If you are going to paint the walls, floor or ceiling, or maybe all together, before buying paint, you need to calculate the required amount of paint so that the paint is enough and there is not a lot of excess left. It is advisable to buy paint from one batch so that the shade is the same. You can calculate the amount of paint required using an online calculator or manually.

To determine the required amount of paint, we calculate the area to be painted.

S = S1 + S2 + S3 –S4

Where,

• S - total painting area;
• S1 - floor area;
• S2 - ceiling area;
• S3 - wall area;
• S4 is the area of doors and windows that cannot be painted.

Then it is necessary to calculate the amount of paint required to cover one layer of this surface. Approximate volume of paint for one coat of 1 sq. M., Depending on the type of paint:

• Water paint - 0.15 l.;
• Enamel - 0.12 l.;
• Silicone paint Extra - 0.083l.;
• Plastic paint Standard - 0.083l.;
• Safari Plastik Boya plastic paint - 0.083l.;
• Silicone paint Standard - 0.083l.;
• Acrylic paint Universal - 0.083l.;
• Latex, waterproof paint - 0.1 l.;
• Elastic paint, antifungal - 0.1 l.;
• Sahra plastic paint - 0.125L.

For example, for painting with one layer of 140 sq. m. we need enamels:

140 * 0.12 = 16.8 liters
