The question of which finishing putty to choose for painting is asked by many people, especially those who first decided to do repairs. Paint is one of the most common finishing materials used to renovate office, residential and warehouse premises. This coating is highly resistant to moisture and other negative factors, therefore it is actively used for finishing kitchens and bathrooms. Poor-quality finishing putty will not be able to eliminate all the defects of walls and ceilings, which will become even more noticeable under a layer of paint, especially for light shades. Therefore, to obtain a good result, the choice of materials must be approached with all responsibility.

Functional characteristics of finishing putty materials

The purpose of the finishing putty is to eliminate small cracks, defects and scratches, as well as to bring the surface to a perfectly even state.

The mixture for finishing puttying is characterized by a smooth, uniform structure and a small particle size. This putty is very plastic and pliable, thanks to the plasticizers and modifiers included in its composition. This quality is of great importance for creating a smooth surface and finishing preparation for painting. The mixture, as a rule, has a white tint, which allows you to apply the lightest and pastel colors on the walls.

The finishing putty should, as a rule, have a white tint, an even, uniform structure without lumps, and be easy to apply and sand.

Before you find out which putty is best suited for painting walls, you need to understand what requirements its composition must meet:

• hold securely on the walls, do not peel off and extend the life of the decorative finish;
• easy to apply and does not clump;
• do not spread over the surface after application;
• correct any shortcomings that remain after the initial puttying;
• dried material should not crack;
• after drying, the surface should have an even white tint.

Varieties of putty materials

Materials for finishing puttying works are supplied ready-made or dry. Dry mixes are distinguished by an affordable price and a long shelf life. For people who putty walls for the first time, it is best to use ready-made compounds that do not require pre-mixing.

Ready-made finishing putty - does not require dilution

The following components are used as a binder putty:

1. Cement. Mixtures based on it are used for puttying walls in wet rooms and for finishing facades, since this material has a high degree of water repellency. As a disadvantage, the ability to shrink is distinguished, as a result of which cracks may appear on the surface.
2. Gypsum. It is used for interior decoration, dries for about two hours and is excellent for treating walls with low air humidity (corridors or hallways).
   

   Important! The gypsum mixture is in a state suitable for application for about 30 minutes, after which it loses all its properties and cannot be used for further puttying.

3. Polymers. Better than other materials, it is suitable for applying the finishing layer when decorating living rooms. This putty creates a perfectly smooth plane and facilitates the painting process. The only drawback is the relatively high cost, which makes this finishing putty unprofitable when processing large areas.

Polymer putty - ideal for use under painting

Polymer finishing putty is considered the best for painting walls in apartments and houses, especially for decorative finishes. The layer of this mixture has a fine structure, while effectively eliminating all existing defects and bonding well with the wall surface, eliminating the risk of peeling.

Choice by location

The question of which putty is better to choose for painting should be considered in the context of the object in which repair work is expected.

Object characteristics	Material type
The facade of the house for painting, covered with old cracked plaster	Thermal insulation putty, which effectively solves the problem of cracks and heat inefficiency, is widely used in outdoor decoration
Walls in the bathroom	Cement-based finishing putty best suited for wet conditions
Walls and ceilings in living quarters	Gypsum or polymer mixture
Walls in residential premises with decorative design for painting	For decorative finishes, it is best to choose a textured or ready-made finishing putty based on polymers.

The choice of finishing putty should be based on what you want to end up with (a smooth or textured surface), and also in what conditions it will be used (in normal rooms or with high humidity)

The best brands of finishing putty

Answering the question which putty materials are best suited for painting, construction and repair specialists distinguish the following brands:

• Knauf HP Finish. Gypsum dry putty with a low cost, which allows you to achieve a smooth surface in any room, except for bathrooms and kitchens. This material is convenient for puttying floors on ceilings, as well as concrete, plasterboard and plastered walls. The mixture dries on the surface from 15 to 24 hours.
• Vetonit LR+. One of the best putties, which is suitable for applying paint. The polymer mixture is used in rooms with normal humidity, forms a smooth white surface, on which paint is easily applied.
• Eunice Premium. A mixture with a polymer filler, which is suitable for puttying walls in any premises and from any materials, including concrete, plasterboard, gypsum and cement plaster. With its help, a perfectly flat plane is obtained, completely ready for further staining.

Putty is a special composition that is used for leveling, as well as decorative finishing of walls and ceilings in a room. They are of different types and differ depending on their composition, purpose and degree of readiness for use.

