Size & Coverage Guide
Not sure how much paint you need? Our simple guide will help you calculate your wall area and choose the right amount of Kalklitir paint for your project.
How to Measure Your Walls
To calculate the surface area of your walls, simply multiply the width by the height.
Wall width (m) × Wall height (m) = Total area (m²)
For example, a wall measuring 4 metres wide and 2 metres high has a total surface area of 8 m².
For multiple walls, calculate the area of each wall separately and add the results together.
Remember to account for windows and doors. Measure their width and height, calculate their surface area and subtract it from your total wall area.
Lime Paint
Our Lime Paint coverage estimates include the two coats recommended to achieve the characteristic Kalklitir finish.
| Size | Approximate coverage |
|---|---|
| 1 kg bag | 8–10 m² / 86–108 sq ft (two coats) |
| 500 g bag | 4–5 m² / 43–54 sq ft (two coats) |
Coverage may vary depending on the surface, its absorbency and the application technique.
Lime Paint Sample Sachet
| Size | Approximate coverage |
|---|---|
| 60 g sachet | 90 × 90 cm / 35 × 35 inches (one coat) |
Important: If you apply colour samples directly to your wall, we recommend priming the wall before applying your final colour. This helps ensure even absorption and a consistent finish across the entire surface.
Base Coat
Our Base Coat prepares suitable surfaces for the application of Kalklitir Lime Paint.
| Size | Approximate coverage |
|---|---|
| 500 g bag | 8–10 m² / 86–108 sq ft (one coat) |
Top Coat
Our Top Coat provides an additional protective finish for surfaces painted with Kalklitir Lime Paint.
| Size | Approximate coverage |
|---|---|
| 575 g bag | 8–10 m² / 86–108 sq ft (one coat) |
Plaster Paint
Our Plaster Paint creates a beautiful, textured mineral finish with natural depth and character.
| Size | Approximate coverage |
|---|---|
| 2 kg Plaster Paint + 1 kg Lime Paint | Approximately 6 m² / 65 sq ft (two coats) |
Coverage may vary depending on the thickness of application and the texture you wish to achieve.
Plaster Paint Sample Sachet
| Size | Approximate coverage |
|---|---|
| 120 g sachet | 70 × 70 cm / 27 × 27 inches (one coat) |
Important: When testing samples directly on your wall, we recommend priming the wall before applying your final finish to ensure a more uniform surface.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
The quantities above are approximate and may vary depending on your wall's texture, absorbency and application method.

This is our second Zero waste colour for 2023.
Fieno is a medium strength gray colour with a hint of green and beige undertones making it the perfect choice for those that are looking for a "greige"
The Zero Waste program is a part of Kalklitir's green journey and was planned when we were designing our latest mixing machinery.
Our machines have incorporated in them a powerful internal vacuum system to collect the runoff that comes from mixing our colours.
We save every gram until we have enough to put it all through our mixer again and make a new "surprise" colour.
This means that every Zero Waste colour is unique and only comes in a very limited supply. Unlike our colours from our main collection. This colour can never be replicated. We make sure the quality stays exactly the same as our main colours.
*Please note that actual product colours may vary from colours shown on your monitor.
-
*Due to the complex use of pigments in this colour, make sure to mix and stir this very well. You might also have to brush this on your wall with more force to get an even colour with no pigment streaks.
