What it is for, in the maker's words: “Suitable for wall and ceiling surfaces in most interior situations” (Leyland Trade Hardwearing Acrylic Eggshell data sheet, read 12 October 2026).

The walls of a 3 × 4 m room, 2.4 m high, need 5.641 L: 1 × 5 L + 1 × 2.5 L to buy. At 10 m² a litre, BuildBatch's generic example for a wall that is not the maker's best case, the same room needs 6.77 L: 1 × 5 L + 1 × 2.5 L.

## Coverage

Leyland Trade states about 12 m² a litre. The maker's words: “1 litre will cover approximately 12 square metres, 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: “1 litre will cover approximately 12 square metres, 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.

## Coats

Leyland Trade gives 2 coats for Leyland Trade Hardwearing Acrylic Eggshell, in these words: “On certain surfaces a third coat may be necessary”.

## Tin sizes

| 5 L | about 60 m² | about 30 m² |
