How Much Limewash Paint Do I Need?

Use the Bauwerk Limewash Paint Calculator to estimate how much paint you'll need based on the surface being painted and the total area to be covered.

Coverage is calculated using the surface area entered and the typical coverage rate of Bauwerk Limewash Paint on the type of surface you're painting.

Yes. New plasterboard, previously painted walls and absorbent surfaces can all affect paint consumption.

Coverage will vary depending on the surface being painted and its porosity. As a guide, each litre of Bauwerk Limewash Paint covers:

• Raw masonry surfaces: 7–10m² (75–107ft²) per coat
• Over Prep Coat: 10–15m² (107–161ft²) per coat
• Previously painted or sealed surfaces: 15–20m² (161–215ft²) per coat

Coverage rates should be used as a guide only. The amount of paint required will vary depending on the absorbency and texture of the surface.

For the most accurate estimate, we recommend using the Paint Calculator and testing a sample pot on your chosen surface, as both colour appearance and paint consumption can vary depending on the substrate and lighting conditions.

Yes. Bauwerk Limewash Paint is typically applied in two coats. The Paint Calculator uses two-coat coverage rates when estimating the amount of paint required for your project.
