Your estimated materials

Planning estimate only. Site conditions, product specifications and installation methods vary. Verify all figures with your supplier or installer before ordering.

How the calculation works

Paintable wall area = 2 × (length + width) × height, minus openings. Litres = area × coats ÷ coverage, plus wastage.

Before you order

Actual paint coverage depends on the product, colour and wall texture. Check the tin label.
