Wastage allowance
% extra added on top of the calculated volume, to allow for offcuts, second coats on patches, and spillage.
Approximate sizing guide only, based on commonly-used paint and render coverage rates -
not a guarantee of exact quantities. Actual coverage varies by surface texture,
porosity, application method and product batch - always check the manufacturer's stated
coverage rate on the tin before buying.

Figures are a generic approximation of commonly-quoted coverage rates on smooth,
properly-prepared surfaces - rough, porous or textured surfaces (bare masonry, old render,
bare plaster) typically need significantly more paint. Always check the manufacturer's
stated coverage rate on the tin, since real products vary.
