The amount of spray adhesive you need primarily depends on the area you intend to cover and the type of application. Based on standard coverage rates, you can estimate your requirements.
Standard Coverage Rate
One can of spray adhesive typically covers approximately 10 square meters (sqm). This figure serves as a general guideline for determining how many cans are required for full surface coverage.
Perimeter Application
For specific applications, such as applying adhesive only around the perimeter of a room, the coverage changes. If you are applying adhesive to the perimeter of a room sized below 16sqm, then one can will generally be enough.
Calculating Your Needs
To calculate the exact amount for your project, consider these points:
- Full Coverage: Measure the total square meters of the area you need to cover entirely with adhesive. Divide this number by 10 to get an estimate of the number of cans required. For example, if you need to cover 25 sqm, you would need approximately 25 / 10 = 2.5 cans. It's advisable to round up to ensure you have enough, so in this case, 3 cans.
- Perimeter Coverage in Small Rooms: If your room is less than 16sqm, and you only need to apply adhesive around the edges (perimeter), one can is usually sufficient according to the reference.
Summary Table
The following table summarizes the coverage based on the provided information:
| Application Type | Area Covered (Approx.) | Cans Needed (Approx.) | Reference Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (Full Coverage) | 10 sqm | 1 | General coverage rate per can. |
| Perimeter (< 16sqm Room) | N/A (Perimeter only) | 1 | Enough for perimeter in small room. |
Note: These are approximate coverage rates. Actual coverage may vary depending on factors like surface porosity, application technique, and the specific product.
