How To Guides
How to calculate how much texture paint you need
Measure all areas
Measure all areas to be painted. Consider all edges and visible surfaces.
Calculate the area
Multiply height x width.
Different coverage rate
Different products have different coverage rate
(Product) / (Coverage rate m²/L) *Approximate (depending on surface porosity)
Primer: 3-4m²/L
Fine: 3-4m²/L with lambswool roller
Medium: 2-3m²/L
Full Cover: 0.5-1m²/L
Prepare surface
Is primer required? Dulux Texture Fine, Medium, and Full Cover require one coat of Dulux Texture Primer™ to prepare the surface.
Pay attention
Remember to consider how many coats are required. It is recommended for Dulux Texture Fine, Medium and Full Cover to use two coats for the best finish, additional coats may be required depending on the depth of mortar joints and levelling requirements.