Types of putties and their main characteristics

According to the composition of the putty, they are divided into gypsum, cement and polymer (acrylic). Gypsum putties are relatively inexpensive, lend themselves well to leveling and practically do not shrink. Their only drawback is poor resistance to moisture, which limits the scope of use. Cement-based putties are distinguished by excellent moisture resistance, but they have a high degree of shrinkage. Polymer putties are water-resistant, do not shrink and at the same time provide a very high quality of the finished surface. Their only drawback is that they are too expensive.

According to their purpose, putties are divided into leveling (starting), decorative (finishing) and universal. Starting mixtures are characterized by high strength, good adhesion and large grain size. They are used for leveling walls after plastering and can be applied in varying thicknesses from 3 to 20 mm.

Finishing putties are intended for application to the surface immediately before decorative finishing. They provide the most even and smooth surface, hiding small flaws in the wall. Such a putty is applied in a layer of 0 to 4 mm and is easily processed, but has a lower strength than the starting one.

Universal putties combine the properties of leveling and decorative mixtures. They can be used in cases where the wall does not have too large flaws. Universal putty is more expensive, while its properties are somewhat inferior to specialized starting and finishing coatings.

According to the degree of readiness, putties are ready and dry. Dry putties are cheap and have a very long shelf life. The main disadvantages include the short shelf life of the already prepared mixture, dust and dirt during operation, as well as the need for careful proportions when preparing the composition.

When using ready-made putties, you do not need to spend time preparing the mixture, while there is practically no dust during work. However, such materials are much more expensive, in addition, they shrink a lot, so they cannot be used for applying layers with a thickness of less than 2 mm. The shelf life of ready-made putties is significantly less than that of dry building mixtures.

Consider the main features and performance characteristics of putties from various manufacturers.

When choosing a putty, first of all, it is necessary to determine the operating conditions of the coating. For residential premises with ordinary humidity, Knauf or Ceresit gypsum-based putty is suitable. For the kitchen or bathroom, you can use the SCANMIX cement-based putty or the universal Kreisel. The latter is also suitable for outdoor work. SCANMIX polymer putty can be used for interior decoration of any premises, however, if you decide to purchase it, consider the coverage area, and also calculate the amount of material needed in advance.

How to understand the abundance of ready-made and dry putty mixtures? After all, each manufacturer positions its product as the highest quality. In this article, we tried to systematize the data on the most popular brands and help the reader in choosing putty specifically for their needs and for their wallet.

The market of modern building materials is literally crammed with various types of dry and ready-made building mixtures. And the Internet is simply full of monotonous and often unreliable, promotional information about the quality of these products. Against this background, it can be quite difficult for a developer to figure out and choose an ordinary putty for himself. Let's try to take a closer look at the products of some of the most "sold" manufacturers.

Knauf

The products of this concern, as a cheap panacea for all construction problems, flooded the markets of domestic construction workers. After sand and clay, dry plaster mixtures of this company seemed to many the pinnacle of quality.

In fact, there is not so little truth in these words. Knauf offers high-quality products and technologies developed by them for their application. And it’s not the manufacturer’s fault that his recommendations are read through the line, and they are translated quite unreliably.

As for the putties, the brand exhibits several types of it at once.

Knauf-Fugen

Enrolled in putty. On what grounds, however, is not entirely clear. Classical adhesive repair mix. It was originally developed for sealing joints between plasterboard sheets. Later, it began to be used for gluing plasterboards on walls (since the curing time for Fugen is longer than that of the same Perlfix). Puttying the walls with this mixture is a pleasure, to put it mildly, even then. Yes, and there is no need to do this. For putty, the manufacturer has better and more suitable recipes.

• Price: 388 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Knauf-Fugen GV

Also, an adhesive repair mixture having a fibrous structure, it is only intended for sealing GVL joints. For putty, again, it is of little use.

• Price: 399 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Knauf-Fugen-hydro

All the same "Fugen", only for moisture-resistant drywall, with all the ensuing consequences. True, the thickness of the applied layer is increased by the manufacturer from 3 to 5 mm.

The plasticity is somewhat higher than that of the classic Fugenfüller, but there are still few who want to putty with such a mixture.

• Price: 1066 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Knauf-Uniflot

And again glue. High-quality, high-strength, practically does not shrink. Replaces any type of "Fugen", and also surpasses it in terms of technical performance. But again, this is more of a repair mixture than putty in its pure form.

