Calculating the coverage of a coating film is an important factor in this kind of work. On building sites, the practical coverage depends on a number of factors, for example, loss due to the surface properties, application, application method and spillage. These are the main factors when calculating material requirements for a particular job. However, the material consumption is first determined from the solid weight or solid volume.

The point named here can be used as a basis both for the painter and also for paperwork when determining the loss of material and carrying out theoretical calculations.
