Carpet guides

A practical room-by-room guide for flooring retailers — widths, joins, doorways and waste in one checklist.

Count treads, landings and winders correctly so your stair quotes match what fitters need on site.

When to specify wide rolls, how roll width affects waste, and what to tell customers at quote stage.

Understand pattern repeat, directional pile and awkward rooms so your carpet orders stay profitable.

Enter room dimensions and roll width to estimate carpet area and material requirements before you quote.

Calculate runner length for straight stairs, landings and winders before you order or quote.

Apply a waste percentage to net carpet area before ordering — essential for pattern match and awkward layouts.
