Now you have the sizes of the room how do you know the amount of carpet to order.

For a normal room it is relatively straightforward. Carpet is produced in set widths usually 4 metres wide (13'1" imperial) or 3.66 metres wide (12' imperial).

Diagram "A" shows an example of a room 3.85m x 4.57m (or 12'7" x 15'). The carpet selected is manufactured 4m wide only. In this instance we would use the 4m width of the carpet to cover the 3.85m width of the room. The length to order would be 4.57 plus a small tolerance of around 10 cm (three or four inches) to allow for fitting. The size to order would be 4.65 x 4.00m (15'3" x 13'1").

If you are selecting a patterned carpet you will need to allow for pattern matching. We would suggest you measure your area and let us work it out for you, or seek the advise of a professional carpet fitter.

If you use our Price Guide it will give you a rough idea of how much your new carpet might cost.
