Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate square footage?

For a rectangle: Length × Width = square feet. For a triangle: (Base × Height) ÷ 2. For a circle: π × radius². For irregular shapes, break them into rectangles and add the results.

How do you convert square feet to square meters?

Multiply square feet by 0.0929 to get square meters. Or divide by 10.764. For example, 1,200 sq ft × 0.0929 = 111.5 m². The reverse: multiply square meters by 10.764.

How much extra flooring should I buy for waste?

Add 10% for standard rooms with straight walls. Add 15% for diagonal cuts or herringbone patterns. Add 15–20% for rooms with many angles or irregular shapes. Always buy extra — matching dye lots later can be difficult.

How is square footage measured for real estate listings?

In the US, finished livable area is measured from interior walls, typically excluding garages, unfinished basements, and exterior walls. Methods vary by region and realtor — always verify listing claims with your own measurements or an appraiser.
