In order to work out how much carpet or vinyl you will need you must first measure
your room. To do this, simply measure the room across its longest and widest parts.
Make sure you measure into any alcoves; it is better to have too much carpet or
vinyl rather than too little! To run your carpet or vinyl into a doorway, measure
to where the carpet or vinyl will finish underneath the door.
You should then add 10 centimetres (about 4 inches) onto the longest and widest
measurements. This will allow for cutting, trimming and will help to ensure a quality
fitting. Therefore if your room is 5.1 x 3.9 metres, you will need to order carpet
or vinyl measuring 5.2 x 4.0 metres.
