Texture Application
Texture application adds a decorative finish to drywall surfaces, providing visual interest and helping to hide imperfections. There are various texture styles, each with its own unique appearance and application method.
Types of Texture
Orange Peel
A subtle, dimpled texture resembling the skin of an orange. It is applied using a spray gun and is popular for its ability to hide minor imperfections while providing a modern look.
Knockdown
This texture is created by applying a thick layer of joint compound and then "knocking down" the peaks with a trowel, resulting in a flattened, stucco-like finish. It is both attractive and functional, providing a durable surface.
Popcorn
A heavier texture often used on ceilings. It is applied using a spray hopper and is effective at sound dampening.
Smooth Finish
A completely smooth surface achieved through meticulous application and sanding of joint compound. It provides a clean, modern look but requires a high level of skill to execute flawlessly.
Skip Trowel
A textured finish created by applying joint compound with a trowel in a skipping motion, leaving a pattern of raised areas and smoother sections.
