How it works

Area of a rectangle = length × width. We always show both metric and imperial because UK trades quote in both.

Worked example

5 m × 4 m = 20 m² = 215.28 ft². Flooring at £25/m² = £500.

Who should use this

  • Comparing room sizes

Common mistakes

  • ×Mixing metres and feet in the same calculation
  • ×Forgetting to add 10% for cuts and waste on flooring
