What Is Knock-Down Ceiling Texture?
Knock-down ceiling texture is a drywall finishing technique that alters the surface to create a unique and interesting look. It is applied using a drywall texture spraying tool known as a hopper gun- or sometimes, we use a trowel or brush. Of the many texturing techniques, it is one of the more modern inventions- having been created in the 90s.
What makes this spray-on wall texture a little different from other styles (and arguably more popular) is its slightly flattened appearance- still giving the depth and interest of other textures but in a more subtle way.
What Are the Benefits of Knock-Down Texture?
There are many benefits of Knock-down texture- many of which are shared with other textured finishes. The first- and most obvious- benefit is its appearance: it is far more interesting to look at than a plain, smooth wall. Some people prefer a smooth finish, so whether or not the appearance is beneficial depends on your preferences, but these other benefits are undisputed.
How Does It Compare to Other Drywall Texture Spray Techniques?
When choosing a ceiling texture, knockdown is often at the top of the list- but it is not the only option. Here is a brief comparison to other well-known drywall texture spray styles.
The most famous wall texture is popcorn- but biggest isn’t always best! Most people think popcorn ceilings look a little dated and old-fashioned. Knockdown wall texture and ceiling texture is far less coarse than popcorn ceiling but does just as good a job of covering imperfect drywall.
Knockdown VS orange peel texture is a pretty close call- because they both have the same benefits. The only difference is the appearance and method of application. Orange peel is usually faster to apply than knockdown- and has a much simpler texture. If you want something very subtle, orange peel wins- but if you want something with depth and character without being overpowering- knockdown takes the crown.
Crows foot ceiling texture is not as popular as knockdown. It may be aesthetically interesting and forgiving to marks and seams, but it is not as effective with noise control. Another con of crows foot texture is the length application process- there is a lot more technique involved, so it takes longer.
