What is the mosque carpet calculation based on?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator calculates each area's floor area by multiplying its width by its length, then adds the areas together. The main hall, mezzanine and entrance can be entered as separate areas.
Kalida Carpet uses Saf Length options of 120, 125, 130 and 133 cm. Saf Length is the front-to-back depth of one prayer row. Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator allows 60 cm per person along each row and accounts for the front clearance and Qibla Alignment.
Kalida Carpet uses looms with a weaving width of 4.00 m and face-to-face Wilton weaving to produce matching A/B rolls. Kalida Carpet adds a total allowance of 20 cm along each roll's length: 10 cm at each end. The Weaving Total includes the production allowance and both A/B rolls.
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator provides a preliminary Weaving Total based on the roll layout, rather than a fixed percentage added to the floor area. The final total is confirmed after the dimensions and layout have been checked. Send us your quotation request to discuss your project.
Mosque carpet calculation example
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator's tested example uses a single 6 × 8 m prayer room, 120 cm Saf Length and 0° Qibla Alignment. The calculator suggests a 40 cm front clearance, leaving 40 cm at the back. The results are 6 prayer rows, an Estimated Capacity of 60 people, 48 m² of floor area and a Weaving Total of 49.48 m². These figures apply to this example and its stated conditions; the Weaving Total is preliminary.
How many prayer rows fit in a mosque?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator calculates how many complete prayer rows fit parallel to the front wall by dividing the remaining depth by Saf Length and rounding down. The remaining depth is the front-to-back depth after subtracting the front clearance. Angled layouts also account for the direction of the prayer rows and the area's boundaries.
How many people can a prayer hall hold?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator calculates Estimated Capacity by allowing 60 cm per person along each prayer row and deducting the area of the minber, lectern and columns. Capacity is approximate because the positions of the minber, lectern and columns are unknown; the layout needs a separate check for actual use.
How many square metres of carpet does a mosque need?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator calculates 48 m² of floor area and a Weaving Total of 49.48 m² for the tested 6 × 8 m prayer room. The example uses 120 cm Saf Length, 0° Qibla Alignment and the automatically suggested 40 cm front clearance. The Weaving Total comes from the roll layout and production allowances, rather than a fixed percentage added to the floor area.
How does Qibla Alignment affect the Weaving Total?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator uses Qibla Alignment to plan the roll layout and calculate the Weaving Total. Qibla Alignment is the angle between the prayer rows and the front wall, rather than a compass bearing. Rows angled to the front wall can change the cuts and the Weaving Total.
Which measurements do I need to enter?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator needs each area's width and length, plus Saf Length, Qibla Alignment and front clearance for row-patterned areas. Width runs along the front wall; length runs from the front wall to the back. If Qibla Alignment is unknown, select the relevant option; front clearance can use the automatic suggestion or an entered measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I view my Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator results?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator makes all calculation results and the layout for your project available once you send your quote request. Contact details, including a phone number and email address, are required for the request.
Is the calculated Weaving Total the final order quantity?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator provides a preliminary Weaving Total. The final total is confirmed after the dimensions and layout have been checked.
Why does the Weaving Total differ from the floor area?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator uses room dimensions for floor area and the roll layout and production allowances for the Weaving Total, so the figures can differ. The Weaving Total includes both A/B rolls produced together by face-to-face Wilton weaving.
What should I do if Qibla Alignment is unknown?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator has an option to mark Qibla Alignment as unknown. The calculation then assumes 0° and flags that assumption in the results.
Which results are calculated for Plain Carpet?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator calculates floor area and Weaving Total for areas marked as Plain Carpet. Qibla Alignment and Estimated Capacity are not calculated for Plain Carpet areas.
Does Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator show prices?
Kalida Mosque Carpet Calculator does not show prices. Kalida Carpet reviews the quotation request alongside the measurements and layout details.
