How much paint needed for 10x10 room?

Hi,

Recently I got done with the renovation of my flat in Vikas Nagar, Delhi. My houses needed some repair work, and much needed whitewash or as we call it painting work. For this I got into talks with a few contractors and most of them gave me a quote which stood between Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15000. My flat area is 55 gaj. I enquired with them to know how much paint needed for 10x10 room? So they explained a few things to me. I can help you with that information.

I wanted to get a double coat of paint and ceiling area to be included so I asked them about pricing for paint and they said that it would take almost 3-5 liters of paint to cover all of it.

When I asked about the single coating of paint, it stood at 3 liters approximately.

Mind you the quantity also depends on the fact that if you are trying to coat above a darker colour. That would take more time as well as paint.

I hope you have better clarity on how much paint needed for 10x10 room now.

Hey! I am a renovation expert and have dealt with multiple projects related to painting work. A lot of people want to know beforehand about the paint requirement. This helps them calculate the cost. As in your question, you wish to know how much paint is needed for a 10x10 room. So, let me guide you through the process.

How much Paint do I Need for a 10x10 Room?

There is a simple process which you can follow and find out the paint required for your 10x10 room. Below, you’ll find the same, so make sure you follow every step for accuracy with the results.

1. This is a task that you’ve already completed as the height and width of your room are 10 square feet each. Now, you need to multiply them. 

2. Moving on, decide the number of coats of paint for your room. I would recommend at least 2 coats for an even finish. 

3. Next, you must calculate the area of the portion which is not to be painted. These can be spaces like doors and windows. 

4. After calculating their areas, subtract them from the wall area, which in your case is 100 square feet. 

5. This is your area which is to be painted. 

6. You must check the coverage offered by your paint. Ideally, a litre of paint offers, 130 square feet of coverage. However, your particular paint can have a different value.

7. Lastly, take the area to be painted and divide it by the coverage per litre. The obtained figure will let you know the paint in litres required for a single coat. You must multiply it by the number of coats you wish to apply for the exact figure.

I would like to conclude my answer on this note. I hope this clarifies how much paint needed for a 10x10 room.
