Wall cracks are a prevalent problem in residential and office buildings, and they usually create distress among homeowners and property managers. Choosing the right material for repairing wall cracks is essential to have a long-lasting and durable solution. This blog discusses why PPC cement is the best choice for repairing cracks in walls.

Besides undermining the building's aesthetic appearance, such cracks also present future structural hazards when not addressed. Identification of the type of crack is the first step before repairs.
