Birla White Wallcare Putty
Birla White Textura
Birla White Levelplast
Birla White GRC.
It is a water resistant white cement based putty which provides a strong base on concrete/mortar walls (Internal and External) and ceilings. It is applied before painting of the wall. It fills the fine pores of the walls and ceilings, thereby providing a white, smooth and dry surface for painting. Being water resistant it provides a protective base which prevents expensive paint from flaking. "Birla White Wallcare Putty" has special added polymers and more adhesive strength which provides a strong base ensuring a longer life for the painted surface. It does not require water curing and it can even be applied on freshly plastered wall thus resulting in savings of time and cost. During repainting, the surface done up with "Wallcare Putty" requires minimum scrubbing thus eliminating the mess of dust, which is a health hazard especially for asthmatic patients. Its superior quality makes it the first putty in India to meet the global standards (HDB, Singapore).
Do away with boring plain walls; get Birla White's Textura – a white cement-based wall finish that is decorative, protective and economical. It gives your walls an artistic and stylish makeover with exciting textures, beautiful finishes, vibrant colours and amazing shades. What's more, it also ensures they stay as good as new for years to come. Birla White Textura is available in two varieties RF, Spray / Roller finish, ideal for interiors and TF, the Trowel finish, suited for external walls. Properties like water resistance, compatibility with plastered / concrete walls, extra adhesive strength, durability, high breathability and UV resistance make it a wiser choice against Acrylic textures. It does not require curing and its special formulation keeps it safe against the ill-effects of weather.
For a white, smooth and leveled surface for painting, Birla white Levelplast is your best solution. Levelplast can cover major undulations on the walls. This water resistant, white cement-based product is used on concrete / mortar walls (Internal and External) and ceiling for leveling purpose. Levelplast does not require water curing and can be applied even on moist surfaces. It has more adhesive strength, durability and increases the life of paints as compared to other conventional products like P. O. P and Gypsum. It fills the fine pores of mortar / Concrete walls and ceilings, to give an extremely smooth surface.
Picture your living space with an Egyptian cavetto-and-fillet cornice at the entrance, followed by decorative elevations inside, from walls and ceilings to staircase and minarets. It's not as impossible as it sounds! Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) made from Birla White Cement breathes life into your dream home.
Birla White GRC is a unique and revolutionary construction material, combining the properties of cement mortars with the flexural and tensile strength of special glass fibres. Currently used worldwide in cladding and associated architectural components, Birla White GRC is made of Birla White Cement, high silica sand, alkali resistant glass fibres and other admixtures. Naturally occurring oxide pigments are added to get the desired shade. It can be made to resemble natural stones or exposed brick or even wood.
GRC dramatically alters the internal or external character of any building and gives form to your imagination. Slender, slick and lightweight, it is a new revolution in the world of modern architecture.
