Featuring Asian Paints' proprietary \u003cstrong\u003ewater resistance technology\u003c\/strong\u003e, Ace forms a durable barrier against rain, sun, dust, and humidity — outperforming traditional cement paints in adhesion, colour retention, and resistance to chalking and cracking. With a smooth matte finish and a wide tintable colour palette, it is equally suited to residential homes, apartment complexes, and commercial building facades where appearance and durability both matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e90–110 sq ft per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e, Ace delivers significantly better coverage efficiency than cement paint, reducing the total quantity of paint needed per project and lowering labour time through easier application. Its \u003cstrong\u003elow-VOC, water-based formulation\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it safer to handle and apply in occupied or partially occupied buildings, with faster drying times compared to solvent-based alternatives.

Asian Paints Ace, as a \u003cstrong\u003ewater-based acrylic emulsion\u003c\/strong\u003e, bonds far more strongly to the substrate, resists chalking and cracking through seasonal cycles, and includes an \u003cstrong\u003eanti-algal formula\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ewater resistance technology\u003c\/strong\u003e not present in cement paint. It also covers 90–110 sq ft per litre versus cement paint's typically lower coverage, making it more economical per square foot over its 4-year warranted service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2) What pack size do I need for a standard home exterior?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical independent house exterior has approximately 1,500–2,500 sq ft of paintable wall area. At \u003cstrong\u003e90–110 sq ft per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e for two coats, you would need roughly 14–28 litres depending on surface texture and porosity. A combination of 20L and 10L packs is usually the most practical. Always ask your painter to calculate the net paintable area — deducting windows, doors, and plinth — before ordering to avoid waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3) Can Ace be applied over existing painted exterior walls, or only on fresh plaster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAce can be applied over \u003cstrong\u003eexisting sound, well-adhered exterior paint\u003c\/strong\u003e after appropriate surface preparation — scraping loose or flaking paint, sanding, cleaning, and applying a suitable primer or sealer.

It offers an \u003cstrong\u003e8-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e, a luxury smooth finish, and a more comprehensive protection package — combining advanced weatherproofing, dust guard technology, superior colour retention, and anti-algal and anti-fungal protection in a single system. Choose Apex Ultima when wall condition is sound and you want a longer warranty cycle and higher-specification protection than the Ace or Apex Colour tiers provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2) What pack size do I need for a standard home exterior?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical independent house exterior has approximately 1,500–2,500 sq ft of paintable wall area. At \u003cstrong\u003e120–140 sq ft per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e on smooth surfaces, you would need roughly 11–21 litres for two coats. A combination of a 20L and a 4L or 10L pack covers most standard homes. Always ask your painter to calculate net paintable area — deducting windows, doors, and plinth — before ordering to avoid waste or shortfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3) Can Apex Ultima be applied over existing exterior paint, or does the surface need to be stripped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex Ultima can be applied over \u003cstrong\u003eexisting sound, well-adhered exterior paint\u003c\/strong\u003e after proper surface preparation — scraping loose or flaking paint, sanding, cleaning, and applying a compatible exterior primer. For fresh plaster, allow a minimum of 28 days of full curing before painting. Do not apply over surfaces with active dampness or seepage — treat the moisture source first. Coverage rates of 120–140 sq ft per litre are achieved on smooth, properly prepared surfaces; textured or porous surfaces will reduce effective coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4) What does the 8-year warranty cover and how do I make a claim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e8-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e covers defects in the paint film under normal weathering conditions — including excessive chalking, peeling, and cracking attributable to the paint rather than substrate movement or application errors. To keep the warranty valid, the product must be applied as per Asian Paints' specified system using compatible primer and correct coat thickness. Retain your purchase invoice as proof of purchase and contact Asian Paints directly to initiate a warranty claim through their authorised service network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5) How does Apex Ultima's dust guard formula compare to the Nano-Block technology in Apex Colour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth Apex Ultima's dust guard formula and Apex Colour's Nano-Block technology are designed to reduce dust adhesion on exterior walls, but they use different proprietary approaches developed by Asian Paints for their respective product tiers. Apex Ultima additionally offers a \u003cstrong\u003elonger 8-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e versus Apex Colour's 6-year warranty, and combines dust resistance with a broader weatherproofing and biological protection package. If dust resistance is your primary concern and you are satisfied with a 6-year warranty, Apex Colour is a valid choice; if you want the longer warranty and higher-tier overall protection, Apex Ultima is the appropriate upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 4 — RETURNS \u0026 EXCHANGE POLICY  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchange Policy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col style=\"line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReturn within 24 hours of delivery for:\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eDamaged or defective product\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eWrong or missing item\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduct cannot be returned once installed or used\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRefer to Refund Policy for complete details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- HIDDEN SEO KEYWORDS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: absolute; left: -9999px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003easian paints apex ultima exterior emulsion 8 year warranty dust guard anti algal weatherproof exterior paint luxury smooth finish low voc bangalore exterior wall paint\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===================== END — copy up to here ===================== --\u003e","brand":"HomeRun","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":49984107249979,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-ULT-EXT-WAT-1L","price":549.