Paint Quantity Calculation

 

Paint Quantity Kaise Nikalein? (The Engineer's Formula)

Ek thumb rule yaad rakhein: 1 Litre Premium Emulsion lagbhag 100 se 120 sq. ft. area cover karta hai (2 Coats mein).

Step 1: Carpet Area se Wall Area Nikalein

Zyadatar log galti ye karte hain ki wo floor ka area naapte hain. Deewar ka area nikalne ka shortcut ye hai:

Total\ Wall\ Area = Carpet\ Area \times 3.5

(Example: Agar aapka kamra 100 sq. ft. ka hai, toh deewaron ka area lagbhag 350 sq. ft. hoga.)

Step 2: Doors aur Windows Minus Karein

Darwazon aur khidkiyon par deewar wala paint nahi lagta, isliye unka area (approx 15-20%) total area se ghata dein.

Step 3: Quantity Formula

$$Required\ Paint\ (Litres) = \frac{Total\ Wall\ Area}{Coverage\ of\ Paint}$$

Cost Saving Pro-Tips (BuildWithLogic Special)

1. Bulk Buying: Hamesha 1 litre ya 4 litre ke bajaye 20 Litre ki bucket kharidein. Isse aapko per litre cost 15-20% sasti padegi.

2. Primer Importance: Agar aap naya ghar paint kar rahe hain, toh 2 coat primer zaroor lagayein. Primer sasta hota hai aur ye mehange paint ko deewar mein sokhne se rokta hai, jisse paint kam lagta hai.

3. Putty Check: Deewar jitni smooth hogi (Wall Putty se), paint utna hi kam kharch hoga aur finish utni hi chamakdar aayegi.
