Wall texture

• The texture is an extremely popular classification of paint to cover drywall. The

paint possesses a large consistency and contains grains of sand and gypsum
is bound with the water–thinned binder. The usage of texture paint generates
a roughly patterned impact on the wall.
• The texture paints contained coarse grains (such as sand, gypsum, etc.) Leather, lace,
ribbon, metal, etc. with the water–thinned binder utilized for developing
a rough structure impact on the wall. As various types of styles can be created on
the wall surface, the texture has become one of the widest outstanding trends in
the painting.
• Its high consistency and thickness make it suitable for various applications and
various reasons, such as being used for coating joints in drywall, used for painting
drywall without priming. Wall structure paint can be easily painted as long as you pay
attention to the condition of the wall surface.
• For example, when the color of the wallpaper is not so dark, we can apply a decent
texture to the wallpaper. It is always necessary to consider circumstances in order to
check the quality of the paint applied to the wall before spraying the texture paint.
• The texture paint is similarly known as decorative paint. Decorative paint provides
a decent appearance rather than different paint. Texture paints can be utilized in
similar ways for metal, gold, silver, and copper finishes. It requires less maintenance.
 Properties of Texture Paint

• The texture paints are almost water–based paint. Compared

with various oil–based paints, their toxicity is limited, and
almost all manufacturers claim that they contain “zero volatile
organic compounds.” Wash off the texture paint level medium to
high. Washability largely depends on the gloss of the surface.
Some sheen can be wipeable, and some can
be washable according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• The texture paints are accessible in 1 kg, 5 kg, and 20 kg packs.
Texture paints are accessible in several finishes such as shiny
finish, glossy, etc.

make it possible to make up for all
that crowding and provide a bit of depth to
the room.

• Silica Sand Texture Paint
• This variety involves tiny particles of silica
sand as a manner to add interest as well
as texture to your walls. One can buy
sand texture paint pre–mixed, or buy the sand

finish and imperfections are obvious. So, it
generally settles on areas of the second
choice.  These types of paint can be used to
paint textured ceilings
 Comb

The comb texture is produced using techniques that create lines of

various widths and shapes in drywall compound. This technique is
often used to produce a repeated series of rainbow patterns on
the drywall and is one of the more simplistic texturing techniques.
This method requires drywall compound, a roller, and a drywall
trowel that has evenly spaced teeth (or uneven teeth if you are
going for a less organized pattern). Apply the drywall compound to
the wall using the roller, then use the teeth of the trowel to gently
apply lines in the wet compound. If you are aiming for perfect
concentric circles, practice your artistic skills on a spare piece of
drywall before attempting them on your wall. Let the texture dry
for 24 hours before priming and painting.
 Popcorn
Popcorn ceilings were a classic look in the 70s and can still be seen
in countless homes today. The reason for this type of wall texture’s
popularity is that it’s great at hiding imperfections and it can even
help absorb sound between floors and walls. It’s easy and
affordable. All one needs for the popcorn texture is an air
compressor, and a hopper gun, which can be rented from local
centers. The popcorn texture is a dry mix of drywall mud and
polystyrene, and it comes in a standard white color, so it’s best to
prime the wall or ceiling before use. Mix the popcorn texture with
water, following the instructions on the package. Make sure to
securely cover all surfaces and items that are not to be sprayed.
Once the rest of the room is properly covered, spray away. The
texture can be painted any color after it has dried.
 Orange Peel

An orange peel texture looks exactly as it sounds—it resembles the

peel of an orange. One will need to prime the walls ahead of time so
that the texture has a smooth, dirt-free surface to stick to. Pick up a
hopper gun with an air-adjustable valve, an air compressor, and
drywall compound. Mix the drywall compound with water until it
becomes the consistency of thick paint or a soupy pancake batter,
then pour it into the hopper. Spray a small amount from the hopper
onto a test piece and adjust the air valve to suit the spray pattern that
is chosen. One should be shooting small splatters of compound onto
the wall to create the desired texture but not fully covering the
primed drywall underneath. Both heavy splatters and light splatters
are required, and when one is confident in the spray pattern, apply it
to the walls. After drying, prime and paint the textured walls.