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4L","offer_id":49984107282747,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-ULT-EXT-WAT-4L","price":2033.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10L","offer_id":49984107315515,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-ULT-EXT-WAT-10L","price":4988.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20L","offer_id":49984107348283,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-ULT-EXT-WAT-20L","price":9660.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/6095\/4939\/files\/Asian_Paints_Apex_Ultima_Base_White_68f945cb-731c-4a14-9534-a37a2784b415.webp?v=1741089413"},{"product_id":"asian-paints-apex-colour","title":"Asian Paints Apex, Colour","description":"\u003c!-- ===================== START — copy from here ===================== --\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 1 — PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asian Paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apex Colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-Based Exterior Emulsion Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nano-Block Dust Proof Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 120–140 sq ft per litre\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and Luxurious\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-based, Low VOC, Eco-Friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Pack Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1L, 4L, 10L, 20L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-year performance warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 2 — PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- REQUIRED: at least 2 intro paragraphs --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsian Paints Apex Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e is a premium water-based exterior emulsion that combines vibrant, fade-resistant colour with advanced \u003cstrong\u003eNano-Block dust proof technology\u003c\/strong\u003e — a proprietary innovation that prevents dust particles from settling and bonding to the paint surface, keeping exterior walls cleaner for longer between washes.

Unlike standard exterior emulsions that have a passive surface, Nano-Block uses \u003cstrong\u003enano-engineered surface structures\u003c\/strong\u003e to actively prevent dust particles from bonding to the wall. The result is an exterior that stays visibly cleaner for longer — a tangible benefit in Bangalore and other Indian cities where roadside dust settles quickly on freshly painted walls. Standard exterior emulsions do not offer this feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2) How does Apex Colour's coverage of 120–140 sq ft per litre compare to other exterior paints?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex Colour offers \u003cstrong\u003ehigher coverage efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e than most exterior emulsions in its class — Asian Paints Ace covers 90–110 sq ft per litre, and Apex Ultima Protek covers 50–60 sq ft per litre. The higher coverage of Apex Colour means fewer litres are needed per project, partially offsetting the per-litre cost premium. The higher coverage is best achieved on smooth, properly primed masonry — textured or porous surfaces will reduce effective coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3) Can Apex Colour be applied over existing exterior paint, or only on fresh plaster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex Colour can be applied over \u003cstrong\u003eexisting, sound, and well-adhered exterior paint\u003c\/strong\u003e after proper surface preparation — removing loose or flaking paint, sanding, cleaning, and priming with a compatible exterior primer. For fresh plaster, allow a minimum of 28 days of curing before painting. Do not apply over surfaces with active seepage or rising dampness — treat the moisture source first. When in doubt, consult an Asian Paints colour consultant or authorised contractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4) What does the 6-year warranty cover, and how do I make a claim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e6-year performance warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e covers defects in the paint film under normal weathering — including excessive chalking, peeling, and cracking attributable to the paint rather than structural movement or incorrect application. To keep the warranty valid, the product must be applied per Asian Paints' specified system using compatible primer and correct coat thickness. Retain your purchase invoice and contact Asian Paints directly to initiate a warranty claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5) Where does Apex Colour sit in the Asian Paints exterior range — when should I choose it over Ace or Apex Ultima Protek?