Hi Michael ~~~

The carpet shop will want to do their own measurements anyway.

Hubby works with figures daily and used to have to use conversions everyday, when the Steel Industry went from imperial to metric, and knows before we go to the shop how much we want, but they will want to come to measure, depends on carpet width you choose , which way the pile goes etc.
He says at 2.54 cm to an inch, works out you should need 13.17sq metres, but heyho leave it to them , knowing yourself how much you need gives you an idea on the price you'll pay:))

Hope you enjoy your new carpet !

Researching:
Nothing.. cos I'm fed up !
