How much resin will I need?

For solid surfaces, it's easy to calculate the amount of resin you’ll need to cover a given area. For uneven surfaces or those including embedments like pennies, crushed glass or bottle tops; some compensation will be required.

1kg = 1mm over 1sqm

You will require 1 kg of resin per millimetre of thickness required over a 1 sqm area. Therefore, to calculate how much resin to mix, simply multiply the thickness you require (in millimetres) by the area of your surface (in square metres). Don't forget that porous (absorbent) materials like wood should be sealed before the main pour. Typically for a grouted penny floor we would recommend 2mm thickness over the pennies which equates to 2kg per square meter. Other projects the depth may vary.

Use the table below as a quick guide to how much resin you would need to cover different areas at a range of thicknesses:

	Surface Area to Cover
Thickness	25cm x 25cm (0.0625sqm)	50cm x 50cm (0.25sqm)	50cm x 100cm (0.5sqm)	100cm x 100cm (1sqm)	200cm x 100cm (2sqm)
1mm	62.5g	250g	500g	1kg	2kg
2mm	125g	500g	1kg	2kg	4kg
3mm	188g	750g	1.5kg	3kg	6kg
4mm	250g	1kg	2kg	4kg	8kg
5mm	313g	1.25kg	2.5kg	5kg	10kg
