Area

538.2 sq ft

High confidence

1 m² = 10.7639 sq ft, the inverse of the exact area factor. The ten-per-square-metre shortcut is 7% low — fine for estimating, not for ordering.

Conversion factor applied
10.76 sq ft per m²

Metric drawings and imperial supply catalogues meet here, typically when a European specification is being priced against North American materials. The exact figure is 10.7639 square feet to the square metre, and the widespread habit of using ten is worth resisting once real quantities are involved: it runs seven percent short, which over a hundred square metres is seventy-odd square feet of flooring that never gets delivered. If the material is quoted in square yards, as carpet frequently still is, divide the converted result by nine. As always, convert the measured area first and apply the trade's waste allowance afterwards, since the two serve different purposes and compounding them obscures both.

Estimated cost — your price

This site holds no price list for this material — local prices vary too much to publish honestly. Enter your supplier's price and the result is costed with it.

Preliminary estimate, not certified engineering. This tool produces an indicative quantity calculation for planning purposes only — it is not a certified structural analysis, a guaranteed material takeoff, or a substitute for building department approval. Always verify measurements on-site and have a licensed contractor or structural engineer review any load-bearing, code-sensitive, or safety-critical work before purchasing materials or starting construction.

Frequently asked questions

Is ten square feet per square metre close enough?
For a rough mental check, yes. For ordering, no — the true figure is 10.76, so the ten-times shortcut leaves you about seven percent short. On a hundred square metres that is more than seventy square feet of missing material.
Does this apply to a room's floor and walls alike?
Yes, area is area. What differs is the waste allowance: floors laid in a pattern and walls with openings generate different amounts of offcut, so apply the conversion first and the trade-specific allowance afterwards.
What about square yards?
A square yard is nine square feet, so divide the converted figure by nine. Carpet and some floorcoverings are still quoted that way in North America even where everything else has moved to square feet.
