Follow these 3 steps to find out how much paint you’ll need:
1. MEASURE the wall dimensions: height (m) x width (m).
2. SUBTRACT the areas covered by windows: height (m) x width (m).
3. ADD the areas covered by doors: height (m) x width (m).
Divide final amount by 10m² to get the number of litres of paint/coat you need. 1 litre paint covers 10m².
TIP: Always note your paint code by writing it down or taking a photograph of the label.
Both Plascon and Dulux offer online paint calculators on their websites.
