Whats the difference in square foot pricing and square yard pricing?
A. A few years ago, carpet was always sold by the square yard. In the last few years, retailers began selling by square foot, to make it easier for customers to understand, and so that customers can compare the value of carpet to hardwood, laminates and ceramic, which has always been sold by the square foot. To transpose square foot pricing to square yards, divide the total square footage by 9. To transpose square yards into square footage, multiply the square yards by 9. Remember that carpet rolls usually come in 12′ or 15′ widths, so the actual size you may need to order may not match exactly to the square footage of yor room.
