4 Drywall Textures Handyman Connection in Regina Can Help You With!

When you’re remodelling your space, there are a few things you can do to customize the room and make it more visually striking. Besides picking out decor, furniture, lighting fixtures and paint colours that match your vision, you can also choose drywall textures for your walls that make them more unique. Handyman Connection provides professional drywall services in Regina that make your walls pop and bring your space to life. Here are four popular drywall textures we can create in your room.

1. Flat Walls

One of the most stunning looks for drywall is a flat, smooth finish. The smooth drywall look is also called a Level 5 finish. Flat walls have a smooth, even layer of drywall mud covering the entire space. Homeowners can opt to have our contractors create a smooth finish so they can eliminate the wall’s imperfections, such as nail pops, tape and uneven textures. Applying drywall mud to create this look requires lots of technique and skill and is not for the average DIYer. The Level 5 finish is the most difficult to achieve because it has to be applied perfectly. 

2. Knock-Down Texture

Another texture that looks gorgeous in a space is the knock-down style. Our contractors create this look by spraying drywall compounds onto the walls and then using a knock-down knife to flatten the excessive mud and create a design. There are different techniques with knock-down to give homeowners the exact look they want. Common knock-down styles include splatter, stomp or skip trowel. Drywall technicians may use different tools to get the look, such as paint rollers, brushes and trowels. The contractors can help you decide which style would match your room the best or customize the knock-down pattern to complement your room’s theme.

3. Popcorn Design

Popcorn ceilings used to be the norm in lots of old houses, and many homeowners removed the old-fashioned texture for a flat ceiling. This retro texture is coming back into style as a drywall texture. The look is created by adding polystyrene popcorn texture to the drywall mix and covering the walls with it. Homeowners may want to have a popcorn texture in a room with walls that are uneven or have lots of imperfections.

4. Orange Peel Texture

The last type of drywall texture that we recommend is orange peel. Out of all of the drywall options on this list, orange peel is the easiest to apply. The contractors create this look by spraying thinned drywall compounds onto the drywall surface and letting it dry naturally. After it dries, the texture looks similar to an orange peel, with slight wrinkles and cracks. Contractors can also adjust the level of texture with orange peel, from fine to heavy by using different settings on the drywall spray tool.
