A Guide To Measuring Your Room For Carpeting
Measuring Your Stairs & Landing
For the stairs you will need to check the dimensions of one or two stairs to ensure they are the same and then count the number of stairs you have.
In our diagram we have 10 stairs, the very top riser being included in the Landing measurements. Each of our 10 stairs have a 'tread' and a 'riser' and we measure the width of the stair, and then the length of one tread and riser together.
Sometimes at the base of your stairs you will
have a stair that has a curved edge.
This is called a 'Bullnose' and you will need to
measure the tread and riser separately.
Your staircase may also turn and have triangular shaped stairs known as 'Winders'. These will need to be measured separately, noting their widest dimensions.
