Before starting any painting project, accurately estimating the required paint quantity is crucial—not only to control costs but also to minimize waste. At Sofap, we offer a simple and efficient method to help homeowners and professionals determine the right amount of paint based on surface area, paint type, spreading rate, dilution, and application method.

Several factors influence paint consumption, including the nature, porosity, and texture of the surface, as well as the number of coats required. For instance, rough or porous surfaces like Tyrolienne tend to absorb more paint, increasing the quantity needed.

Proper surface preparation is equally important. A clean, well-prepared surface enhances adhesion, optimizes paint usage, and ensures a durable, high-quality finish. That’s why our expert teams at Sofap Inspirations Store and our network of retailers are always available to guide customers in making the best choices for their painting projects.

“At Sofap, our mission is clear: we strive to deliver cost-effective, high-quality, and sustainable painting solutions that ensure a flawless, functional, and long-lasting finish every time.”
