Styles of Wall & Ceiling Textures

Textures are an easy way to improve the appearance of a plain flat wall. They add visual interest to a wall and are an excellent way of hiding imperfections in your wall. Below we have outlined the most common forms.

Knockdown (Skip Trowel) Texture : Knockdown is one of the most popular ceiling and wall textures today. The name comes from the final procedure in the texturing technique where you will level off (or knock down) the high points in the texture.

Slapbrush (Slap Brush) Texture : This was a popular ceiling and wall texture which also goes by the name crows feet and pandas paw. It is not as popular today as it once was but you will find it on many older homes.
