What Is the Average Coverage Rate?"Average" is the operative word when assessing the coverage rate of a stain or dye. Manufacturers will typically give you an average range (in number of square feet per gallon), but state that the rate can vary dramatically depending on such factors as the porosity of the concrete substrate, the color intensity you wish to achieve, and whether you plan to apply the product full strength or diluted. Still, this figure can be helpful when comparing the prices of different products and when estimating how much to buy. Keep in mind that you may need to apply more than one coat of stain or dye, depending on the effects you want to achieve and whether you want to layer various colors. Consult with the supplier for further assistance in estimating coverage rates for a particular project.