• Price 1197 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Knauf-Rotband-Finish

Good putty. The manufacturer claims a reduced consumption of up to 20%, as well as the "life" of the hammered mixture up to one and a half hours. In fact, these figures are somewhat exaggerated, but there is still a sound grain. You really need to count on an hour of time, but even this is more than enough to ensure that the solution is not wasted.

• Price: 360 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

KNAUF-Multi-Finish (gypsum)

Also a good putty for the money. What is the fundamental difference between this mixture and Rotband-Finish, they did not tell me in the Knauf support service. In practice, "Multifinish" is easier to grind.

• Price: 366 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Knauf-Multi-Finish M

Quite a good mixture for machine putty. However, no one will forbid it to putty with an ordinary spatula. Moreover, the price for it is only a little more than for the usual "Multifinish".

• Price: 391 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

The usual solid finishing putty. One of the first, which was seen by the then unspoiled Russian developer. Today, most of the more modern materials outperform this mixture in quality, but habit is a great thing. Builders are conservative people, they do not seek good from good, and therefore continue to use this mixture by inertia.

• Price 241 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

The answer is "Knauf", various "shitroks". Plastic, soft and ready to use mixture. It differs from the same "Shitrok" at first glance by a more reasonable price, but this is not entirely true.

• Price: 650 rubles.
• Packing: 20 kg

Knauf Rotband-Pasta

For an inexperienced buyer, it is not much different from a similar Multi-Finish paste. Well, except that the price was 60 rubles. higher.

• Price: 710 rubles.
• Packing: 20 kg

Knauf Multi-finish (cement)

Do not forget about cement mixtures. Cement-based stucco has the same name as gypsum. So you need to be careful when buying. Unlike gypsum compositions, the cement recipe, to put it mildly, did not take root. Although in vain, quite decent putty for the money. Plasticity, of course, is not the same as that of gypsum, but nothing can be done about it - cement is cement.

• Price: 438 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Henkel Bautechnik

An excellent manufacturer of dry and ready-mix building mixes. Ceresit, Thomsit and Ekon are all brands of this concern. True, when it was not conscientious Germans who began to produce these same brands, but our compatriots, simply using foreign technologies, the quality dropped somewhat, but still remained at a height unattainable for domestic companies.

The choice of putties at Henkel Bautechnik is not as extensive as that of the same Knauf, and is limited to some products of the Ceresit brand. But on the other hand, when choosing a product, there are no stupid questions: how does one mixture differ from another and why you need to choose exactly one and not another. Everything is strictly to the point. There is a task - there is a mixture for its implementation.

What I have always liked about Ceresit is order. No big names. The digital code of the product, which cannot be confused with anything. CT 127 is a polymer putty for work in dry rooms. The quality can compete with the same "Vetonit". But it has a more attractive value. Plasticity is average, it is overwritten tolerably. But the quality of the finished wall is simply excellent.

• Price: 560 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Ceresit CT 225

The putty for facades is made on the basis of cement. In general, it seems to me that mixtures with cement succeed with Ceresit especially well. The advantages of the mixture include reinforcing additives. To the disadvantages - so that these additives do not settle and are distributed evenly, the mixture must be constantly stirred.

• Price: 594 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Ceresit ST 95

The similarity of "Shitrok" for outdoor work. It is, to put it mildly, not cheap, and therefore it is used quite rarely for its intended purpose. It has proven itself well among builders as a repair and troubleshooting mixture. Somewhere to correct, somewhere to cover up a crack. Using CT 95 in large volumes is too expensive.

• Price: 890 rubles.
• Packing: 17 kg

Weber Vetonit

The standard of quality among modern putties presented on the Russian market. The price of products of this brand is not very pleasant, but the quality is beyond praise. A distinctive feature of all Vetonit putties is increased plasticity and a huge survivability. And this makes the work very comfortable. The following putty mixtures are provided at the buyer's choice.

Weber.Vetonit VH

Cement-based putty designed for indoor and outdoor use. Particularly loved by the masters for decorating walls and ceilings in bathrooms. It is ideal to use on a plaster cake made from Vetonit TT. And why not, if finances allow.

There are two types of putty: gray and white. Enterprising craftsmen immediately dubbed the gray one “Leveling”, and the white one “Finishing”. (Similarly, "Knauf" appeared "ceiling" drywall). Among the disadvantages of putty, one can single out a large consumption of the mixture per millimeter of layer - about 1.2 kg per square meter.

