Square Foot
A square foot (ft²) is a popular area measurement in the US, based on a square with sides one foot long. It is widely used in construction, home layouts, painting coverage, and room dimensions — making it a central unit for homeowners and professionals.
Square feet give a realistic reference for everyday living spaces and material estimates. When comparing internationally, converting to square meters becomes essential.
Square Meter
A square meter (m²) is the standard metric unit for measuring area, equal to a square with sides one meter long. It is widely used in housing, landscaping, flooring, and building projects because it fits the scale of typical indoor and outdoor spaces.
Square meters provide a consistent way to compare surface areas across different industries and countries. Converting from m² to ft² or yd² becomes essential when working with US-based measurements or international listings.
