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.
All carpet and vinylprices are per square metre. For example: 2m x 4m = 8m2
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 and fitting for carpet and hardboard for vinyl.
If the room is not a regular shape measure the size of any indentations e.g. Fireplace. This is important so that all waste can be utilised ultimately reducing the cost.
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
