0.08333m²/L

Nothing on our list is smaller: textured masonry is 48× further. A 2.5 liter tin would cover about 0.2083 m² in one coat.

What it means

How far does it go?

Tin figures are for smooth, sealed, non-absorbent surfaces. Bare plaster, textured walls and dark colors under light ones all cut coverage sharply.

The math

How to convert L/m² to m²/L

Coverage and thickness are reciprocals: wet film in µm = 1000 ÷ (m²/L), because a liter over a square meter is a millimeter thick.

Example: 12 L/m² = 0.0833333 m²/L.
