Types of Drywall Texture
Whether you are building a new home or remodeling an existing one, you will need to finish out the wall texture with the correct style. Older homes can also be updated by skimming over the old texture and applying a new one on top.
There are a variety of different drywall textures to get the style you want to achieve for your home. Perfectly smooth walls require a lot of finish work. Because of this, builders came up with texture as an effective way to mask imperfections quickly and inexpensively.
Whatever your drywall texture needs, SurePRO Painting can deliver. Here are the three most common types of texture:
Orange Peel Texture
This is by far the most common modern texture seen in Central Texas, and has been around for decades. The orange peel texture is named that simply because the result looks like the surface of an orange.
This drywall texture can be applied from a light to a heavy application depending on preference.
Knock-Down Texture
Another popular drywall texture in the South, but more often in the Southwest. This texture is sprayed on, then the top surface “knocked down” with the edge of a taping knife after it has set for a certain period of time.
Because the final finish is determined by the amount of texture sprayed on, the time waited, and the technique of the person who did the work, this is a very difficult texture to match or repair.
Smooth Texture
Sometimes referred to as a “level-5” finish, smooth drywall textures have become popular in recent years and is considered a modern look. However, if you don’t have straight walls, this is probably not the drywall texture you want to go for.
Though it skips the “texture” application, it generally requires much more labor to skim and sand multiple coats to get a smooth finish. For this reason, it is also the most expensive wall finish.
