How We Calculate Paint Requirements
Step 1: Wall Area Calculation
We calculate the wall area by multiplying Length × Height: 10 × 10 = 100 sq ft
Total Wall Area = 100 sq ft
Step 2: Paintable Area
We subtract the area of doors and windows from the total wall area to get the actual paintable area.
Paintable Area = 100 - 0 = 100 sq ft
Step 3: Paint Calculation
Paint required = (Paintable Area × Number of Coats) ÷ Paint Coverage per liter
Paint Required = (100 × 2) ÷ 120 = 1.67 L
Step 4: Can Optimization
We optimize the paint can combination to minimize waste and cost using 10L, 4L, and 1L cans.
- 10L Cans: 0 cans = 0L
- 4L Cans: 0 cans = 0L
- 1L Cans: 2 cans = 2L
Key Assumptions
- • Default paint coverage: 120 sq ft per liter
- • Average paint cost: ₹400 per liter
- • Standard door: ~21 sq ft (7' × 3')
- • Standard window: ~15 sq ft (5' × 3')
- • Premium paints may have higher coverage
Pro Tips
Paint Selection:
- • Premium paints offer better coverage
- • Consider primer for new walls
- • Dark colors may need extra coats
- • Buy 5-10% extra paint for touch-ups
Application Tips:
- • Use proper primer on new surfaces
- • Allow adequate drying time between coats
- • Use quality brushes and rollers
- • Apply thin, even coats
