Stucco Calculator – 3-Coat System 22 mm
Stucco calculator sizes the classic 3-coat system: 9.5 mm scratch, 9.5 mm brown, 3 mm finish - about 0.022 m³ and 12 kg cement per m².
Figures are estimates from this calculator’s standard formula — adjust the inputs in the tool below for your exact number.
How the stucco calculator works
Instead of working from a supplier's ballpark figure, this calculator derives your stucco requirement from Stucco Volume = Area × 0.022 m (scratch 9.5 + brown 9.5 + finish 3 mm) using the exact wall area and coat schedule you provide. The arithmetic stays transparent: each result links back to the displayed formula, so you can audit any number. For instance: A 60 m² facade takes 1.32 m³ of stucco - roughly 16 bags of cement and 1.5 m³ of sand. Keep in mind: Cure each coat slowly - 48 h misting prevents map cracking. Quantities are rounded conservatively so offcuts, spillage and delivery shortages never stop work mid-job.
