Useful Information
Measuring your rooms
A
Room
Rectangular rooms are relatively
straightforward to measure. First, sketch out the room marking the position of
any doorways. Measure the length and width of the room remembering to take the
size including doorway recesses. If the room has alcoves measure the width and
depth of them. This may become important should joins be required.
A
Landing
Sketch the area clearly showing doorways and
mark where the stairs meet the landing with an X. Measure width and length
remembering to take the size including doorway recesses. Also measure over and
including the top stair so that the carpet can cover the top stair in one piece
(a join on the nose of the stair would cause pre-mature wear).
A
Hall
Sketch the area clearly showing doors and
where, if applicable, the stairs begin. Measure into all doorways.
The
Stairs
There is no need to measure the length of
the stairs, simply supply us with the following details.
1 – Count the number of stairs
2 – Measure the length of the tread
and riser of one stair.
3 – Measure the width of one stair
(as a precaution check 2 or 3 other stairs to ensure they are all the same
size)
The amount of carpet you will need to cover
the stairs will be the number of stairs (1) x the length of the tread and riser
(2). However, because most carpets are made in broadloom widths (either 4m or
12feet) you will need to allow for this in your calculations. We would always
recommend that you allow us to check your plans for a stair carpet before
ordering.
