How to Read Coverage and Yield on Material Packaging

Coverage may be stated per coat, per thickness, per bag or for a range of surfaces. Read the technical note beside the number. A paint value assumes a certain film thickness, while adhesive and render consumption changes with layer thickness. Use the conservative end of a range on rough or absorbent surfaces.

Worked example

ceil(20 m² × 1.08 / 2.2 m²) = 10
