Why the units matter
- Carpet and vinyl are often priced by the square yard. Divide your square feet by 9 and round up.
- Sod and turf come in rolls of a set size, often 10 square feet or more. See the sod calculator.
- Lot sizes are in acres or square feet, and a quarter acre is 10,890 square feet.
- Metric products (tile, paint, insulation) quote coverage per square meter, so convert your area first.
For a room, multiply the length by the width in feet. See how to calculate square footage for L-shapes, circles and roofs, and how many square feet are in an acre for land.
