Area Converter

To convert square feet to square meters, divide by 10.764 (1 m² = 10.764 ft²). For quick estimation, divide by 10. For square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.764. This conversion is essential for real estate, flooring, and construction projects when working with international specifications.

One hectare equals 2.471 acres. Hectares (metric) are used globally for land measurement, while acres are traditional in the US and UK. A hectare is 10,000 m², making calculations easier in the metric system. Both units are crucial for agriculture, real estate, and land development.

Interior designers typically use square feet in the US and square meters internationally. Key conversions include room sizes, carpet area, and paint coverage. Understanding area conversions helps when shopping for international furniture, calculating material needs, and working with global design resources.

Paint coverage is typically listed per square meter or square foot. Standard paint covers about 10-12 m² per liter or 350-400 ft² per gallon. For flooring, add 10% extra for waste. Accurate area calculations prevent buying too much or too little material.

Real estate commonly converts between square feet and square meters, acres and hectares, and square meters to room sizes. International property listings require these conversions. One square meter equals about 10.76 square feet, helpful when comparing properties globally.
