Berger paints in feet and litres
Berger’s figures are in square feet and litres, so the paint calculator is switched to Feet · litres: walls in feet, sq ft per litre for coverage, paint by the litre. It starts on Bison Glow interior emulsion, in the packs listed on its data sheet: 1, 4, 10 and 20 litres. The data sheet quotes 130–150 sq ft per litre for two coats, which the calculator turns into 260 sq ft per litre for each coat.
In the room that comes pre-filled, walls and ceiling take about 3.8 litres for two coats, so one 4 litre pack. Ceiling White and the WeatherCoat Long Life 15 and Anti Dustt exterior paints are in the same menu.
Ideal conditions, real walls
Every figure on these data sheets is marked as measured under ideal test conditions. Berger’s data sheet for Easy Clean spells out what changes it on site: surface conditions, surface preparation, application skill, weather and dilution. Bare plaster and rough exterior render are where the gap is widest, so try a lower figure in the box for those and compare.
Light shades, extra coats
The Bison Glow data sheet notes that very light shades may need more than two coats for best performance. Raise Coats to 3 for a pale colour over a darker one; the calculator scales the litres and packs at once.
