01<\/p>\n\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/span>\n\n

Measure the surfaces<\/h3>\n\n\n

Add wall widths, heights and quantities. Put openings in the same room so they are deducted from that room only.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

02<\/p>\n\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/span>\n\n

Use the paint label<\/h3>\n\n\n

Enter coats, coverage per litre and can size from the product you intend to use. Choose your allowance.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Take the estimate shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n

Review net area and whole cans, then export the estimate with its assumptions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Before you begin<\/h2>\n\n\n
Does it include ceilings?<\/summary>\n

Only surfaces you enter. You can add a ceiling as another rectangular surface if it uses the same coating and coverage assumptions.<\/p>\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Is the can count guaranteed?<\/summary>\n

No. Coverage depends on the product, substrate, application and colour change. Use the label and your own allowance; separate projects when coatings differ.<\/p>\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n
