Carpet Calculator

Broadloom is cut from a wide roll, so the plan matters more than the area. Enter each room and this lays it on the roll the cheapest way, seams where they must fall, offcuts reused before new length is pulled.

Calculating for a specific carpet?
Broadloom is cut to order, so the result is a cutting plan you send with your request rather than a cart.
Room by room

What are you carpeting?

Add a row for every room. Measure wall to wall at the widest point.

RoomWidth ftLength ft
Roll width

Most broadloom ships on a 12 ft roll; some styles come 15 ft wide. Your specialist confirms the width for the style you choose.

Carpet is cut to order, not carted. Send this plan with your request and our team confirms the seams before anything is cut.

How it works
1

Measure each room

Width by length at the widest point. A room wider than the roll needs a seam: a full-width piece plus a strip, laid with the pile running one way.

2

The plan does the saving

Each room is laid the way that pulls the least length, and every offcut is checked before new length comes off the roll.

3

Request your cut

Broadloom is cut, not picked off a shelf. The plan travels with your request and a specialist confirms seams and direction before cutting.

Common Questions

CARPET QUESTIONS

The questions our counter answers most, before the first order ships.

Talk to Our Team
Why is carpet not added to a cart?+
A carpet order is a cut, and a wrong cut cannot go back on the roll. Your plan goes to a specialist who confirms the measurements and the seam placement first.
What decides where a seam falls?+
The roll width. A room wider than the roll takes a full-width piece plus a seamed strip; the plan places the strip where the least length covers it.
Why does the estimate add five percent?+
Cutting allowance. Walls are never perfectly square and the pile must run one way, so every cut carries a little length beyond the tape measure.
Can the offcuts really be used?+
Yes, and the plan uses them first. A hallway will often come entirely out of the living room's offcut, which is why the roll length can be less than the rooms suggest.
