Paint Calculator
This calculator provides an estimate of the minimum amount of Stone Effect Paint required, based on our recommended application instructions, which include one coat of Stonelux Primer and a minimum of three coats of Stone Effect Paint.
It calculates paint needed for flat wall areas only. It does not account for windows, doors, alcoves, or other areas that do not require painting.
Porous or textured surfaces, as well as surfaces that have not been primed, will reduce the coverage rate and may require more paint. For more detailed advice, please contact our Customer Care Team at info@stonelux.co.uk or on 01405 720281.

Four distinctive finishes. Same beautiful colour.
SIMPLY STONE™
Contains high-quality ground stone to create an authentic matt stone finish that compliments both traditional and contemporary designs. The uniform texture provides a warm, natural look with the class and character of traditional stonework.
STONE FLECKS™
The same beautiful textured finish as SIMPLY STONE™, but with additional stone flecks for a more naturally speckled appearance. Creates a stone finish full of depth that will add immense character, warmth and authenticity to any project.
ANTIQUED STONE™
A classic stone finish that contains natural ground stone, combined with large stone flecks to create a simulated aged stone appearance. The prominence of the flecks provides the appearance of stonework naturally altered over time, for a worn rustic feel.
SMOOTH STONE™
The least textured of our stone finishes acquires its elegant stone appearance from natural stone flecks. Creates a matt stone effect finish that is naturally lighter in texture, uniform in colour and has a soft appearance that is pleasing to both the eye and touch.
