Paints can be applied with a brush or roller, or by dipping, flowcoating, spraying, hot spraying, electrostatic spraying, airless spraying, electrodeposition, powder coating, vacuum impregnation, immersion, and so on.

Paint Calculation

• m²(meter Square) and ft²(feet Square) is a total area.
• Length and Width in meter/cm or feet/inch.

Note:
1 m² = 10.7639 ft³
1 litre = 0.264172 gallons

• Paint: Paint is a substance used as the final finish to all surfaces and as a coating to protect or decorate the surface. 1 liter of Paint is Cover Upto 100 Square feet of Paint Area


• Primer: Primer is a paint product that allows finishing paint to adhere much better than if it were used alone. [3] It is designed to adhere to surfaces and to form a binding layer that is better prepared to receive the paint. Compared to paint, a primer is not intended to be used as the outermost durable finish and can instead be engineered to have improved filling and binding properties with the material underneath. 1 liter of Primer is Cover Upto 100 Square feet of Paint Area


• Putty : Putty is a kind of paste prepared for applying on walls to fill in any minor dents or to level the surface. It is recommended that paint is not applied directly on putty. Always apply a coat of primer over putty and then the final coat. 2.5 kgs of Putty is Cover Upto 100 Square feet of Paint Area



Spay paint coverage is more than brush and roller paint.

Most of the brands mention coverage area on package, hence refer to the package for exact coverage area.

1 Coat means, one layer of paint. 1 Coat of paint is sufficient for repainting or tenancy painting

2 Coat means two-layer of paint. At least 2 coat of paint is required for fresh painting, new paint or color change.

Paint is used to protect all sorts of buildings and structures from the effects of water and sun. Wooden buildings such as houses are usually painted because a coat of paint prevents water seeping into the wood and making it rot. The paint also helps to prevent the wood from drying out in the hot sun.

Incredibly, some forms of paint can actually reduce the danger of a fire spreading in your house. Fire resistant paints, also known as intumescent coatings, are a passive fire protection measure that are well worth the investment. Obviously these products aren’t going to save your home from a fire, but they can form an important part of your fire safety measures in the house.
