How our Square Meters to Square Feet unit converter works

To ensure maximum accuracy when converting Square Meters to Square Feet, our calculator uses a scientific pivot method. Instead of relying on a potentially inaccurate direct conversion, the system first converts m2 into the base unit of the International System (the square meter), then recalculates the result into ft2. This approach drastically reduces rounding errors.

Why do real estate sites use square feet?

It's a market tradition. A 1,000 sq ft apartment sounds much bigger to buyers than a 92 sq meter one.

How do I calculate flooring needed?

Measure your room in meters, convert to square feet (multiply by 10.76), and add 10% for waste and cuts.
