Broadloom carpet is sold by the running metre off a wide roll. Enter your room and roll width to get the running metres to buy, the total carpet area, underlay and the ₹ cost — with seaming wastage built in. Indicative India 2026; confirm with your dealer.
Your room
We lay carpet as 1 strip of 3.66 m roll across the 3.66 m side, each running the 4.57 m length, then add 10% for trimming. Roll width usually exceeds the room, so some carpet is offcut — that is why broadloom wastage runs higher than tiles.

Roll-width seaming matters. Broadloom comes in fixed roll widths (typically 3.66 m or 4 m), so a room is covered with full-width strips and the surplus is offcut — real wastage depends on how seams are planned and where the carpet's pile direction must run. These figures are indicative; always have your dealer measure the room and confirm running metres, seam placement, underlay and fitting before ordering.
