About this calculator

What Is a 120 × 180 cm Rug Calculator?

120 × 180 cm rugs are a versatile small-to-medium rug size commonly considered for bedrooms, living spaces, compact seating arrangements, home offices, entrance areas and decorative floor settings.

A finished 120 × 180 cm rectangular rug covers exactly 2.16 square metres, equivalent to approximately 23.25 square feet.

Knowing the area makes it possible to estimate several other commercial specifications. When approximate finished GSM is known, buyers can estimate finished rug weight. When a supplier quotes a price per square metre, the same area can be used to estimate cost per rug and total order value.

Primeval's 120 × 180 cm Rug Calculator brings those calculations together in one sourcing tool for importers, retailers, wholesalers, interior brands and purchasing teams.

Simple process

How to Use the 120 × 180 cm Rug Calculator

Enter your specifications and use the result as a practical starting point for product, sourcing and shipment planning.

Use the fixed rug dimensions

The calculator is already configured for a finished rectangular rug measuring 120 cm × 180 cm.

Enter finished GSM

Add the estimated or measured finished weight per square metre of the proposed rug construction.

Enter order quantity

Specify how many rugs are planned so the calculator can estimate combined product weight.

Add price per square metre

If your factory or supplier quotes rugs by square metre, enter the rate to calculate approximate cost per rug.

Review individual rug values

The calculator shows the fixed area, estimated weight and optional cost for one 120 × 180 cm rug.

Review total order values

Use quantity to estimate combined product weight and total purchasing value for preliminary sourcing planning.

Because the dimensions are fixed, the rug surface area remains constant. Weight changes according to the finished GSM entered, while commercial value changes according to the price per square metre and order quantity.

Formula

Area = 1.20 × 1.80 = 2.16 m² | Weight = 2.16 × GSM ÷ 1,000

What the values mean

Width: Fixed finished rug width of 1.20 metres.
Length: Fixed finished rug length of 1.80 metres.
Area: Fixed rug surface area of 2.16 square metres.
Finished GSM: Approximate finished rug weight in grams per square metre.
Rate per m²: Optional supplier, production or target price for one square metre.
Quantity: Number of 120 × 180 cm rugs in the planned order.

Practical examples

See how typical values translate into a useful planning estimate.

Example 1

120 × 180 cm Rug at 2,000 GSM

A lighter construction with a finished GSM of 2,000 can be estimated directly from the fixed 2.16 m² area.

Size: 120 × 180 cm
Area: 2.16 m²
GSM: 2,000

Result Approximately 4.32 kg per rug

Example 2

120 × 180 cm Rug at 2,500 GSM

A medium-weight construction at 2,500 GSM results in a higher theoretical finished product weight.

Area: 2.16 m²
GSM: 2,500

Result Approximately 5.40 kg per rug

Example 3

120 × 180 cm Rug at 3,000 GSM

Increasing GSM while keeping dimensions fixed increases theoretical rug weight in direct proportion.

Area: 2.16 m²
GSM: 3,000

Result Approximately 6.48 kg per rug

Example 4

100 Rugs at 2,500 GSM

If one rug is estimated at 5.40 kg, a 100-piece order has an approximate net product weight of 540 kg before packaging.

Weight per Rug: 5.40 kg

Rug Size

How Big Is a 120 × 180 cm Rug?

A 120 × 180 cm rug measures 1.2 metres wide and 1.8 metres long. Its total rectangular surface area is 2.16 square metres.

In imperial measurements, 120 cm is approximately 47.2 inches and 180 cm is approximately 70.9 inches. The size is therefore close to 4 × 6 feet, although 120 × 180 cm and an exact 4 × 6 ft rug are not mathematically identical.

120 × 180 cm Rug Size Conversion

Measurement	Equivalent
Width	120 cm
Length	180 cm
Width in metres	1.20 m
Length in metres	1.80 m
Approx. inches	47.2 × 70.9 in
Approx. feet	3.94 × 5.91 ft
Surface area	2.16 m²
Approx. square feet	23.25 ft²

Area

What Is the Area of a 120 × 180 cm Rug?

