Do you know how much enamel you will need for wood or metal?

      If you decide that you want to paint some objects or surfaces by yourself, most often problems in estimating the necessary amount of enamel arise.

 Now it's spring and the temperatures allow us to paint objects or surfaces of wood, metal or even concrete. 

      So, how do you calculate that?

      You will look up at the surface to be painted until it will provide the answer?



      Or you will call a friend?



      We offer you a simple solution, easy to use and that gives the desired result: using the calculation file that you can download for free from the Product category Free Download or simply by clicking on the FREE DOWNLOAD button which can be found at the end of this article.

      How to use this file? You just have to fill in the yellow fields with height and length of the surface that will pe painted.

      Very important: All the dimensions must be completed using the meter as a measuring unit.

      After you have completed for each wall separately, in the red cell you will find the total area that you need to cover with enamel.

      What is the theoretical quantity of enamel needed? It’s easy: in the second table you just need to change the green cell depending on the number of layers recommended for proper coverage of the entire surface, and next to the product intended for use you’ll find the theoretical quantity required for this area.

      As we mentioned before, the result represents the theoretical quantity, to which we need to add at least 10%, because:

•   Accidental losses.

•   Quantities of paint soaked in roller or lost/dried in trays of paint.

•   Subsequent repairs necessary after accidental hitting (unfortunately it happens more often than we would like...).

       Note: If you cannot use the downloaded file from different reasons (probably because there were no formulas saved due to incompatibility with the version of Excel you are using), please notify us by filling this contact form Contact Us! and we will send you another version that will be useful for you.
