most economical way to use the carpet or vinyl, which can be available in different widths.
measure length (1) x width (2)
Important so the correct number of pattern repeats or length is calculated
