How many square yards of carpet are needed to cover a floor that is 9 feet by 10 feet?
10 square yards. Note, the amount of carpet you have to pay for may actually be more than 10 square yards as you will have to buy the entire width of the roll * the length you need. Assuming it is 12' wide you would need 12 square yards and if its 15' wide you would need 15 yards. No carpet store sells carpet by what you need but only by what the width of the roll is. So if you need a 10 x 9 piece, the carpet only comes 12 foot wide so you would take home a piece of carpet 12 x 9.

How many square yards of carpet are needed to cover a floor that is 14 feet by 18 feet?
28 sq yards -------------------------- Above answer would be correct if you were willing to cut it in to little strips and seam them all over the floor... If the carpet comes in 15ft roll you need a single piece 15 X 18 = 270sq ft = 30 sq yrd If the carpet comes in 12ft roll you need a two pieces 12 X 14 = 336sq ft = 37.33 sq yrd If the carpet comes in 10ft roll you need a two pieces 10 X 14 = 280sq ft = 31.11 sq yrd (4/6/08)
How do you calculate how much carpeting is needed for a room?
The obvious answer is to figure out the total area of the room and then buy an area of carpet equal to this amount. Since rooms often do not match up with standard carpet widths, this can lead to a patchwork of small bits cobbled together to cover the last areas of the room. Choose an area of the room that can be covered with one piece of the carpet. This is carpet area #1. Then determine the fewest large pieces of carpet needed to cover the rest -- even if there is some waste involved. This is carpet area #2. Total carpet purchase is area 1+2.

How do you buy carpet?
Generally, you will hire a carpet retailer to measure the space in your home, and then install it for you. After the space is measured and the store presents you with a quote for the whole project, you will purchase the carpet, carpet padding, and the labor to install it. You might also need to have tack strips installed (they hold carpet down around the perimeter of the room). Installers generally offer services that include moving your furniture for you, removing and hauling away old carpet, wrapping stairs, and installing moldings or transitions as needed. Installers generally deliver the carpet and other materials to your home for you on the day they install it. Carpet is manufactured in rolls that are 12-feet, 13.5-feet, or 15-feet wide. In spite of that, stores generally measure the material needed by the square yard. To calculate what's needed, look at this example: Let's say you have a room that measures 10' by 10'. That's 100 square feet, or 11.1 square yards. However, since the carpet you chose comes in a 12' roll, you will have to purchase a 12' x 10' piece to cover the floor. That's 120 square feet, or 13.3 square yards. You will buy 13.3 SY of carpet, 13.3 SY of carpet pad, and 40 linear feet of tack strip, plus whatever transition strips are needed to cover the carpet edge in the doorway to other rooms. If your room measures, say 20' x 20', you will need a piece of carpet that measures 12' x 40', or 480 square feet, or 53.3 square yards. The installer will cut the piece into two sections, each 20' long, and seam the sides together in the middle of the room. You'll have a scrap leftover of 4' x 20'. Installation fees will be calculated on the amount of material necessary to finish your project, and NOT on the measure of your rooms. That's because the installer still has to transport, measure, handle, and cut all of the carpet whether it's installed or not. Other services (removal of carpet, haul away, moving furniture, etc.) will also be calculated on the same square footage of new carpet ordered, and not on the size of the rooms alone.

My floor space is 10 ft by 10 ft how many square yards of carpet will that take?
Carpet is most commonly available 12' wide. Even if your room is 10'x10' you actually need a piece 12'x10'. 12x10=120 square feet which is 13.33 square yards of carpet.
How do i convert square feet to a percentage?
Percentages are used when comparing two things. I'll give you an example: You have a piece of carpet and a room to put it in, and you want to know what percentage of the floor the carpet will cover. The carpet is 100 square feet, and the room is 150 square feet. The formula is: (square footage of the carpet / square footage of the room) x 100 100/150 is .6667; multiply that by 100 to get 66.67 percent. If you want to carpet the room wall-to-wall, you need more carpet. OTOH, if you have a 200 square foot carpet and a 100 square foot room... (200/100) x 100 = the carpet is 200 percent of the size of the room, and you'll have to cut half of it off.

Can a square foot of carpet be replaced as to replacing all the carpet?
Some carpet can be repaired easier than others. Most can have a section replaced if you have some of the same carpet or perhaps a piece could be taken from a closet or from under a piece of furniture.
