Drywall Texture
One of the most important things in home improvement is to pay attention to the walls. How the walls are done add immensely to the ambience of the room. You can do more with the walls in your home than just paint them or wallpaper them. In fact Drywall Texture gives you so much scope to get creative with your home. It adds depth and character to your walls and makes your rooms look fantastic.
Apart from the aesthetic angle, Drywall Texture has some practical uses too. Plastering and sandpapering can be avoided and wall imperfections can be hidden. Spray applications, slap brush texture with plaster and of course, Venetian plaster texturing are some common techniques used here.The basic procedure involves mixing texturing material like vermiculite or polystyrene with paint and spraying the wall surface with the mixture. Its usually requires only a single coat to be done. A combination of priming, brushing and texturing makes up for the main steps for this process, with each one of them being significant to the outcome!
One of the popular Drywall Texture techniques is the Slap Brush Texture. Here the plaster is watered down and sprayed evenly with a texture hopper or applied with a nap roller. Then a stipple brush is used to create the slap effect. Press the brush into the Drywall Texture and pull away and repeat for the stipple effect.
The other method is Spanish Drag Wall Texture method. In this process, after applying the plaster with the texture hopper you have to let it set for about ten minutes. Then, using a big trowel, around 2 feet wide, the texture is spread. The result is a wonderful Drywall Texture!
Another interesting option is the Orange Peel design in which the texture is watered down more and then sprayed, then after hand toweling let it completely dried apply glaze to give it a good finish.
Of all the Drywall Texture techniques mentioned the most attractive one is the Venetian Plaster method. This gives a three-dimensional marble effect and is available in a variety of color options. This plaster is special and is made of pigments, marble, slaked lime and dust. While applying this take proper steps to protect yourself. Firstly two coats of plaster are applied without fully covering the base of the wall and allowed to dry. Then the wall is polished or burnished, after which glaze is used to seal the plaster, thereby creating the desired effect. Thus give your home a new look by using these Drywall Texture techniques.
