THE PROBLEM WORTH SOLVING

A transparent quantity worksheet for a room or job.

A quick area calculation often forgets openings, extra coats or cutting waste. SurfaceCalc keeps those assumptions attached to the result.

DESIGNED FORDecorators, tilers and homeowners planning materials.

Small scope.
Thoughtful details.

These features define the concept. They are proposed capabilities, not functions available to download today.

Surface dimensions

Enter walls and floors using consistent units.

02

Opening deductions

Subtract measured doors or windows from the selected surfaces.

03

Paint coverage

Choose your product’s stated coverage and number of coats.

04

Tile coverage

Enter tile area or pack coverage for quantity estimates.

05

Waste allowance

Apply an explicit percentage rather than hiding it in the total.

06

Shopping summary

Export assumptions and rounded purchase quantities.

FROM TASK TO RESULT

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Good to know.

Does it contain every paint brand?

No. You enter the manufacturer’s coverage figure.

Can it design an electrical installation?

No. Code, structural and electrical calculations are outside the product.

Can I buy or download it today?

No. SurfaceCalc is a concept. There is no checkout, released installer or live app listing. You can send an enquiry about the proposed workflow.

What happens next?

Formula validation → room worksheets → Android beta. This sequence is a proposal, not a committed release schedule.
