BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Translate a supplied ordinary decorative coating dry-film thickness and volume solids into theoretical wet coating volume. Never selects a thickness or validates a coating system; excludes protective and fire-rated applications.

Wet-film thickness = specified dry thickness / volume-solids fraction; wet volume = area × wet thickness × coats.Calculated with normalised units

A worked example

Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.

Theoretical wet coating volume: 10 L

Ideal arithmetic without absorption, texture, transfer loss or package rounding. Decorative coatings only; no protective, fire-rated or regulated coating specification.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