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex Colour is Asian Paints' \u003cstrong\u003emid-premium exterior emulsion\u003c\/strong\u003e — above Ace (4-year warranty, no dust-proof tech) and below Apex Ultima Protek (12-year warranty, 2mm crack bridging, fiber reinforcement). Choose Apex Colour when your walls are in good structural condition, dust accumulation and colour vibrancy are priorities, and you want a 6-year warranted finish at better coverage efficiency than the Protek system. Upgrade to Apex Ultima Protek only when crack bridging or maximum waterproofing performance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 4 — RETURNS \u0026 EXCHANGE POLICY  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchange Policy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col style=\"line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReturn within 24 hours of delivery for:\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eDamaged or defective product\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eWrong or missing item\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduct cannot be returned once installed or used\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRefer to Refund Policy for complete details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- HIDDEN SEO KEYWORDS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: absolute; left: -9999px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003easian paints apex colour exterior emulsion nano-block dust proof technology 6 year warranty anti algal washable exterior paint bangalore low voc weather resistant\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===================== END — copy up to here ===================== --\u003e","brand":"HomeRun","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":49988142170427,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-EXT-WAT-COL-1L","price":380.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4L","offer_id":49988142203195,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-EXT-WAT-COL-4L","price":1410.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10L","offer_id":49988142235963,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-EXT-WAT-COL-10L","price":3334.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20L","offer_id":49988142268731,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-EXT-WAT-COL-20L","price":6280.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/6095\/4939\/files\/Asian_Paints_Apex_Colour.webp?v=1739166581"},{"product_id":"asian-paints-apex-ultima-colour","title":"Asian Paints Apex Ultima, Colour","description":"\u003c!-- ===================== START — copy from here ===================== --\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 1 — PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asian Paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apex Ultima Exterior Emulsion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Water-Based Exterior Emulsion Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 120–140 sq ft per litre on smooth surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury Smooth Matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced weatherproofing, dust guard, anti-algal, anti-fungal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-based, Low VOC (\u0026lt;50g\/L), Lead-Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Pack Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1L, 4L, 10L, 20L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1000+ Asian Paints exterior shades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 years performance warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 2 — PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsian Paints Apex Ultima\u003c\/strong\u003e is a premium water-based exterior emulsion engineered to deliver long-lasting protection and a rich, sophisticated finish on exterior walls — backed by an \u003cstrong\u003e8-year performance warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is positioned as Asian Paints' high-specification exterior solution for homeowners, architects, and contractors who demand superior weatherproofing, sustained colour vibrancy, and a clean, stain-resistant surface through years of exposure to rain, sun, dust, and biological growth. At \u003cstrong\u003e120–140 sq ft per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e on smooth surfaces, Apex Ultima combines outstanding coverage efficiency with a multi-layered protection system including advanced weatherproofing, a dust guard formula, and active anti-algal and anti-fungal additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates Apex Ultima from lower-tier exterior emulsions is the breadth of its protection package — \u003cstrong\u003eUV stability, rain resistance, thermal shock resistance, and dust guard technology\u003c\/strong\u003e working together to maintain both structural film integrity and colour vibrancy over the full 8-year warranty period.

It adds a more comprehensive protection package — advanced weatherproofing, dust guard technology, superior colour retention, and anti-algal and anti-fungal protection — compared to the lower tiers. Choose Apex Ultima when you want a longer warranty cycle and higher-specification protection than Ace or Apex Colour provide, but do not need the crack-bridging fibre reinforcement of Apex Ultima Protek (12-year).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2) What pack size do I need for a standard home exterior?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical independent house exterior has approximately 1,500–2,500 sq ft of paintable wall area. At \u003cstrong\u003e120–140 sq ft per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e on smooth surfaces, you would need roughly 11–21 litres for two coats. A combination of a 20L and a 4L or 10L pack covers most standard homes. Always ask your painter to calculate net paintable area — deducting windows, doors, and plinth — before ordering to avoid waste or shortfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3) Can Apex Ultima be applied over existing exterior paint, or does the surface need to be stripped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex Ultima can be applied over \u003cstrong\u003eexisting sound, well-adhered exterior paint\u003c\/strong\u003e after proper surface preparation — scraping loose or flaking paint, sanding, cleaning, and applying a compatible Asian Paints Exterior Primer. For fresh plaster, allow a minimum of 28 days of full curing before painting. Do not apply over surfaces with active dampness or seepage — treat the moisture source first. Coverage rates of 120–140 sq ft per litre are achieved on smooth, properly prepared surfaces; textured or porous surfaces will reduce effective coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4) What does the 8-year warranty cover and how do I make a claim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e8-year performance warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e covers defects in the paint film under normal weathering conditions — including excessive chalking, peeling, and cracking attributable to the paint rather than substrate movement or application errors. To maintain warranty validity, the product must be applied per Asian Paints' specified system using compatible primer, correct coat thickness, and 2–3 coats as recommended. Annual inspection and touch-up also support warranty validity.

