How carpet area is calculated
Carpet area is the room length multiplied by the room width. Make sure to use consistent units for both dimensions.
Waste allowance adds extra coverage to account for trimming, seams, doorways, and pattern matching. A typical allowance is 5-10%.
If the room shape is irregular, split it into rectangles, calculate each rectangle's area, and sum them before applying waste.
