surface?

Hello my dear colleagues
I �m struggling with a sentence and was hoping to get your advice:
The minimum stand exhibition surface is 10 m� and
the maximal exhibition surface is 60 m�.
Somehow it sounds weird me and I �m not sure about the word "surface" since it seems to be just translated from the french surface, but I don �t know if it has the same meaning in the 2 languages. What is meant is actually the area of a stand in an exhibition. Do you have any idea if this sentence is correct?
Thanks a lot for all your help:)

Hi, Sara! :))
What about "space" or "area"?? Sounds better to me.

Edit: I know that you speak German, so just think of how you would translate the word (Ausstellungs-)"Fl�che" into English. ;))

Silke,
"Space" sounds good. We might also say "exhibition area".

lol wow, Silke, that you remember that ;) :).
Space was also what I was thinking of, but talking to my colleague here who was convinced that surface stays surface, he made me insecure. Thanks a million :)
Big hugs Sara |

The minimum exhibition stand area is 10 m� and the maximal exhibition stand area is 60 m�. But as we already know that it an exhibition stand we�re talking about it isn�t necessary to repeat exhibition. Me thinks.
Enjoy. |

Dear Dennis,
What exactly are we supposed to enjoy? Your lovely explanation?? 
Sometimes I really wonder what this phrase "Enjoy!" really means.
Enjoy your day!!

You could also say, "The minimum surface area of the exhibition stands are 10m2... "
Cheers,
