The area in square metres.
Take the net floor area from the plan. Deduct fixed units, hearths and anything else the covering will not run under, but do not deduct door thresholds — the covering usually runs into the opening.
Area
59.8 sq yd
1 m² = 1 / 0.83612736 ≈ 1.19599 yd², from the exact definition of the yard. Exact by definition. Convert once at the end rather than rounding at each step.
- Same area in square feet
- 538.2 sq ft

Metric plans are the norm and the US flooring trade still quotes in square yards, so anyone comparing a domestic quote with an imported product ends up here. The conversion is exact and the pitfall is procedural rather than mathematical: people round as they go. A room measured to the nearest centimetre, an area rounded to whole square metres, a conversion rounded again, then a waste allowance on top — and the order has grown by more than the waste allowance was meant to be. Carry the measured precision through to the end, convert once, and let the rounding happen where it belongs, at the point the supplier's own sales unit takes over.
