Coverage Rates
Calculating Material Requirments
Estimating the correct quantity of material required is an important part of every successful installation. Ordering too little can result in joint lining or delay a project, while ordering too much unnecessarily increases costs.
​
The coverage rates shown below have been calculated using typical installation conditions and are intended to provide realistic guidance when planning a project. Wherever practical, our figures include a small allowance for normal application losses to better reflect real-world usage rather than purely theoretical calculations,
Actual coverage will inevitably vary depending upon substrate condition, coating depth, application method and the experience of the installer.
Factors That Can Affect Coverage
The published coverage figures are intended as practical planning guides. Actual consumption may vary depending on:
​
-
Concrete surface roughness and porosity.
-
Flatness of the subfloor.
-
Application depth.
-
Installation technique.​
-
Ambient temperature.
-
Material wastage during application.
Highly textured or uneven concrete will require more product than smooth, well-prepared substrates.
Designed Around Real-World Installations
Unlike false claims made for marketing purposes or theoretical laboratory calculations (which we historically quoted, sorry!), the Aspartech coverage figures have been developed using practical installation experience. They are intended to provide realistic estimates that help installers order the correct quantity of material first time, reducing unnecessary waste while ensuring sufficient product is available to complete the project efficiently.
​
Every project is different and the consumption rate of Aspartech products will inevitably differ on each installation. It is always good practice to build this variation into any quote or application process.
