DETERMINING QUANTITY NEEDED:
To determine the approximate quantity of carpet needed:
(1) multiply the length of the room in feet by its width in feet, and
(2) divide that figure by 9 to obtain a measurement in square yards.
(3) Add 10% to account for room irregularities such as closets and doorways, etc. It is always recommended that a professional make final measurements, as they know how to plan seam placements, work with room irregularities and account for rooms wider than the 12 feet width that most carpet manufacturers produce their product to accommodate.
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Discuss with your carpet retailer or installer the services that will be provided – such as removal and disposal of existing flooring, removal of furniture, etc. Make sure you are aware whether or not there are additional fees for such services.
