How to Buy Carpet in Different Square Yards

A yard is a unit of measurement that equates to 3 feet in length. Therefore, a square yard would be a 3-by-3-foot piece of material or area of your floor. If you're attempting to buy carpeting for a room in your house in different square yardages, you can do so in any one of a few places. This will help you get carpeting that meets the exact measurement requirements of the room you'll be putting it in.

Instructions

- 1
  Visit a carpeting store. View samples and place your order for your specific square yardage.
- 2
  Contact the manufacturer directly. If you need to purchase a large quantity of carpeting in different square yardages, you may want to contact the company that made the carpeting you're trying to purchase. You can find this information after viewing carpet samples at a carpeting store or by referring to carpeting manufacturers' websites.
- 3
  Buy your carpeting from a home improvement store such as Lowe's or Home Depot. These hardware stores sell carpeting but they may not have the same type of selection that a dedicated carpeting store has. They will, however, have the ability to order carpeting in different square sizes to match the physical dimensions of the room you're remodeling.
