Square meters to square feet is a property and renovation conversion. Apartment listings in Europe and Asia give floor area in square meters, while US and Canadian buyers, flooring suppliers and paint calculators work in square feet.
Commercial leasing is a common case. Office rents in London are quoted per square foot, while much of Europe quotes per square meter per month or year. A rent of £60 per square foot per year is £645.8 per square meter per year, because one square meter contains 10.764 square feet.
Flooring and paint also rely on this pair. A tin of paint covering 12 m² covers about 129 ft², and a box of laminate covering 2.2 m² covers 23.7 ft². When converting a room to buy materials, convert the area once and then add a waste allowance.
Solar panels and roofs are also measured this way. A typical residential solar panel is about 1.7 m², which is 18.3 ft², and a 20-panel array covers about 34 m², or 366 ft².
Hotels in Asia and Europe advertise room sizes in m². A 25 m² room is 269 ft², similar to a standard US hotel room.
Parking spaces are about 12.5 m² in many European codes, which is 134.5 ft².
A quick check is that the square foot figure should be roughly ten times the square meter figure. A 120 m² house should be close to 1,300 ft² (1,291.7 exactly). If you got about 394 ft², you used the length factor 3.28 instead of the area factor 10.764. When comparing listings, also check whether balconies, storage and shared areas are included in each figure.
