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.

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":"BuildHome","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":61844392477042,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-1L","price":580.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4L","offer_id":61844392509810,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-4L","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10L","offer_id":61844392542578,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-10L","price":5100.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20L","offer_id":61844392575346,"sku":"PAI-ASI-APEX-PRO-EXT-WAT-20L","price":9899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/0405\/1058\/files\/Asian_Paints_Apex_Ultima_Protek_Base_White_d50a0d97-e3c1-451e-a1f2-d711e6c45a7d.webp?v=1778501710","url":"https:\/\/buildhome.shop\/products\/asian-paints-apex-ultima-protek-base-white","provider":"Buildhome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
