The Jotun Wall Paint Calculator helps determine the exact amount of Jotun paint needed for your painting project based on wall area, paint coverage rate, and number of coats required.
The calculator uses the paint calculation formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the total paint volume needed by dividing the area by the coverage rate and multiplying by the number of coats.
Details: Accurate paint calculation prevents wastage, ensures you purchase the right amount, saves money, and helps complete the project without interruptions.
Tips: Measure wall area accurately, check the paint can for coverage rate specifications, and consider the surface condition when determining number of coats needed.
Q1: How do I measure wall area accurately?
A: Measure height and width of each wall, multiply to get area, and sum all wall areas. Subtract areas for windows and doors.
Q2: What is a typical coverage rate for Jotun paint?
A: Coverage rates vary by product but typically range from 8-12 square metres per litre for most Jotun wall paints.
Q3: How many coats are usually needed?
A: Most projects require 2 coats for even coverage and color consistency, but porous surfaces or color changes may need 3 coats.
Q4: Should I buy extra paint for touch-ups?
A: Yes, it's recommended to purchase 10-15% extra paint for future touch-ups and to account for application variations.
Q5: Does surface texture affect coverage?
A: Yes, rough or textured surfaces require more paint than smooth surfaces due to increased surface area.
