Carpet Sizes
Standard carpet roll widths and room carpet sizes.
Wall-to-wall carpet is sold from rolls in fixed widths, so the roll width decides how many seams a room needs.

How to use the Carpet Sizes
Standard carpet roll widths and room carpet sizes.
- 1 Check the roll widths available in your region.
- 2 Compare them with your room width to limit seams.
- 3 Use the room table for typical areas.
Example and practical tips
A 14 ft wide room fits a 15 ft US roll without a seam, but needs a seam with a 12 ft roll.
Frequently asked questions
Are carpet sizes the same in every country?
No. The US, UK and Europe use different standard sizes, so check the chart for your region and the product’s own measurements.
Why do inches and centimeters not match exactly?
Products are made to round numbers in one system, so the other system’s figures are rounded conversions.