• Price: 521 rubles. gray, 868 rubles. white
• Packing: 25 kg

Excellent putty based on organic glue. This means that the product is 100% natural. Actually not so important fact, but if you have a fad about natural products, you can use it. Until completely dry, it spreads a not very pleasant soapy “aroma”. After drying, the smell disappears.

• Price: 634 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Putty on an inorganic, polymeric basis. It differs from Weber.Vetonit KR only in smell. Allows you to get a surface that is completely ready for painting.

There are many negative reviews on the net. They complain that if there is a need to re-paste the wallpaper, then the latter lag behind right with the Vetonit putty. If we neglect construction technology and do not prime the puttied surface, the result described above is quite possible. That's just the quality of the product here is completely irrelevant.

• Price: 692 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Weber Vetonit LR Fine

Very white and very soft putty. Positioned as the finish line. Although Weber.Vetonit LR +, for which it is intended to cover, is also called the starting one, somehow the language does not turn. For those who love 4-6 layer putty cakes - that's it.

• Price: 728 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Weber.VetonitJS

An analogue of "Fugen" from "Vetonit". But you can work with it longer and it is softer in use. If desired, such a repair mixture can really putty, and even paint.

• Price: 896 rubles.
• Packing: 20 kg

Weber.Vetonit LR Pasta

Well, “Vetonit” could not stand aside and not release its analogue of “Shitrok”. It turned out pretty good quality. Neither worse nor better, just not "Shitrok", but "Vetonit". Great for surface troubleshooting before painting. You can use it as the main putty, but is it rational?

• Price: 700 rubles.
• Packing: 20 kg

Stabill

A Polish brand that has firmly established itself in the post-Soviet building materials market.

Produces dry and ready putty mixes. The quality is good, but not up to the same "Vetonit". Many masters, accustomed to working with Stabil, simply do not recognize other putty mixtures. It is disappointing that there is no Russian-language support on the official website of the manufacturer. But even Poles who are fluent in Polish will not be able to learn much from the resource.

Stabill PG 41

It was this product that made the company a name. It is understandable, the putty turned out to be of high quality. It is kneaded well, in work after manufacturing it does not lose its properties for about two hours (for "Vetonit" a couple of days), it is relatively easy to overwrite. The resulting surface is ready for painting. And yet it seems that the price of this mixture is somewhat overpriced. In work, most of all, it resembles Ceresit CT 127, the cost of which is somewhat more modest, but this is only at first glance.

• Price: 638 rubles.
• Packing: 25 kg

Stabill PSZ 11

Universal putty mixture. The similarity of "Rodband-Finish" Polish bottling.

Allows you to create a layer up to 3 cm, while getting a surface ready for wallpapering.

• Price: 364 rubles.
• Packing 20 kg

Stabill PG-007

Ready mix in buckets. Excellent quality, which, in fact, is not surprising for such a product. Packing of 17 kg, with a consumption of 1.5 kg per millimeter layer of a square meter.

In work, it is not much different from the same Vetonite or Knauf paste.

• Price: 840 rubles.
• Packing: 17 kg

sheet rock

Famous American brand. The quality of finished Shitrok putties has become a proverb. Today this product is made not only overseas, but also in Russia. In particular, there are production facilities in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, products made in our country cannot be compared with foreign counterparts. Although for anyone who has not used putty made in USA, ours, Russian, will seem simply the height of plasticity and perfection.

Today, many people try to perform puttying work only with paste (it is pleasant and comfortable to work), to the point that they apply it 3-4 millimeters directly onto the plaster cake. This approach is highly irrational.

Firstly, do not forget - "Shitrok", this is a thin-layer putty mixture. And secondly, no one, of course, will forbid using it to tighten the entire wall or ceiling sheet, but it’s still cheaper to use this product only for defecting certain sections of the plane before painting.

The main and most common product of the American manufacturer. 28 kg of the finished mixture is placed in a seventeen-liter container, so do not be too afraid of the declared 1.4 kg / m 2 consumption. The mixture is multifunctional. She can seal the seams, and pull a thin layer along the cobweb. In general, high-quality and super pleasant to use paste.

• Price: 1149 rubles.
• Packing: 28 kg

Sheetrock Fill & Finish Light

The same super finish, but 35% lighter and, as a result, 10 rubles. more expensive per litre. Strange as it may sound, a lot of customers responded to this advertising move. True, it is not clear how an already thin millimeter layer can make the structure heavier, but if finances allow, then why not.

