Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Das Square (Quadrat) ist ein nicht-metrisches Flächenmaß, das in den USA und Canada verwendet wird und früher in Australien zur Angabe der Grundfläche von Häusern verwendet wurde. 1 Square entspricht einer quadratischen Fläche mit einer Seitenlänge von 10 Fuß, also 100 Quadratfuß beziehungsweise 9,290304 Quadratmeter. Dabei bezog sich die Angabe in Square nicht auf die Nutzfläche, sondern auf die gesamte Grundfläche unter dem Dach, einschließlich der Fläche unter den Dachvorsprüngen. Daher blieb das Maß auch nach der Einführung des metrischen Systems bei Immobilienhändlern beliebt, denn so konnte man ein Gebäude in der Beschreibung größer wirken lassen. Inzwischen wird die Gebäudefläche auch in Australien in der Regel in Quadratmetern angegeben. (de)

Examples where the unit is used are roofing shingles, metal roofing, vinyl siding, and fibercement siding products. Some home builders use squares as a unit in floor plans to customers. When used in reference to material that is applied in an overlapped fashion, such as roof shingles or siding, a square refers to the amount of material needed to cover 100 square feet when installed according to a certain lap pattern. For example, for a shingle product designed to be installed so that each course has 5 in (130 mm) of exposure, a square would actually consist of more than 100 square feet of shingles in order to allow for overlapping of courses to yield the proper exposed surface. Construction in Australia no longer uses the square as a unit of measure, and it has been replaced by the square metre. The measurement was often used by estate agents to make the building sound larger as the measure includes the areas outside under the eaves, and so cannot be directly compared to the internal floor area. Residential buildings in the state of Victoria, Australia are sometimes still advertised in squares. (en)
