Broadloom
Carpet sold in wide rolls (typically 12 ft) and cut to fit the room.
Broadloom is the traditional roll-form of carpet, typically 12 feet wide. The room is measured, the carpet cut to size, seamed where joins are unavoidable, and stretched onto tackless strip around the perimeter.
Broadloom remains the dominant residential carpet form because of its seamless look and lower per-square-foot price than carpet tile. Trade-off: a damaged area requires a partial replacement, which is rarely an exact match.
Pricing depends heavily on fiber and pile (Berber, plush, frieze, pattern). Total installed runs $3-$8 per square foot for residential builder-grade up to $15+ for premium wool.