Built for homeowners, contractors, and specifiers who demand long-term performance without repainting cycles, it combines advanced Lamination Guard technology with embedded fibre reinforcement to deliver a finish that looks vibrant and stays structurally sound through years of severe weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets Apex Ultima Protek apart from standard exterior paints is its dual-warranty architecture: a \u003cstrong\u003e12-year performance warranty on the topcoat\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e10-year waterproofing warranty on the basecoat\u003c\/strong\u003e — coverage that is industry-leading in the Indian exterior paint market. The 2mm crack-bridging ability means the film flexes across hairline and minor structural cracks rather than splitting, keeping moisture out even as the substrate moves through seasonal temperature cycles. At 50–60 sq ft per litre, coverage is efficient enough to make it cost-competitive over its service life versus lower-priced paints that require more frequent recoating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- KEY FEATURES --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fcefb9;

It also carries a longer warranty — \u003cstrong\u003e12 years on the topcoat and 10 years on the basecoat waterproofing\u003c\/strong\u003e — compared to the shorter coverage of the standard range. If your walls have existing hairline cracks or are in a severe weather zone, Protek is the appropriate upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2) What pack size do I need for a standard 3BHK exterior?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical 3BHK independent house exterior is roughly 1,500–2,500 sq ft of paintable area. At \u003cstrong\u003e50–60 sq ft per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e, you would need approximately 25–50 litres for two coats. A combination of two to three 20L pails is usually sufficient, but always ask your painter to calculate net paintable area (deducting windows, doors, and plinth) before ordering to avoid over- or under-purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3) Can Apex Ultima Protek be applied directly on old painted walls, or does the surface need preparation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface preparation is always required for best results. Old, flaking, or chalking paint must be scraped off and the surface sanded. For walls with active dampness or seepage, the \u003cstrong\u003eAsian Paints Dr. Fixit waterproofing basecoat\u003c\/strong\u003e (or the specified Protek primer-basecoat system) should be applied first — the 10-year waterproofing warranty is tied to using the correct basecoat system. Clean, sound existing paint can generally be painted over after light sanding and priming. Consult an Asian Paints colour consultant or contractor for a site-specific recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4) What does the 12-year warranty cover, and how do I claim it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e12-year performance warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on the topcoat covers defects in the paint film such as peeling, cracking attributable to the paint (not structural movement beyond 2mm), and significant colour fade under normal weathering conditions. The \u003cstrong\u003e10-year waterproofing warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the basecoat system against water ingress when applied per Asian Paints specifications. Warranty claims are processed through Asian Paints directly — retain your purchase invoice and ensure application is done by an Asian Paints-approved contractor following the prescribed system to keep the warranty valid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5) How does Apex Ultima Protek compare to Berger WeatherCoat or Nerolac Excel Total?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three are premium exterior paints in a similar price band, but Apex Ultima Protek's \u003cstrong\u003e2mm crack-bridging fiber reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edual 12-year \/ 10-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e are currently the most comprehensive in their class. Berger WeatherCoat All Guard and Nerolac Excel Total both offer good UV resistance and waterproofing, but neither provides the same crack-bridging rating or warranty duration at time of writing. For walls with existing cracks or in high-rainfall zones, the Protek system offers a meaningfully higher level of protection and longer guaranteed service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 4 — RETURNS \u0026 EXCHANGE POLICY  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchange Policy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col style=\"line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReturn within 24 hours of delivery for:\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eDamaged or defective product\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eWrong or missing item\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduct cannot be returned once installed or used\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRefer to Refund Policy for complete details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- HIDDEN SEO KEYWORDS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: absolute; left: -9999px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003easian paints apex ultima protek fiber reinforced exterior paint waterproof crack bridging 2mm lamination guard 12 year warranty bangalore exterior wall paint anti algae\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===================== END — copy up to here ===================== --\u003e","brand":"HomeRun","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":50012724986171,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-1L","price":580.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4L","offer_id":50012725018939,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-4L","price":2259.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10L","offer_id":50012725051707,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-10L","price":5246.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20L","offer_id":50012725084475,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-20L","price":10299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/6095\/4939\/files\/Asian_Paints_Apex_Ultima_Protek_Base_White_d50a0d97-e3c1-451e-a1f2-d711e6c45a7d.webp?v=1757595075"},{"product_id":"asian-paints-apex-ultima-protek-colour","title":"Asian Paints Apex Ultima Protek, Colour","description":"\u003c!