However, with the market flooded with so many different types and quality of putty, we list here 5 factors which could help you choose the best wall putty for your home.
The smoothness of Finish – With competition heating up, several brands have started offering a free trial so that you can gauge their smoothness of finish before purchasing them in bulk. Consult with your contractor about the suitability of any particular brand for your wall.

Water-resistance properties – Water seepage, flaking, and dampening of walls can cause some serious problems. Apart from spoiling your walls, it can also make you sick. It is therefore important that you opt for a wall putty which is fully capable of resisting water seepage.
Quality of packaging – It is common for the putty to absorb moisture from the air with the passage of time, which in turn lowers its efficiency. Opt for one that does not lose its effectiveness over time when it comes to stopping water seepage.
Manufacturing and Expiry Date – Normally, putty shelf life ranges from 6-12 months. Be careful about reading the expiry and manufacturing date before you bring it home.
