Hello All,
The walls of my falt have couple big cracks. They are more than hair line cracks. The cracks are around 5 feet in length and width could be .25 inch.
What is the permant way to fix these cracks. Painter says it is not possible to fix these cracks. Is this true? I see add of Mr or Dr fixit. Can they help?
Cant we fix them using cement and sand?
Looking for efficient solution and amount i may have to shell out.
Regards
Amit

Re: Wall Cracks
Cracks are on internal or external walls ?
Actually in our apartment, we have seen some cracks on the external walls. Some of us contacted an interior designers/constructions company and they widened the cracks and filled the same with some special chemical.
As per them, if you just use normal putty or cement filling, then it might not have joined to the old concrete mix and after some time it will come out. So they said they use some kid of special chemical mix to avoid that problems. Also I remember, they have given some warranty on that too.

Re: Wall Cracks
MNRS, It is the internal walls that have cracks. Do you have any idea on how much they charge and any contacts.
There are some paste available like Dr Fixit. not sure if they are permanant fix for the problem
