   Dulux Trade Paint Expert

   Manufacturer product page for Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss, a water-based gloss for interior wood and metal. Coverage is stated as up to 12 m2 per litre. The recommended system is 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat followed by 1 or 2 coats of Quick Dry Gloss, and three coats for a significant colour change. Preparation guidance referenced as Dulux Trade Datasheet 550. The 12 m2 per litre ceiling contradicts the widely repeated 13 to 16 m2 per litre figure for water-based gloss.

   Osmo UK

   Manufacturer product data for hardwax oil applied to timber worktops and floors. States coverage of 30 m2 per litre with one coat, and two coats for a new application; one coat is usually enough when recoating a clean, dry, already-oiled surface. Useful as the corrective for renovation guides that quote hardwax oil coverage at 8 to 12 m2 per litre, which is roughly a third of the real figure. Cross-checks against Fiddes Hard Wax Oil at approximately 20 to 24 m2 per litre per coat depending on substrate density, giving a defensible general range of 20 to 30 m2 per litre per coat.
