Q1: How do I measure irregularly shaped rooms?
A: Divide the room into rectangular sections, calculate each area separately, then sum them up.
Q2: Should I measure wall-to-wall or skirting-to-skirting?
A: For flooring calculations, measure wall-to-wall. For painting, measure the actual wall surface area.
Q3: How accurate should my measurements be?
A: For most purposes, measuring to the nearest centimeter (0.01m) is sufficient.
Q4: Does this account for doors and windows?
A: No, this calculates total floor area. For painting calculations, you would subtract window/door areas.
Q5: Can I use this for outdoor spaces?
A: Yes, the same calculation works for patios, decks, and other outdoor areas.
