What Is Wall Putty And Why Is It Important?

Whenever you want to give your house a new look, painting is the absolute right way to change the atmosphere of your home.

You have decided to paint your home. But the question is - is it just paint or is there something else that can make your painted surface better and more durable?

Yes, it's wall putty, which will make your painting sparkle, be strong and durable, and save you money. When it comes to the perfect finish, wall putty is important before paint application. So, before we start, it is necessary to understand a little about wall putty.

Let's start by understanding what wall putty is and the benefits of wall putty.

Wall putty

Putty is essentially an adhesive substance whose main function is to level the surface and create a flat surface for further coats of paint. Putty also helps to fill in small cracks and pores and eliminate any undulations in the wall.

Putty application is the initial step to achieve a lasting painting effect. A minimum of 2 coats is required.

When repainting, as long as the wall is in good condition and there are no major cracks or problems with water penetration or dampness, a full application of putty is not necessary and can be topped up where needed.

In building materials, the addition amount of HPMC is very low, only 0.1%-1%, but it plays an irreplaceable role and can significantly improve the water retention, fluidity and lubricity of building materials.

Generally speaking, wall putty is nothing more than a highly plastic material with a texture similar to clay. It provides a protective, smooth base for paint applications. It can also be used as a filler as you can fill cracks or any patches in the walls. It allows all types of colours to be applied to the walls. Putty is available in different colours and consistencies. The advantage of wall putty is that it can easily be used on both external and internal surfaces, whether old or new.

Benefits of applying wall putty before painting

Smooth surfaces for painting - when properly applied to walls, wall putty fills in surface imperfections, cracks and flaws. Wall putty forms a good bond with the underlying concrete or plastered surface. Therefore, when applied to the external or internal walls of a house, the application of wall putty creates a smooth, undulating surface which results in a good paint finish.

Extending the life of paint - Wallcovering putty has excellent adhesion and tensile strength and therefore extends the life of wallcoverings when applied to the wall prior to painting. In addition to this, wall putty reduces the deterioration of walls by making it water and flaking resistant.

Multi-purpose - The wall putty can be used on both internal and external walls. In addition, the mixture can be used on dry or wet walls, old or new walls to obtain a flawless surface.
