In every home, office, or building project, walls are more than just structural elements — they are the canvas that holds the entire look and feel of a space together. But ask any contractor, builder, or DIY enthusiast, and they’ll tell you: achieving a perfectly smooth finish is often easier said than done. Cracks, uneven textures, and poor adhesion can turn what should be a proud showcase into a constant frustration.
That’s Exactly Where Sika South Africa’s Latest Innovation, SikaWall®-165, Steps In.
As a one-component cementitious fine finishing coat, SikaWall®-165 wall putty is designed to take the stress out of wall and ceiling skimming. Its unique formulation offers excellent adhesion and a silky smooth finish, making it the go-to solution for those who demand both quality and ease of use. Suitable for both internal and external applications, this product empowers builders and homeowners alike to transform walls into flawless surfaces ready for paint, décor, or simply admiration.
The Benefits That Make the Difference
What makes SikaWall®-165 wall putty stand out isn’t just what it does — it’s water resistance allows projects to not only be applied more easily, and faster, but more cost-efficient from start to finish because doing it right with Sika means doing it right the first time. This fine finishing coat delivers a beautifully smooth surface on walls and ceilings, eliminating imperfections and ensuring a level professional look every time. Thanks to its greater durability and flexibility, you can trust it to perform under pressure, whether indoors or outdoors.
Application is quick and simple. SikaWall®-165 wall putty is easy to mix — just add water — and easy to apply, with a quick-drying formula that helps you finish jobs on schedule. The thickness of the plaster can be varied, reducing waste and giving contractors more control over their material use. And because it’s non-combustible, and water-resistant, you can expect a finish that not only looks good but lasts for years.
There’s also a clear visual advantage: its clean white finish means it reduces the need for multiple coats. You can go straight from coat to colour, cutting out unnecessary steps and reducing overall project costs. Combine this with its excellent adhesion and long-term durability, and you have a product that pays for itself by saving both time and money.

ease of mixing and application reduces labour time, while its durable finish cuts down on the need for rework. For small and large business contractors, that means completing jobs faster and maintaining a reputation for quality craftsmanship. For homeowners, it means peace of mind knowing that what’s applied today will stand the test of time tomorrow.
