The Italian paint coverage calculator estimates Italian paint liters needed for walls and ceiling Italian residential room, including Italian door and window subtraction, paint coats, m²/L coverage by paint type. Base formula: Liters = (Total area - Doors - Windows) * Coats / Coverage m²/L. Wall area: 2*(L+W)*H (perimeter * height, e.g. 5x4 m room 2.7 m height = 48.6 m²). Ceiling area: L*W (5*4 = 20 m²).

Italian example: 5x4 m room 2.7 m height, ceiling included, 2 doors (4 m²) + 2 windows (3 m²), 2 coats washable 11 m²/L. Area: 48.6 + 20 - 4 - 3 = 61.6 m². Liters: 61.6 * 2 / 11 = 11.2 L.

Italian calculation formula

Italian calculation in 6 steps:

• Step 1 - Italian wall area: 2 * (L + W) * H = perimeter * height (5x4x2.7 = 48.6 m²)
• Step 2 - Italian ceiling area: L * W if included
• Step 3 - Italian doors/windows subtraction: Door 2 m² (90x210 cm), window 1.5 m² (120x150 cm)
• Step 4 - Italian total paintable: Walls + Ceiling - Doors - Windows
• Step 5 - Italian liters: Area * Coats (1-3) / Coverage m²/L
• Step 6 - Italian cans: Liters / Can size (1, 2.5, 4, 10, 14 L Italian Boero/San Marco/MaxMeyer)

Italian example: 5x4x2.7 m room, ceiling included, 2 doors + 2 windows, 2 coats washable 11 m²/L. Italian total: 61.6 m². Liters: 11.2 L. Italian Boero 4 L cans: 3 cans (12 L). Italian material 75 €.
