Let’s understand with the help of an example, how to use the above Paint quantity calculator.
Assumptions For Example
Perimeter of Internal wall length Wise = 20 m = l
Perimeter of External wall length Wise = 30 m = b
Height of wall = 5 m = h
Carpet Area = 20 m2 = A
Window (Length, Width, Quantity) = (2 m , 2 m , 1)
Door (Length, Width, Quantity) = (3 m , 2 m , 1)
Putty consumption for 2 coat = 1.3 m2/Kg
Primer consumption for 1 coat = 9 m2/L
Paint consumption for 2 coat = 6.5 m2/L
Calculation Procedure
Step 1: Calculation of Surface Area to be Painted Surface Area=(((l +b) x h)+A -(Area of window +Area of Door)) = ((20+30)x5 + 20 – (2x2x1) – (3x2x1)) = 260 m2
Step 2: Calculation of Amount of Putty Amount of Putty for 2 coat = Surface Area / 1.3 = 260 / 1.3 = 177 Kg
Step 3: Calculation of Amount of Primer Amount of Primer for 1 coat = Surface Area / 9 = 260 / 9 = 25.55 L
Step 4: Calculation of Amount of Paint Amount of Paint for 2 coat = Surface Area / 6.5 = 260 / 6.5 = 40 L
Final Result
Surface Area to be Painted = 230 m2 Amount of Putty = 177 Kg Amount of Primer = 25.55 L Amount of Paint = 36 L
