What Is Drywall Texture? 

After the taping and floating of joints is completed, plaster wall texture is a compound that is sprayed, rolled, or troweled onto the plasterboard. It's the same material as a joint compound; however, it is thinned with water and applied to your walls or ceiling. Texture comes in a wide range of styles, some of which are more suited to certain types of buildings. 

What Are the Different Types of Sheetrock Texture? 

Are you looking for ceiling and wall texture ideas? Here are the different ceiling textures you could consider: 

• Orange Peel
• Stamped 
• Skip Trowel 
• Knock Down 
• Smooth 
• Acoustic 
• Sand 

Let’s look at each of these in a bit more detail: 

Orange Peel 

Orange peel texture is a sprayed grain with varying degrees of splatter on the ceiling or walls. It has the appearance of an orange peel. This can be one of the lightest, least-obvious texture styles when a fine spray is used. 

Stamped 

It's possible to trowel on the texture first and then stamp it using the necessary tools, such as a ceiling texture roller. The end result could be anything from leaves to feathers and birds' feet. Alternatively, a flat brush dipped in the material and stomped on the walls can be used to create a swirly texture.

Skip Trowel

A trowel is used to provide texture to the walls in this technique. To create a handcrafted, rustic effect, you can leave trowel markings on the surface. It's common in Tuscan and old-world-style residences. This is an ideal bedroom wall texture.

Knockdown

With a knockdown ceiling, the texture is sprayed on and left to partially dry. Knockdown texture can be scraped and flattened with a number of tools. To smooth down or scrape the grain and create patterns, you can use sponges, trowels, brooms, or other objects.

Monterrey Drag is a knockdown technique that imitates the appearance of outside plaster. A thick layer of texture is dragged over the surface using a trowel in this method. Due to the high use of the mud, this approach may attract dust. California knockdown ceiling texture is another form of this grain.

Smooth

This is a smooth grain treatment on a plasterboard wall. It provides an even, non-textured wall by feathering out the sheetrock joints. This is one of the more expensive, difficult, and modern ceiling texture styles to achieve. Minor variances may show up as faults; thus, a great job will require several rounds of application and sanding.

Acoustic

You may have heard of popcorn walls or ceilings? This was popular back in the day and was used to save labor costs of floating the textured ceiling. However, this style is no longer popular, and many people struggle to get rid of the heavy texture. Because some acoustic grains might have asbestos or lead, removing texture from ceilings should be done with caution. Professionals should deal with this job because of potentially harmful particles. Your ceiling will have to be re-grained to suit the walls after removing the texture.

Sand

If you're after a sandy, grainy effect, you can add sand to the gypsum texture. The sandy texture can be applied by spraying texture on ceiling or wall surfaces. Textured wall paint can also have sand added to it.

What Is the Cost of Wall Texturing Services? 

The cost to texture drywall varies on numerous factors. Just like sheetrock installation and textured ceiling repair, location, size per square foot, materials used, and labor hours all play a part in the cost factor.
