How to read coverage and pack sizes

Litres vs kg, two-coat coverage and why dilution changes yield — a practical buying guide.

Emulsions list coverage as sq.ft. per litre for two coats on normal masonry — porous walls use more.

Putty and some latex lines use kg; follow the TDS for thickness (e.g. putty up to 1.5 mm).

Higher dilution increases spread but can reduce film strength — stay within recommended % with clean potable water.

Use the paint estimator for a starting number, then confirm with a dealer or our team for your substrate.
