 Gripper
Estimating the amount of gripper required:
add the widths and lengths of the room. Divide the total (width x length) by 1.5. This will give you the amount of sticks you need
For stairs you will need to measure the widths of the stairs, you will need 2 lengths of gripper for each step.
It is advised to over estimate the amount of sticks by 3 or 4, for round door frames e.t.c.
Underlay
To work out how many rolls of underlay are required (rounded up to the nearest roll) please enter the total amount of square meters in the table below.
see the following websites for more in depth how to's

The conversion table above is a general estimate of underlay required, rounded up to the nearest number of roles, please use your own judgement or contact us for our personal advice.
When estimating the quantity of underlay required, a slight excess of around 2% should be allowed, to compensate for cutting in at the perimeter, Please add this on to your total square meterage before entering it into the table above.
Guide to measuring your room correctly
Square rooms
1. Always use a tape measure.
2. Always measure the longest part of the room, this includes built in cupboards and cubby-holes
3. Measure the width and the length
4. We recommend that you add 10cm extra to the width and 10 cm extra to the length, as most walls do not run straight.
5. Always Round up your width to the closest meter ( e.g. 3.4m rounds up to. 4m )
6. Multiply the width by the length ( e.g. W 4m X L 6.3m )
7. And you will then have the room in square meters ( e.g. 25.2 Sqm )
8. Keep a note of the width , length and square meters ( Sqm ) for pricing your carpet
How to work out the cost of the carpet for your room
1. Find the carpet you like
2. Remember you Always Round up your width to the closest meter ( e.g. 4m), or if your room size requires more than 4m width, contact us to design you a plan
3. Find the price of the carpet per square metre
4. Multiply The Price (example £7.53 per Sqm ) by room size in square meters ( e.g. £7.53 X 25.2 Sqm )
5. And you will now have the cost of your carpet ( e.g. £189.76 )
