Square Meters to Square Feet Converter
Convert square metres to square feet when a metric floor area needs to be read in the US real-estate style. The exact factor is 1 m2 = 10.763910416709722 ft2, the reciprocal of the international square-foot value in `units.ts`. It is handy for UK or European property listings, architectural drawings, renovation plans, flooring quotes, and office space comparisons sent to American buyers or tenants. The conversion changes only the unit, so it cannot resolve differences in local floor-area measurement rules.
1 square meter = 10.7639 square feet

How to convert
- Read the area in square metres from the advert, drawing, room schedule, or supplier quote.
- Multiply the m2 value by 10.763910416709722 to convert it into square feet.
- Leave the decimal result unrounded until you have added rooms or compared against a target size.
- For the opposite direction, multiply square feet by 0.09290304 to get square metres.
- As a mental estimate, multiply m2 by 10.8, or call 10 m2 about 108 ft2 for a quick room-size sense.
square feet = square metres * 10.763910416709722
A square foot is 0.09290304 square metres, based on the international foot. Dividing one square metre by 0.09290304 gives 10.763910416709722, so multiplying an m2 value by that factor expresses the same area in ft2.

Worked example
A 72 m2 apartment advertised in Europe is 72 multiplied by 10.763910416709722, which gives 775.0015500031001 ft2. In a US-facing listing that would usually be rounded to about 775 ft2, subject to the local area standard behind the original measurement.
Key facts
- 10 m2 equals 107.63910416709722 ft2.
- A 100 m2 home is 1076.3910416709723 ft2.

Tips
- Use one conversion for the total area, then show rounded ft2 if the listing audience expects whole numbers.
- For room planning, convert dimensions and areas consistently so furniture clearances are not mixed between systems.
- Check whether balconies, internal walls, or shared areas were included before comparing converted listings.
