Carpeting is most commonly sold in widths of... 12 feet. Estimating carpeting requires a floorplan and a precise layout using sections the 12 foot carpet width running in one direction, making for some excess scraps. This is why you'll almost always need to purchase more square footage of carpet than the square footage of your room.
