Berger Trowel Fine

A tough combination of durability, reliability and performance.

Trowel on is a heavy-bodied textured finish, available in a range of textures to suit every surface: ultra-fine, fine, coarse and ultra-coarse. A one-coat application which protects and obliterates concrete and rendered walls. Ideally suited to mask uneven rendered surfaces, cover imperfections and hide irregularities. Can be used as a one- coat finish to new work, previously coated surfaces and flush pointed block work.

Solve Potential Paint Problems

The yellow cast that appears over previously painted white surfaces is called yellowing, and mostly occurs with oil paints.

What are the possible causes?

Use of oil paint in areas not receiving direct sunlight
Oxidation of alkyd or oil-based paint or varnish as it ages
Heat from stoves, radiators and heating ducts will turn oil paint yellow
Lack of light in dark areas such as behind picture frames, appliances and inside closets
Tobacco staining or other environmental contaminants

What is the solution?

Because of their drying process water-based painting systems fear better in enclosed areas
Water-based acrylic paints are non-yellowing
If your preference is for oil paint, ensure maximum sunlight to minimise yellowing

We recommend you use these painting systems in order of base coat, first coat, and second coat:
