Metres to feet — when do you need this?
Room heights in UK property listings are in metres, but older generations still think in feet. Garden fence regulations (2m without planning permission) and ceiling heights (2.4m standard) are metric, yet architects' drawings from the 80s use feet and inches. This converter is most useful for property, construction, and height comparisons.

One foot is exactly 0.3048 metres. One metre is 3.28084 feet.
