Quantity estimate
The result is given as a range, never as a single figure. The quantity of material stated by the manufacturer can be read two ways, and they have not yet confirmed which one applies: rather than decide for them, we show both bounds.

02Mixing
The right dose, pack by pack
Powder is bought by the pack, water is measured by the litre, and the two meet when mixing: that is where the right dose is decided. The volumes below are the manufacturer's, pack by pack.
- 25 kg
- 15 to 16 L of water
- 10 kg
- 6 to 6.5 L of water
- 5 kg
- 3 to 3.2 L of water
The time you have
- A-01
Working time of the mix: over 2 h 20 at 20 °C.
- A-02
High temperatures shorten the working time, low temperatures extend it.
- A-03
Mix only what you can apply within that time rather than a whole pack: paste that has started to set cannot be recovered.
Site conditions
- B-01
Application and drying temperature: +5 °C to +30 °C (substrate temperature).
- B-02
Allow 2 hours of drying between coats.
- B-03
Interior use only.
Avoid breathing in dust when mixing — safety data sheet on request.

Where these figures come from
The calculator uses no invented value: every application relies on a consumption figure taken from the Bricolisse technical data sheet or from the back of the 25 kg pack. None of those figures has yet been reconfirmed by the manufacturer for online use, and none is reproduced here: they only come out as a range, with its caveat.
| Application | You enter | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| SmoothingConsumption per square metre and per millimetre of thickness | Area and thickness | Technical data sheet, page 1 | To be confirmed |
| FillingMass of powder for one litre | Volume to fill | Technical data sheet, page 1 | To be confirmed |
| Decorative, fine textureConsumption per square metre, fine texture | Area | Back of the 25 kg pack | To be confirmed |
| Decorative, heavy textureConsumption per square metre, heavy texture | Area | Back of the 25 kg pack | To be confirmed |
Why a range and not a single figure
The quantity stated by the manufacturer does not say whether it means dry powder — what you buy in the pack — or filler already mixed, once the water is in. Those are not the same quantities to order, and the gap is far from negligible over a whole job. Until the point is settled in writing, we show both readings. Order to the upper bound: running out of powder mid-pass costs far more than one pack too many.
The applications missing from the tool
Bricolisse covers eight functions, but only smoothing, filling and decorative work have a documented consumption. Bonding, jointing, roughing out and evening out are therefore not estimated: approximating them from the smoothing figure would produce a number with no basis.
note R-01
Figure currently being confirmed by the manufacturer — the quantities shown remain indicative, excluding material losses, cuts and reworking. They replace neither a proper measure-up nor your stockist's advice.

Where to buy
The network does not cover every department yet. If yours has no outlet, direct delivery from the factory takes over.
Its terms — minimum order, area, lead time — are confirmed to you in writing before any commitment: they are not settled as of today.
