# Linear Foot Measurement

## Linear Foot Measurement

###### A linear foot is a length measurement equal to one running foot of material, commonly used to describe an object's length or the running length of a material.

- [Roll runner](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/roll-runner/) products which are available in [specific/fixed widths](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/choosing-a-runner-width/) are sold by the linear foot. Runner width is detailed on each product page. [See Width Categories HERE](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/stair-runner-widths/)

- A linear foot measurement is a simple straight line measurement. Linear feet are different from**[square feet](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/square-foot-pricing/). ** Linear footage is a single dimension measurement.  Square footage is an area measurement - a two-dimensional measurement of width by length.

- If you have taken length dimensions for your project which are currently quantified in inches - simply divide that number by 12 to find linear feet.

- [Square foot](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/square-foot-pricing/) products are labeled as such and referred to as custom width. **NOTE:**Our [custom width](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/custom-width/) products are quantified/sold by the [square foot](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/square-foot-pricing/).* **While you still need to know the *[length needed](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/how-do-i-measure-for-a-stair-runner/)* for your project, the pricing structure is different: Fixed width vs. custom width materials.*
