To calculate carpet for 13 stairs, measure the riser height and tread depth. Multiply the riser height by 13 to get total riser area. Multiply the tread depth by 12 (for treads). Add these two results. Then, add 6 inches for waste. This total gives you the length of runner carpet needed for the stairs.
Add extra height for each riser, which is the vertical part of the step. Riser heights average about 7 to 8 inches. Multiply this measurement by the number of stairs for the total height, roughly 7.5 feet for 13 stairs.
In summary, you will need a length of around 18.5 feet (combining run and risers) plus additional length for allowances, seams, and patterns.
Now that you have calculated how much carpet you need for a 13-stair runner, it’s essential to consider installation practices. Proper installation techniques will ensure your runner not only looks good but also lasts longer and provides safe traction on the stairs.
