Asian Paints Berger Select Tartaruga Roughcast, 32Kg, Ice Grey, Exterior Textured Finish, Roughcast Coat

It’s formulated for cementitious substrates such as concrete, brick, and masonry. It creates a protective, breathable waterproof layer that reduces surface absorbency, improves bond with subsequent coatings, and adds a textured, long-lasting finish that stands up to weather and abrasion.

First prepare and clean the substrate, dampen the surface, and follow the mixing instructions on the bag with clean water to achieve a workable render consistency. Apply with a trowel to build up the textured roughcast finish, then strike to even out the surface. Allow adequate curing time before any paint or sealant is applied on top. Always wear appropriate PPE and follow local safety guidelines during mixing and application.

Key specs: 32 kg bag, cementitious synthetic render cum finish, pre-tinted Ice Grey, suitable for exterior and interior use, provides a waterproofing layer, enhances adhesion and abrasion resistance, and creates a durable, textured roughcast surface that reduces surface absorbency.

This product is a textured, cementitious render that serves as both a decorative finish and a protective waterproof layer. Unlike regular paint, it becomes a base coating that can improve weather resistance and reduce absorbency, and unlike smooth plasters, it delivers a roughcast texture and a longer-lasting exterior-grade finish.

Ideal for facades and interior walls where a textured roughcast look is desired, especially on surfaces exposed to weather. It’s suitable for exterior sheathing or masonry where waterproofing and durability are priorities, and it can serve as a base for additional coatings or paints.

Wear protective gloves, safety goggles, and a mask to avoid dust inhalation. Work in a well-ventilated area, and keep the bag sealed when not in use. Store in a dry place away from moisture. Follow the manufacturer’s SDS and disposal guidelines for any waste or leftover material.

Avoid applying on a wet or unstable surface and don’t apply in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or freezing temperatures. Ensure the substrate is properly prepared and cured between coats if multiple layers are needed. Test a small area first to confirm color and texture. Keep tools clean to maintain a consistent finish.

Coverage depends on the desired coat thickness and the substrate texture. Start by measuring the wall area and consult the bag’s coverage guidance. Plan for some waste and adjust based on substrate irregularities. If you’re applying multiple coats, budget additional material for the second coat and finishing steps.

This product is described as pre-tinted Ice Grey. If you’re seeking alternative shades or finishes, you may need a different color variant or a separate paint/finish layer after the render, depending on your design and climate considerations.
