Lm is a vague term created by people in some particular industry. It could probably mean 'linear meter', which is a term used to clarify a distinction between width and length when selling fabric "off the roll" such as carpet or clothing material. Example: a piece of fabric may be 1.2 meter wide and its price is always expressed as 'so many dollars per linear meter', regardless of its width. They use the term "linear" to make it clear to the buyer that its width is not considered as a pricing factor for the quantity of the material that is being sold. Carpet can be made in several different widths, but the pricing is always 'so many dollars per linear meter'. It is never sold according to its total area. Carpet tiles and ceramic tiles are sold as so many dollars per square meter, not per linear meter.
