Calculate With Paint Calculator Below
How to use paint calculator
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
Paint calculation procedure
Let's understand with the help of an example, how to use the above paint Calculator for Wall
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
