How to measure your stairs for carpet fitting

When ordering a new carpet for your stairs, the process of measuring is a little more involved than it is for a normal room, however it’s easy when you know how! To get started, you’ll need a couple of things :

– Pencil and Paper
– Tape Measure

Step One - Count your individual stairs and make a list

You’ll need to know the measurements of each individual step – odds are that some will be slightly different to each other – so by listing the measurements for each step you’ll be able to add them up.

Step Two - Measure the run, rise and width of each step

Measure each step individually, and add the dimensions on to your list

Step Three - Add your measurements

Add all the run and rise measurements together. also include the landing within this measurement.

You should now have the overall length x width of the stairs and landing.

Step Four - Pick your floor and enter your measurements