• Price: 779 rubles.
• Packing: 10 l

Sheetrock ProSpray

Ready putty for machine application. Fast but expensive. The only, but important advantage is that it is not afraid of freezing. Frozen - thawed, and you can continue to work. The main thing is not to warm up artificially.

• Price: 1050 rubles.
• Packing: 17 l

Sheetrock Dust Control

Another improvement from Shitrok. Lightweight putty with reduced dust formation during sanding. And again it turned out a little more expensive than Sheetrock Fill&Finish Light. Some 30 rubles per liter.

• Price: 349 rubles.
• Packing: 3 l

Vasily Molka, rmnt.ru

When preparing walls and ceilings for wallpapering and painting in different colors, it is mandatory to use a putty mixture. It is necessary to repair damaged plaster and levels the work surface. To this end, it is worth taking a closer look at the best putties on the market that can be found in this rating. The review includes only good finishing, starting, decorative and universal compositions.

The undisputed leaders among manufacturers in this rating in terms of frequency of mention are Russian brands. Many of the manufacturers started working back in the 90s, and extensive experience is one of the guarantees of high quality products.

Polymer putty mixture Danogips Dano Jet 5 is intended for leveling walls for wallpapering. A solution is prepared on its basis, which can be used within three days after that. To maintain its properties, the temperature in the room at this time must be at least + 13⁰С. The composition of the material includes marble fractions that reduce shrinkage and prevent the risk of microcracks. The composition is prepared quite simply by mixing water (0.28-0.31 l) and 1 kg of powder.

The finished mixture is homogeneous without much effort and can be applied both with a spatula and with airless devices. It is allowed to use the product within 5 minutes after the preparation of the components. It does not dry very quickly on the walls, within 24 hours, which allows you to adjust the results of the work if necessary.

This putty is based on gypsum and special additives that give the coating increased adhesion and resistance to cracking. It is produced in paper bags of 20 kg and requires dissolution in clean water with a temperature of +5 to +20ºC. Powder consumption is quite economical - 1 kg per 0.45-0.55 l of liquid, with such proportions the mixture does not spread over the surface after application.

To create a smooth and durable coating, the finished composition must be mixed well with a drill with a nozzle or a construction mixer, and then kept for at least 3 minutes. The maximum time for applying the solution is 2 hours, after which it hardens and loses its astringent properties. The composition can be applied in a layer with a thickness of 1 to 8 mm, and if it is thick, then an h-shaped rule will be needed to level it.

The best decorative putties

This name was given to the mixture because of the possibility of giving relief to the coating to perform decorative functions. According to the results of testing and analysis of reviews, the material presented in this rating is recognized as the best putty.

This paste is bought only for decorative purposes, with which it copes with dignity due to its interesting texture, like traces of a bark beetle on a tree trunk. The drawing can be made absolutely anything - circular, cross, vertical, horizontal, but to give the coating aesthetics, some skill will be required. If necessary, it can be painted in any color.

Putty "Bark beetle XL" from Optimist-Elite is suitable for both interior and facade work. It is distinguished by its soft white color and vapor impermeability, which increases the service life of the decorative layer. It is used for all types of surfaces - concrete, brick, plastered.

What putty is better to buy

For complete puttying, a universal mixture is often used, and if necessary, in the partial elimination of irregularities, gypsum, quick-hardening compounds. The finished, liquid mixture is used to create a topcoat for subsequent painting or wallpapering. All of them are made from two main components: filler and binder. The finer the particle size of the powder, the thinner, smoother and more accurate the layer is.

Here is what starting putty is better to choose based on your goals:

• If in the end thin wallpapers are glued, then it is better to give preference to Danogips Dano Jet 5.
• To mask large gaps and eliminate strong irregularities, it would be more correct to buy a Volma Standard mixture.
• With seams, the material “Founds Ecosilk PG35 W” works flawlessly.

As a second coat, if you want to color the coating, you can apply a solution of Danogips Sheetrock SuperFinish. In a room with high humidity, the TEX Profi finishing putty mixture will be relevant. Where a thick layer cannot be applied, Hercules GT-33 is recommended.

To create both a starter and a finish coating with good strength on the facade of buildings, products from the Starateli brand will help, and indoors you can limit yourself to Knauf Fugen. Bergauf Easy Finish and VGT universal acrylic filler are excellent for processing the plinth. Among the decorative compositions, the choice is small and Optimist-Elite Bark beetle X is considered the best among them.

