List Paint

Paint

The following calculator and data pages are included in any PBV site with the tag PAINT.  Tag pages contain lists of vCalc items that have that tag, PAINT in this case, and they provide information associated with the concept.  Calculators and collections are bundled functions and data that appear on one page for convenience of the end users. Equations are single function calculator pages.  Data items are either static (e.g., constants) or variable (e.g., current pricing) data items useful in equations. Datasets are tables of information. WikiClips are web content snips that are useful for recurring content such as descriptions, lists of functions or images.  These can be imbedded in any other token and allow for easy maintenance and distribution of updated information.

Equations (24)

1. Area of a Ceiling: Computes the surface area of the ceiling of a room in square feet.  It also returns the number of 4x8 drywall sheets needed for the ceiling and the gallons of ceiling paint required to paint one coat.
2. Barn Paint Calc: Computes the amount of paint needed for the surface area of a barn (not the roof) including the sides under a gambrel roof and the sides.  This is based on the barn's span, total height, and height and width of the loft, barn length and coverage of the barn paint.
3. Ceiling Paint: Computes the number of gallons of paint and primer needed to cover a ceiling of a rectangular room based on the length and width of the room, coverage area of the paint (e.g., 400 ft²/gal) and the number of coats.  
4. Ceiling Paint Cost: Estimates the cost of paint or primer needed to cover a ceiling of a rectangular room based on the length and width of the room.  
5. Coating for a Foundation Wall: Computes the number of pails (5 gal) needed to coat a foundation wall based on the length and height.
6. Concrete and Masonry Water-proofing: Computes the number of cans (1 gal) of concrete and masonry water-proofer needed to cover an area based on the width and height and number of coats.
7. Corrugated Metal Panel Paint or Coating Volume: Computes the amount of paint or other coating (e.g., spray insulation) on an area of corrugated panels based on the dimensions, a corrugation factor and thickness of coating.
8. Cost to Paint a Wall: Estimates the cost of paint or primer needed to cover a wall or other area defined by a length and a height or width.
9. Deck Stain and Sealer: Computes the number of quarts of stain and sealer needed for a deck based on the size and whether rough or smooth.
10. Driveway Coating: Computes the number of pails (4.75 gal) needed to coat or seal a driveway.  It provides a minimum and maximum number of pails and the surface area in square feet, all based on the length and width of the driveway.
11. Exterior Paint for a House: Computes the number of gallons of exterior paint for a gabled building like a common house based on the dimensions, number of large and small windows, number of doors and the number of coats of paint.
12. Foundation Coating: Computes the number of pails (5 gal) needed to coat all four walls of a foundation. It provides a minimum and maximum number of pails and the surface area of the foundation below grade in square feet, all based on the length, width and height of foundation below grade.
13. Paint Cost Info: Provides the cost of interior paint or primer based on an Internet survey of prices in the United States.
14. Paint for a Room: Computes the number of gallons of paint or primer needed to paint an entire room, the four walls and ceiling and also for just the walls.
15. Paint for a Wall: Computes the number of gallons of paint or primer needed to paint a wall or any rectangular area (wall or ceiling).
16.  Paint for Corrugated Surfaces: Computes the amount of paint needed for a corrugated surface based on the dimensions of the corrugated surface area (length and width), a corrugation factor, coverage per gallon of paint used and the number of coats of paint.
17. Paint for Gambrel Wall: Computes the gallons of paint needed to cover a wall under a gambrel shaped roof.
18. Paint for Pipes: Computes the amount of paint needed to cover the exterior surface area of one or more pipes based on the pipe diameter, length, number of coats, number of pipes and the recommended area coverage of the paint. 
19. Pipe Coating Amount: Computes the amount of coating material for the exterior surface area of a pipe based on the pipe diameter, length and the thickness of the coating. 
20. Roof Coating: Computes the number of pails (e.g., 5 gal) needed to coat a flat roof.
21. Room Paint Cost: Estimates the cost of paint or primer needed to cover a rectangular room (blue in diagram) based on the length, width and height of the room.
22. Room Surface Area (walls and ceiling): Computes the surface area of the interior of a rectangular room including the walls and ceiling based on the length, width and height of the room.
23. Total Surface Area of a Room: Computes the surface area of the interior of a rectangular room including the walls, ceiling and floor based on the length, width and height of the room.
24. Wood Stain over Area: Computes the amount of wood stain to finish wood surfaces based size of the area (ft², yd², m²) to be stained and the stain product coverage defined by a container size and coverage per container.
25. Wood Stain over Length by Width: Computes the amount of wood stain to finish wood surfaces based on a length, width and the stain product coverage defined by a container size and coverage per container.
