Source: Leyland Trade, Leyland Trade Contract Matt data sheet, read 11 October 2026.

Leyland Trade gives no single number of coats for it: “If required, a second coat may be applied after 2 to 4 hours”.

What it is for, in the maker's words: “Leyland Contract Matt is specially formulated to provide a full bodied, high opacity, matt finish to all interior walls and ceilings making it ideal for new work application” (Leyland Trade Contract Matt data sheet, read 11 October 2026).

The walls of a 3 × 4 m room, 2.4 m high, need 2.604 L in one coat (1 × 10 L) or 5.207 L in two (1 × 10 L).

## Coverage

Leyland Trade states about 13 m² a litre. The maker's words: “Leyland Contract Matt will cover approximately 13 square metres per litre depending on the nature and porosity of the surface”.
- Bare, rough or absorbent surfaces: A maker's coverage is their best case, on a smooth sealed surface: bare, rough or absorbent walls take more. Leyland Trade's own words: “Leyland Contract Matt will cover approximately 13 square metres per litre depending on the nature and porosity of the surface”.
- A strong change of colour: Going from a dark colour to a light one, or the other way, can take another coat, and each extra coat is the paint of one coat again.
- Waste and touch-ups: The room table adds 10% for what stays in the tray and on the roller and for touching up: BuildBatch's generic example, not the maker's. The tin-by-tin figures add nothing.
- The ceiling and the woodwork: Neither is in these figures. Each is a separate paint and a separate line on a list.
