# Square Foot Pricing

## Square Foot Pricing

### Custom Size

###### One square foot is defined as a unit of area measurement equal to a single square measuring one foot on each side. 1' x 1'  Square footage is an area measurement - a two-dimensional measurement of width by length.

[Custom Size stair runner products](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/custom-width/) are quantified and priced by the square foot. To calculate the square footage of a straight custom piece simply multiply the width by the length. A simple example might be a runner for straight stairs which you'd like to be made 2 feet wide and your project requires a 20 foot length. *(this can also be used in a hallway)* This example is 40 square feet. OR you may need an area rug which is 5' x 8' - this too is a 40 square foot piece. The 40 square feet result is multiplied by the per sq. foot price shown on the selected [custom width product page.](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/product-category/custom_width_stair_runners/?_sft_pa_approx-width=custom-size)

CUSTOM SHAPE:  This calculation is more complex for a piece which is not square or rectangular - that is, a custom shape or a project with a landing or turn for example - these projects will increase material/waste and add labor. Please contact us for this type of quote OR with any specific questions about your project.

- All [custom size products](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/product-category/custom_width_stair_runners/?_sft_pa_approx-width=custom-size) are shown with square foot pricing - these prices are for a rectangular or square piece. Other shapes create variables which affect price.
- Square foot materials carry a minimum square footage requirement of 25 square feet.
- Price includes all edges finished with [Serging](https://www.stairrunnerstore.com/docs/serging/) - a yarn wrapped edge finish.
