A flat rubber carpet padding may weigh 22 pounds per cubic foot and a prime urethane carpet cushion may weigh only 4 pounds, but the ultimate performance factor is how many pounds per footfall area will it take for the carpet cushion to bottom out.
$20 per yard aprox. (9sq ft)
Around $2.00
There is quite a range of costs depending on the type and qualitiy. It starts at about 8 dollars per square yard not including padding and goes up from there.
Prices would range from $2-$12 depending on the carpet and padding selected.
For the carpet you are not paying just for the carpet. there is also the padding which goes under the carpet for softness and the cost for a profesional to come in and properly install everythin. all together with these three costs it should be about 20$ per square foot.
If the room is 4 yards by 5 yards you will need 20 square yards. 20 square yards of carpet at $19.95 is $399.00. Remember you may still have to pay for padding and labor if that is not included in the $19.95 per yard. That may be $3.50 per yard of padding and $7.00 per yard labor approximately. If the room is wider than 12 feet you will use a lot more carpet because of the fill piece required to finish the room must run in the same direction. Total costs summary: * Cost for the carpet ($390) * Installation costs (Labour, underpad) ($210) * Old carpet disposal ($50 est.) * Sales Taxes (@ 10% = $50) * Impact of clergy discounts (@ 10% discount on materials = -$50)
This question has no definite answer. Some suppliers quote it as an installed price already included. The price on the padding itself may vary with thickness and variety - roughly $.50 per sq/ft. for a basic thinner pad to $1.00 per sq/ft. on a thicker and more durable material. It may be sold by the roll with so many square feet in the roll or not depending on your installer or supplier. You usually use no more than 1/2" pad with cut pile carpet and recommend 7/16" or less for berber or low pile carpets. Synthetic padding is best for berbers or loop piles. This type of padding has less bounce but will out perform foam padding in this application.
