Exterior Wall Coatings

For Stylish Facades that stand out

A revolutionary concept in decorative exterior finishes, Tartaruga has been certified by architects, builders and property owners across the world. Developed by Berger Portugal, Tartaruga means 'tortoise' in Portuguese and the product's extreme durability aptly reflects the tortoise's remarkably long lifespan. Honed to perfection by Berger India's R&D to stand up to the rigors of Indian conditions, Tartaruga has more than proved itself in the two decades since its launch. With a high-build acrylic formulation (200-300 microns), it is water-resistant, includes aggregates like quartz, mica, silicon and cobalt, as well as IN resistant inorganic pigments and other additives to enhance its durability. Available in an unlimited range of textures and shades, what's more, Tartaruga is easy to apply and can be used on a wide variety of interior and exterior surfaces.

Properties

Water Resistant

Tartaruga's film has a unique property that enables it to 'breathe' out entrapped moisture from the paint surface and the substrate.

Fungus Proof

Broad spectrum fungicides and biocides work to prevent the growth of algae and mould, not just on the paint surface but on the substrate as well.

Adaptable & Versatile

Tartaruga's excellent surface adhesion enables it to be used on a wide variety of surfaces - cement plasters, cement renders, wood, hard and soft boards, asbestos - making it the most versatile designer option.

Thermoplastic

Formulated to stand up to extreme climatic conditions, the paint film has tough elastic properties that enable it to stretch to accommodate contractions and expansions caused by varying ambient temperatures, thereby preventing cracks and fissures on the painted surface.

Solar Reflectivity

Specially formulated with UV resistant pigments that enable Tartaruga to be fade resistant and keep its just painted look for at least 10 years. Tartaruga has proprietary Ingredients that act as a thermal barrier which reflects Infra Red Rays. This ensures superior solar reflectivity and reduces the heating effect on walls (tested at CESR, Indore).

Life Expectancy : 20 - 25 years

The Preferred Designer Choice for over two decades

Launched in India in 1984, Tartaruga was put through extensive pre-launch tests in some of ndia's toughest climatic zones - Cherrapunji, an area with one of the highest rainfalls in the world and Kanyakumari, known for its extremely saline atmosphere - and it stood up successfully to bath extremes. Since then, Tartaruga has been the preferred choice for some of the country's most prestigious buildings.

Illusions

What can you do if you have a wall with flaws so serious that ordinary paint won't cover them up? Or what if you want a surface with a more tactile quality? may be you want to try for a weathered or stucco look. For any of these, texture painting is a good option. Paints specifically designed for texture work are as thick as pancake batter or wet plaster. Some are gritty and some are not. All are ideal for flawed surfaces and for creating a rustic look. You should still wash the surface, scrape off flaking paint, and patch major holes, but you don't need to make the surface perfectly smooth. Texture paints will camouflage most surface blemishes.
