Premier Interior/Exterior Painting and Popcorn Ceiling Removal Company for Arden HOA Residents

There are many ways we use to apply knockdown texture. The most popular is the “spray-hopper.” We mix joint compound and water to form a soft mix. We then apply it to the wall. We mount it in thick designs that vary from abstract patterns to loose ones. After the compound has dried, we use a trowel to refine the design. This creates a 3D wall that soothes and draws the eye. It adds a new dimension to interior design.

Knockdown Textures Benefits

Knockdown texture can add a unique look to walls and ceilings in residential interiors. This texture is often used on surfaces with their old popcorn texture removed. However, it can also be used for smoother, flatter surfaces. You can use knockdown texture on walls as backdrops or visual centers for a room.

Most homeowners prefer a medium-level knockdown texture. We can give you a bolder texture if you want a more modern look. We can also give you a lighter texture to make a statement. Any knockdown texture can be custom-designed by our experts to fit your taste. We can create exciting and evocative patterns in all colors.

The Cost-Effective Solution

Knockdown textures also offer a significant reduction in labor and construction costs. Because knockdown textures conceal imperfections that may have developed over time or can be caused by renovations or construction, it is a great option. It can take time and more labor to fix imperfections in walls by filling them in, sanding them, or replacing them. Knockdown textures are a way to solve this problem. They cover up defects and offer creative solutions that can beautify your home.

The Common Type of Knockdown Texture

There are many knockdown textures. Each one has a unique look and requires different tools and techniques. These textures are available in the following.

Stomp

This is our most popular texture. It is higher than splatter and mud trowel. This texture is superior to the traditional stipple texture, which has a slight elevation from the surface.

For a stomp texture, we mix pre-mixed drywall mud and water. We then use a paint roller or paint brush to apply the mud to a wall or ceiling. Next, we use a stiff-bristled brush to stomp the mud.

The stomp knockdown mud is thinner than the drywall finishing phase. To give a stucco appearance, we smoothen the star-shaped spikes while it’s still damp.

We finish the job by flattening the mud using a standard knife. Leave a finger-like texture at 60 percent of the surface. We remove this texture with a lot of care.
