Carpet Area
Carpet area is the net usable floor area within the walls of a room or property — essentially the area you can actually carpet or use for living.
Explained Simply
Carpet area excludes wall thickness, balconies, terrace areas, and common areas. It is the smallest of the three common area measurements (carpet < built-up < super built-up). RERA (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act) mandates that apartment developers disclose carpet area to buyers. Carpet area is typically 70–85% of built-up area in residential construction.