To calculate area, first convert centimetres to metres:

120 cm = 1.20 m
180 cm = 1.80 m

Then multiply width by length:

1.20 × 1.80 = 2.16 m²

This 2.16 m² figure is useful for weight estimates, material comparisons, square-metre pricing and preliminary logistics calculations.

Imperial Conversion

Is a 120 × 180 cm Rug the Same as a 4 × 6 ft Rug?

They are very similar in market positioning, but they are not exactly the same dimensions.

An exact 4 × 6 ft rug measures approximately 121.92 × 182.88 cm, while a metric 120 × 180 cm rug is slightly smaller.

For styling and general retail categorisation they may often be considered comparable sizes, but manufacturing specifications and purchase orders should always use the exact required dimensions.

Common Uses

Where Can a 120 × 180 cm Rug Be Used?

The suitability of any rug depends on room dimensions and furniture layout, but 120 × 180 cm is commonly considered a compact or small-to-medium decorative rug size.

Bedroom Can be positioned alongside a bed, at the foot of a smaller bed or in a reading area.
Living Room Can define a compact seating or accent area where a larger room-size rug is not required.
Home Office Suitable for creating a defined floor area around a compact desk or chair arrangement.
Entry Area Can work in larger entrances where a standard doormat would be too small.
Kids' Room Provides a manageable decorative and play-area rug format.
Retail Display A practical size for showcasing colour, pattern and construction without the bulk of a large rug.

Weight

How Much Does a 120 × 180 cm Rug Weigh?

There is no single standard weight because rug construction varies widely. However, once finished GSM is known, theoretical weight can be calculated from the fixed area of 2.16 m².

120 × 180 cm Rug Weight by GSM

Finished GSM	Approx. Weight
1,000 GSM	2.16 kg
1,500 GSM	3.24 kg
2,000 GSM	4.32 kg
2,500 GSM	5.40 kg
3,000 GSM	6.48 kg
3,500 GSM	7.56 kg
4,000 GSM	8.64 kg
5,000 GSM	10.80 kg

Construction

Why Two 120 × 180 cm Rugs Can Have Very Different Weights

Identical dimensions only determine area. They do not determine construction weight. A light flatweave and a dense hand-tufted rug can both measure 120 × 180 cm while having very different yarn consumption and finished weight.

Flatweave Has no conventional raised pile and can have a relatively different weight profile.
Hand Tufted Pile yarn, foundation, latex and backing can produce substantially more weight.
Hand-Knotted Weight depends on knot density, yarn system, pile height and foundation.
Braided Dense fibre bundles can create significant weight despite the absence of conventional pile.
Jute Woven Natural fibre thickness and weave density strongly influence finished weight.

Material

120 × 180 cm Wool, Cotton and Jute Rugs

The same 120 × 180 cm dimensions can be produced in many fibres. Buyers should define material and construction separately rather than using size as a proxy for product quality or weight.

Wool Popular for premium hand-tufted, woven and hand-knotted rug constructions.
Cotton Used for flatweaves, printed rugs, tufted styles and blended constructions.
Jute Common in natural, braided and handwoven rug collections.
Polyester Used in various machine-made, tufted and decorative constructions.
Viscose Often selected where sheen and a softer decorative appearance are required.
Recycled Fibres Can be used for sustainability-focused woven and decorative rug programmes.

Pricing

How to Calculate the Price of a 120 × 180 cm Rug from a Square-Metre Rate

If a supplier quotes a rug at a price per square metre, calculating the unit value is straightforward because the size has a fixed area of 2.16 m².

For example, if the quoted factory rate is $18 per m²:

2.16 × $18 = $38.88 per rug

If the price is $25 per m²:

2.16 × $25 = $54.00 per rug

Actual factory quotations may also depend on material, design complexity, colour count, backing, finishing, quantity, packaging and commercial terms.

$50 / m²	$108.00

Wholesale Buying

How Quantity Changes a 120 × 180 cm Rug Order

While the area of each rug remains 2.16 m², increasing the quantity changes total production area, total weight, packaging requirements and purchase value.

