Lynnwood WA House Painting Tips: Adding texture to your drywall while painting enhances the visual feel and appeal of your surrounding. A drywall texture sprayer is a tool used to add tactile and visual interest to an interior wall. The effects achieved can range from a minimal orange peel texture to a popcorn ceiling. It all depends on the look you’re going for. The first thing you’ll need to texture your walls is the sprayer. These machines range in price from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the manufacturer, quality and features offered. Adding texture to drywall is the last step in the drywall hanging and finishing process. You don’t have to have textured walls, but if you decide to you’ll need one of these sprayers.
The texturized look comes from foam or polystyrene particles in different sizes. These particles are blended into a water base to form a substance with a somewhat sticky consistency. One thing that is very important is the right water to texturizer ratio. Too much water and the texture won’t adhere properly. If you don’t use enough water you will find the texture cannot be sprayed smoothly onto the wall. You will also want to choose a texturizing product that is the color you prefer, as painting over texturized walls or ceilings is not recommended. Now that we’ve discussed the product, let’s talk about its application.
Sprayer guns are compression powered and used to spray large spaces in a jiffy. The first step is to apply one even coat. If you find that does not provide the coverage or level of texture you want, you can apply a second or even a third coat. However, it is very important to allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. This usually takes about eight hours or overnight. Therefore, a textured wall that uses several coats may take days to complete because of the drying time.
Before using a drywall texture sprayer or any kind of drywall texturing product it is important to clean and prime the surface first. There are primers on the market especially made for this purpose that can be purchased anywhere home improvement supplies are sold. Here you can also find the dry texture material and even the sprayer device. Priming is important because it helps your spray texture go on more smoothly and helps prevent cracking and peeling.
