Asian Paint Interior Formula:
The Asian Paint Interior Calculator helps determine the exact amount of paint needed for interior painting projects. It calculates the required litres of paint based on the area to be painted, the coverage rate of the paint, and the number of coats needed.
The calculator uses the paint calculation formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the total area by the paint's coverage rate to determine the paint needed for one coat, then multiplies by the number of coats to get the total requirement.
Details: Accurate paint calculation helps avoid wastage, ensures you purchase the right amount of paint, saves money, and prevents project delays due to insufficient materials.
Tips: Measure the total wall area accurately, check the paint can for coverage rate specifications, and consider the surface condition when determining the number of coats needed.
Q1: How do I calculate the wall area accurately?
A: Measure the length and height of each wall, multiply to get area, then subtract areas of windows and doors. Sum all wall areas for total.
Q2: What is a typical coverage rate for interior paint?
A: Most interior paints cover 10-12 square metres per litre, but this varies by paint quality and surface texture.
Q3: How many coats are usually needed?
A: Most projects require 2 coats for even coverage and color consistency. Dark colors or porous surfaces may need 3 coats.
Q4: Should I add extra paint for wastage?
A: Yes, it's recommended to add 10-15% extra to account for wastage, touch-ups, and future repairs.
Q5: Does this calculation include primer?
A: No, primer calculation is separate. Calculate primer needs using the same formula but with primer coverage rates.
