What Is The Best Filler For Interior Ceilings & Walls?

11 September 2020 by Wezaggle Leave a Comment

Not just any filler will do when it comes to ceiling and walls. If you are going to start decorating we suggest you use a filler that’s fine, stays in place and is sandable so you cannot see it through your finished paint job!

You can pick up filler in any shop on the high street very cheap but the majority of them are not worth the hassle. If you’re going to use a cheap low-grade filler on your walls and ceilings then you might as well not start decorating!

An Interior Filler Should?

An interior filler should be extremely fine so you can sand it and match it to the wall or ceiling you are going to be using it on! All fillers featured are:

  1. Quick-drying within the hour
  2. Does not shrink or crack when dry
  3. Superfine for sanding and patching
  4. Ready-mixed to avoid waste

How To Use Filler Correctly?

Preparation is key when decorating if you do not prepare before you paint then your not going to get that perfect paint job. Make sure your walls and ceilings are in good shape before painting because any dents, marks or scuffs will stick out when you have finished!

  1. Use a large scraper x2
  2. Be sure your scraper blade is clean/straight
  3. Apply the filler with one motion
  4. Complete all ceilings and walls
  5. When dry check your filler
  6. Use sandpaper or a sander
  7. Gently rub the filler until flush with the wall

If you have done a lot of filling then a sander or a large sanding pad attached to a broom handle will suit. Be sure to correctly sand the filler flush, use your fingers to confirm you have sanded enough and you cannot feel the edges of the filler!

If you do not sand your filler correctly then it’s going to stick out. Sand the filler and the wall around. Use 150 grit sandpaper for both ceiling and walls. This will blend the filler and match it to the walls and ceilings in your property!
