Length off a 12 ft roll18 ft

Carpet, some flooring and fabric are sold by the square yard. Enter feet and get yards plus the length off a 12 foot roll.

How it works

Length × width in feet ÷ 9.

Before you order

  • Carpet rolls are commonly 12 feet wide, so plan seams early.
  • Quotes in square yards can look cheaper than in square feet, so compare the same unit.
  • Add overage for pattern match and seams on carpet.
