1m = 39.37 inches.

 

1 square metre = 39.37 x 39.37 - 1550 square inches.

 

1 square metre at 1.5 inches thick = 2325 cubic inches (which divided by 1728 equals 1.35 cubic feet)

 

So 100 square metres of flooring will require 135 cubic feet of green oak, but that makes no allowance for wastage (cutting off the waney edges, undesirable knots, splits and shakes). I'd allow a minimum of 200 cubic foot, but probably a bit more. If you can only use 9" wide boards, there will be a lot of wastage in width.

 

I can supply this if required.
