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.
