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

Leyland Trade gives no single number of coats for it: “Apply one or more coats as required and allow 16-24 hours drying between coats under normal conditions” and “Strong or contrasting colours may require additional coats”.

What it is for, in the maker's words: “A hard wearing, knock-resisting, satin finish which is self-undercoating and easy to use on interior wood and metalwork” (Leyland Trade Satinwood data sheet, read 11 October 2026).

The woodwork of a 3 × 4 m room (one face of a door and its architrave, a window's frame and board, and the skirting: 3.73 m²) needs 0.205 L in one coat (1 × 750 ml) or 0.41 L in two (1 × 750 ml).

## Coverage

Leyland Trade states about 20 m² a litre. The maker's words: “1 litre will cover approximately 20 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 wood takes more. Leyland Trade's own words: “1 litre will cover approximately 20 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 brush and for touching up: BuildBatch's generic example, not the maker's. The tin-by-tin figures add nothing.
- Doors, windows and skirting of another size: The table counts one door, one window and skirting 119 mm high with an architrave 69 mm wide, the planner's typical sizes. Panelled doors, deep skirting, more doors or a radiator take more: the planner counts your own.
