How To Measure A Room

We know that measuring your room can seem daunting but it really needn't be. Follow our simple how to measure your room guides and you'll be an expert in no time! To start you will need a pen or pencil, paper, tape measure and calculator. This guide has been produced to enable you to measure a room for your chosen floor covering and should not be considered an installation guide. When measuring your rooms you should always ensure that you keep the flooring running in the same direction to maintain texture, pattern and colour consistency. If you change the direction then the pattern, texture and the pile of the carpet will reflect the light differently. Once you've measured your room and selected a product we can check your measurements and tell you how much flooring is required. This facility is only available once you have selected a product.

Carpets

You will need to measure your rooms width and length at it's widest point taking into account any bay windows and door entrances. Once you have these measurements you need to add 10cm on all sides to allow for cutting in during your installation. When you have the room width you need to check that it is less than the width of the carpet you are buying to avoid any joins, for instance if your room width is 4.4m wide and the carpet you are buying is available in 4m and 5m widths then you should buy the 5m wide product. If the carpet is only 4m wide then you will need to buy either the length of the room by the width twice and use the second piece as a filler to give you your 4.4m width or if you are fitting another room you may find that you have excess from this room that can be utilised as the filler.
