Most carpet is measured in Linear or ‘Broadloom’ metres – rather than square metres. A broadloom refers to the width of the room. In most cases it will be 3.66 metres although it can be as low as 2.0 metres and as high as 4.0 metres. Most hard flooring is measured in square meters but calculated in pack size.

Choosing carpet can be a stressful process, however there are certainly several factors to consider which should assist you in making the best choice. For instance, if you live in a cooler climate, a wool carpet could work well in your home, and if you have a busy family household, then you may want to consider a carpet that is stain resistant. Or if you would like to purchase an eco-friendly carpet, we have several options of carpet made from renewably sourced polymers. For further details, simply ask our friendly staff at Carpet Home.
Underlay used under carpet is a very important factor and will impact how the carpet feels once installed, so it is recommended that you have your underlay replaced when replacing your carpet. When purchasing new carpet, it is also important to understand the warranty conditions of your specific supplier, who may void the carpets warranty if installed on old underlay.