Can you answer the question, what is the best medicine?

We think it’s unlikely, since there are no universal health remedies, and different diseases are treated with different drugs, and finding out in advance their tolerance by patients. A similar answer can be given to the question which putty is better: the one that suits you in many ways, and in first on purpose.

To understand which putty to choose in a particular case, you need to understand the variety of its types. There are many of them, and they differ in composition, purpose, scope, readiness for use, price and other parameters, on which the final choice depends.

Compound

The composition of the putty mixture is the main parameter on which the quality of the finish depends. If you buy a good, expensive, quality mix but don't consider whether it's suitable for your surface, money and effort will be wasted.

In this article, we will not talk about all existing types of putty, we will focus only on those that are used to level walls and ceilings.

So, according to their composition, they are divided into:

• Cement. Their main advantage is high moisture resistance, and the main disadvantage is shrinkage during drying with the possible formation of cracks. The low price of such putty attracts buyers with a limited budget to it. But when finishing facades, as well as rooms with high humidity, you can’t do without it.

• Gypsum. They are not able to withstand moisture like cement, so they can only be used in dry indoor areas. This putty is non-shrinking, i.e. does not crack when dried, retains a beautiful smooth texture, which allows it to be used as a base for painting or wallpapering.

Note. It is quite difficult for beginners to work with this material due to its fast setting. Therefore, the mixture must be prepared exactly as much as you have time to apply to the walls for the period of time indicated on the package.

• Polymer. The most expensive of those listed, but at the same time the most durable and high-quality, they are easiest to apply with your own hands. By type of binder, synthetic putty can be latex or acrylic. The high cost is offset by a long shelf life and solidification, as well as the ability to create an ideal surface when applying a very thin layer, which allows economical use of the material.

Purpose

To choose a putty suitable for your purposes, you need to decide on its purpose:

• Home(see Starting putty for walls: types, purpose, application) is intended for rough leveling of walls, bringing them to the level. It has a coarse-grained structure, can be applied in a fairly thick layer, and dries for a rather long time.
• Finishing(see Finishing putty for fine finishing) has a smooth uniform texture with a minimum particle size. This is a very plastic putty for applying in a thin layer. It is used for "smoothing" surfaces, their final preparation for finishing.
  The color of such mixtures is usually white, which makes it possible to stick even light transparent wallpapers on the prepared base or apply pastel paints.

Advice. To ensure the best adhesion of the finish layer to the leveling, use products of the same brand, from the same manufacturer.

• Universal. The instruction for such compositions states that they can be used for different types of work: both for leveling the surface and for its finishing preparation.
• Decorative structural putty is a mixture that allows you to create a textured surface, which in itself is the final decorative coating that does not require additional finishing other than painting. Although now there are colored putties and compounds on sale that can be tinted before application.

Application area

Everything is simple here: putty can be designed for outdoor or indoor use. In the first case, it must have moisture resistance, frost resistance, resistance to mechanical stress and other physical characteristics that allow the composition to “work” normally in the most difficult weather conditions.

Less stringent requirements are imposed on mixtures for indoor use, but they must also be suitable for the purpose of the room and have good adhesion to the base material.

How to choose putty

Even the meager information that was given in the first part of the article is enough to be able to choose the right material. Putty rating by price, manufacturer's reputation and other parameters will give you less than this knowledge. Although, of course, they are worth paying attention to.

So let's look at a few examples:

Place of work	Suitable putty
The plastered facade of the house for painting. The plaster is not new, cracked in places.	First of all, we look at the scope and choose a putty for outdoor work. Heat-insulating putty will help to solve the problem with cracks and heat leakage.
Walls in the bathroom, swimming pool for tiling.	Starting cement putty for interior work. Finishing alignment is unnecessary here.
Walls and ceilings in living rooms for painting.	Gypsum or polymer putty (depending on financial capabilities). If the surfaces are even, you can do with only the finishing mixture.
Decorative wall decoration in residential premises.	Texture putty or regular finishing, the relief of which can be given with a special roller or stencil on a fresh surface that has not begun to set.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many nuances when choosing a putty, all of them must be taken into account in order to be confident in your choice and the quality of the work performed. This is not difficult at all, and even the above information may not be useful to you, since the packaging with building mixtures always contains information about the scope and method of application.

But if you are used to trusting only yourself and want to get more information, watch the video in this article, it will help you better understand the topic.
