Question 1

What exactly is Asian Paints Berger Select Tartaruga Roughcast Synthetic Render Cum Finish Ice Grey, and what does it do for my walls?

Accepted Answer

It’s a cementitious render finish designed for exterior and interior walls that provides a textured roughcast look while delivering waterproofing and breathability. The 32 kg bag is pre-tinted Ice Grey and forms a hard, pore-free coating when dry, offering durability, good adhesion, and abrasion resistance on concrete, brick, and masonry surfaces.

Question 2

Which surfaces is it best suited for and what benefits does it bring to those surfaces?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

How do I apply this render, and what should I expect during installation?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What are the key specifications and attributes I should know before buying?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How does this product differ from standard plaster, paint, or other renders?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What are ideal use cases or projects where this would be the best fit?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

What safety and handling steps should I follow when using this render?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Are there any installation tips or common pitfalls to avoid?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

How should I plan the quantity or coverage for my project?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Is Ice Grey the only color option, or can I choose other shades or finish tones?

Accepted Answer

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.
