Measure the maximum length and width at the rooms’ widest points, (measure to the back of the doorframe to allow the carpet or flooring to be fitted into the door).
Multiply the width measurement by the length measurement to give you an idea of the total square metres required. (Carpet prices are per square metre).
e.g. 2m x 4m = 8m2
To work out an approximate price for carpet take the square metre price e.g. £26.00 and multiply it by your total square metres.
e.g. £26.00 x 8m2 = £208.00
To work out an approximate price for packs of flooring take your total square metres and divide by the pack coverage area and then multiply by the pack price e.g. £20 per pack.
e.g. 8m2 / 2m2 = 4 packs required, then 4 packs by £20 = £80
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.
Draw out your room with the dimensions on, this will help when planning your budget and allow you to buy the best quality carpet or flooring you can afford.
This will also help when planning the most economical way to fit your carpet or flooring. |
