If you want to change the color of your home, you may be wondering how much paint it takes to in which room. Before choosing the paint color and calculating the cost you need to consider for the paint, you need to know the square meter details of the areas you will paint.

Materials required for square meter calculation:

• Step ladder

• Tape measure

• Pen and paper

• Calculator

How to Calculate the Square Meter of a Room?

It is not a difficult process to determine the size of the room in square meters. It is quite easy to calculate with a small formula. If you wonder how much paint takes to a room, you can start by measuring the width and length of your room. Multiplying these two sizes gives you the area of the room in square meters. The answer to the question "How to calculate the square meter of the wall" is just as simple. We can formulate the room square meter calculation process as follows:

Room Width × Room Length = Room Square Meters (you can use this process for the ceiling paint) Room Width + Room Length × 2 = Room Perimeter

How to Calculate the Surface Area?

Area calculation is found by multiplying the sizes of the long side and short side of rectangular areas. By calculating the perimeter of the room and the height from floor to ceiling, the gross wall size is reached. The wall square meter calculation formula is useful for painting single walls or ceilings. After calculating the square meter area, you can reach the required amount of paint with the help of the paint calculation tool. A different type of paint is used for the ceiling. Therefore, you need to calculate the ceiling area separately. If you wonder how much paint will take to a 3+1 house, you should first measure each room to be painted. After determining the total square meters of the house, you can find out the amount of paint you need by entering the necessary information into our easy paint calculation tool. We can formulate this process as follows:

Room Width + Room Length × 2 = Room Perimeter Room Perimeter × Wall Length (Height to the Ceiling) = Wall Area (square meters)

Do the same calculation as the square meters of any gaps such as doors, windows, and areas that will not be painted in your room, and subtract it from the resulting wall measurement.

How to Calculate the Square Meter of a House?

The house square meter calculation is determined after measuring the square meters of each room. If kitchen and bathroom will be painted as well, these areas should also be taken into account. Some points should be taken into consideration when determining the area to be painted. The net area to be painted can be obtained by subtracting door and window gaps from the area calculation. Gross wall area is obtained by multiplying the room perimeter and ceiling height. For door area and window area:

You can use the formulas Door Width × Door Length = Door Area Window Width × Window Length = Window Area. The sum of the door and window areas gives the area not to be painted.

The net area to be painted is calculated as follows: Gross Wall Area - Area not to be Painted = Net Area to be Painted

Once you have the net area to be painted, you can start calculating how much paint is to be spent. Although paint consumption varies depending on the type, absorbency, structure of the surface to be applied and application habits, you can generally evaluate the following calculation: With 1 Liter, an area of 13-22 m²/L can be painted in a single coat. In case of 2 coats of painting, approximately 3 m²/L area can be painted. * Consumption is theoretical, controlled sample study should be performed for exact consumption.
