A worked example: what it costs to carpet a 100 m² prayer hall in acrylic, wool or polypropylene, with underlay and installation included.
Per-square-meter prices are hard to picture. This guide takes one typical prayer hall, 100 m² (about 1,076 sq ft), and works out the carpet cost for the most common choices. The figures use the indicative factory ranges from our price table at the time of writing; shipping and import duties are not included, because they depend on your country.
Carpet cost by material and design
| Carpet | Price per m² | 100 m² |
|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene, plain or row-aligned | $9.38 – $15.63 | $938 – $1,563 |
| Acrylic, plain or row-aligned | $9.38 – $18.75 | $938 – $1,875 |
| Acrylic, mihrab or medallion | $15.63 – $25.00 | $1,563 – $2,500 |
| Wool, plain or row-aligned | $18.75 – $34.38 | $1,875 – $3,438 |
| Wool, mihrab or medallion | $26.58 – $45.31 | $2,658 – $4,531 |
Add-ons
- Underlay: $1.58 – $3.13 per m², so $158 – $313 for 100 m². Worth it on cold stone or concrete floors.
- Installation: $0.95 – $2.20 per m², so $95 – $220 for 100 m².
- Waste: carpet is woven in rolls of a fixed width, so a few percent extra is usually needed, more in halls with many columns.
Worked example: acrylic mihrab carpet
A 100 m² hall in acrylic mihrab-pattern carpet, with underlay and installation:
- Carpet: $1,563 – $2,500
- Underlay: $158 – $313
- Installation: $95 – $220
- Total before waste and shipping: about $1,816 – $3,033
What moves the price within a range
Within each band, the price rises with weaving density, pile height and the number of colours in the design. A fully custom design sits above these bands. For a full explanation, see wool vs acrylic mosque carpet.
Scaling up
For larger halls, multiply by your area. A 400 m² mosque in the same acrylic mihrab carpet costs roughly four times as much, though large orders often get a lower unit price. Measure your own hall with our measuring guide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to carpet a mosque?
Plain or row-aligned polypropylene is the lowest-cost option. For a longer life at a moderate price, row-aligned acrylic is the usual choice.
Do these prices include shipping?
No. Freight, insurance and import duties depend on your country and the Incoterms you choose. Our guide on importing mosque carpet from Turkey explains them.