-- ===================== START — copy from here ===================== --\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 1 — PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asian Paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apex Ultima Protek\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiber-Reinforced Premium Water-Based Exterior Emulsion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiber Reinforcement + Lamination Guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrack Bridging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 2mm structural crack protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 50–60 sq ft per litre on smooth surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich Sheen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Pack Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1L, 4L, 10L, 20L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1000+ Asian Paints exterior shades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-year topcoat performance warranty + 10-year basecoat waterproofing warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- ===========================================================\n     SECTION 2 — PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  (REQUIRED, LOCKED)\n     =========================================================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsian Paints Apex Ultima Protek\u003c\/strong\u003e is the top-tier product in Asian Paints' exterior emulsion range — a fiber-reinforced, waterproof exterior paint system combining two proprietary technologies: \u003cstrong\u003eFiber Reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e for up to 2mm crack bridging, and \u003cstrong\u003eLamination Guard\u003c\/strong\u003e for a protective moisture barrier that prevents dampness, seepage, and weathering-related film failure. It is sold as a multi-layer system — a waterproofing basecoat and a fiber-reinforced topcoat — backed by India's longest exterior paint warranty: \u003cstrong\u003e12 years on the topcoat\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e10 years on the basecoat waterproofing system\u003c\/strong\u003e. Available in 1L, 4L, 10L, and 20L and over 1,000 exterior shades, it delivers a rich sheen finish that maintains vibrant colour for over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining technical advantage of Apex Ultima Protek over all other Asian Paints exterior emulsions — and most competitors — is its \u003cstrong\u003e2mm crack-bridging capability\u003c\/strong\u003e. Walls develop hairline and minor cracks through thermal expansion, structural settlement, and drying shrinkage; standard exterior paints cannot bridge these cracks and allow moisture ingress that accelerates deterioration. Protek's micro-fiber reinforced film flexes across cracks up to 2mm wide, maintaining the moisture barrier even as the substrate moves. This makes it the correct specification choice for walls with existing hairline cracking, buildings in active settlement zones, coastal structures, and any project where the longest possible repainting cycle and maximum waterproofing performance are non-negotiable requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- KEY FEATURES --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fcefb9;

Apex Ultima Protek is a \u003cstrong\u003emulti-layer system\u003c\/strong\u003e adding two capabilities that Apex Ultima does not have: \u003cstrong\u003e2mm crack bridging via fiber reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated waterproofing basecoat\u003c\/strong\u003e with its own 10-year warranty — giving a total dual warranty of 12 years (topcoat) + 10 years (basecoat). Choose Protek when your walls have existing hairline cracking, face severe weather or active moisture conditions, or when the longest possible repainting interval and maximum structural protection are the priority. If walls are in good condition and budget is a consideration, Apex Ultima is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2) Does this product require a professional painter, or can I apply it myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex Ultima Protek is a \u003cstrong\u003emulti-layer professional application system\u003c\/strong\u003e requiring correct sequencing of basecoat and topcoat with appropriate curing time between layers. Professional application by an Asian Paints-approved contractor is \u003cstrong\u003erequired to maintain warranty validity\u003c\/strong\u003e for both the 12-year topcoat and 10-year basecoat warranties. DIY application is technically possible but will void the dual warranty. Given the premium investment in this system, professional application is strongly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3) What pack size do I need, and why is the coverage lower than other Asian Paints exterior paints?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e50–60 sq ft per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e, Apex Ultima Protek has lower coverage than Apex Ultima (120–140 sq ft\/L) or Ace (90–110 sq ft\/L) because its premium fiber-reinforced formulation is thicker and denser — the additional material per square foot is what delivers the crack-bridging capability and enhanced protection. For a standard house exterior of 1,500–2,500 sq ft, you would need 25–50 litres of topcoat (plus equivalent basecoat). Always have your contractor calculate the exact quantity based on net paintable area before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4) What do the two warranties cover and how are they claimed separately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e12-year topcoat performance warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the fiber-reinforced paint film against peeling, cracking, and excessive chalking under normal weathering. The \u003cstrong\u003e10-year basecoat waterproofing warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the waterproofing basecoat system against moisture ingress and seepage failure. Both warranties require the complete system to be applied as per Asian Paints' specifications by an approved contractor. Retain all purchase invoices and contractor documentation, and contact Asian Paints directly to initiate claims under either warranty through their authorised service network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5) How does Apex Ultima Protek sit at the top of the Asian Paints exterior range — what is below it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex Ultima Protek is Asian Paints' \u003cstrong\u003epremium-tier exterior system\u003c\/strong\u003e — the highest specification available. Below it in descending order: \u003cstrong\u003eApex Ultima\u003c\/strong\u003e (8-year warranty, no crack bridging, single-product system), \u003cstrong\u003eApex Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e (6-year warranty, Nano-Block dust-proof technology), and \u003cstrong\u003eAce\u003c\/strong\u003e (4-year warranty, value-tier entry-level emulsion).