Total Rug Area by Quantity

Quantity	Total Rug Area
10 rugs	21.60 m²
50 rugs	108.00 m²
100 rugs	216.00 m²
250 rugs	540.00 m²
500 rugs	1,080.00 m²
1,000 rugs	2,160.00 m²

Manufacturing

What Affects the Factory Price of a 120 × 180 cm Rug?

Area is only one element of rug costing. Two rugs with the same dimensions can have very different factory prices.

Material Wool, cotton, jute, viscose, polyester and blended fibres have different raw-material economics.
Construction Hand tufting, weaving, knotting, braiding and machine production have different labour and processing structures.
GSM & Density Higher material consumption per square metre normally influences production cost.
Design Complexity Multiple colours, detailed patterns, carving and special textures can increase manufacturing time.
Backing Latex, cotton backing and secondary backing systems can add material and processing cost.
Finishing Washing, clipping, carving, edge finishing and inspection can change production requirements.
Quantity Material procurement and production setup can produce different pricing at different order quantities.
Packaging Basic export packing and branded retail packaging have different costs.

Freight Planning

How Much Would 100 Pieces of 120 × 180 cm Rugs Weigh?

Total theoretical weight depends on individual rug GSM.

Estimated Net Weight for 100 Rugs

Finished GSM	Weight per Rug	100 Rugs
1,500 GSM	3.24 kg	324 kg
2,000 GSM	4.32 kg	432 kg
2,500 GSM	5.40 kg	540 kg
3,000 GSM	6.48 kg	648 kg
4,000 GSM	8.64 kg	864 kg

Shipping

Net Rug Weight vs Packed Shipping Weight

The calculator estimates net product weight from GSM. Shipping weight can be higher because rugs require packaging.

Individual wrapping Polybag, protective film, paper or fabric wrapping adds weight.
Roll core Some rug packing methods use cardboard or other supporting tubes.
Outer packaging Cartons, woven bags, bales or protective covers add gross weight.
Pallets Palletised shipments have additional transport weight and volume.

Product Development

Important Specifications Beyond 120 × 180 cm Size

A buyer requesting a quote should provide much more than dimensions. Complete specifications improve quotation accuracy and reduce differences between buyer expectations and production interpretation.

Construction Specify hand tufted, woven, flatweave, hand knotted, braided or another method.
Material composition Define wool, cotton, jute, polyester, viscose or blend percentages.
Target GSM or weight State whether the requirement refers to pile weight or total finished weight.
Pile height Define where relevant for tufted or piled rugs.
Backing Describe required primary, latex or secondary backing.
Colours State number of colours and provide Pantone, lab dip or reference requirements.
Finishing Define carving, washing, fringe, edge finish or other requirements.
Packaging Specify labels, barcodes, wraps, cartons and retailer-specific requirements.

Buyer Strategy

Why Fixed-Size Rug Calculators Are Useful for Wholesale Buyers

Buyers often work with standard size programmes rather than one individual rug. A fixed-size calculator allows purchasing and sourcing teams to quickly compare changes in GSM, rate and quantity while holding dimensions constant.

This can help when comparing constructions, preparing early budgets, developing assortment plans and discussing target pricing with suppliers.

Important

This Calculator Provides Planning Estimates

The calculator uses a fixed 120 × 180 cm rectangular size and mathematical formulas for area, weight and commercial value. Actual rug weight and supplier pricing can differ because of construction, material, backing, production tolerance, finishing, packaging, quantity and commercial terms.

Use physical samples and confirmed factory quotations for final purchasing, quality and shipping decisions.

For importers & buyers

Before Ordering 120 × 180 cm Rugs

When comparing quotations, make sure every manufacturer is pricing substantially the same product specification. Identical dimensions do not mean identical quality or construction.

Confirm finished size

Specify 120 × 180 cm as the finished dimensions and agree acceptable size tolerance.

Confirm construction

A hand-tufted rug should not be compared directly with a flatweave only because the dimensions are identical.

Clarify GSM

Check whether the quoted figure refers to pile weight or total finished product weight.

Compare material specifications

Confirm fibre composition, yarn quality and relevant backing materials.

Check finishing

Carving, washing, fringe and edge treatments can influence appearance and cost.

Compare packaging

Retail-ready packaging and basic export packing should not be treated as equivalent.
