Transparent calculation

BuildMeter converts every input to a consistent internal unit, applies the selected allowance, and rounds products up to whole purchasable units.

Required volume = surface area × coats ÷ coverage rate × allowance factor. Containers are rounded up to the entered package size.

FAQ

Concrete Sealer Calculator questions

Why can porous concrete need more sealer?+

Open or weathered surfaces absorb more product than dense, previously sealed concrete.

Should every sealer receive two coats?+

No. Use the product instructions for coat count, spreading rate and recoat timing.

Does this include surface preparation?+

No. Cleaning, repairs, etching or grinding are separate project items.
