Drywall ceilings are typically finished with a sprayed on texture. Below are samples of the most common types of texture used.
Acoustic - Our standard spray texture is “Fine”. This texture is sprayed on the ceiling and is a finished surface that does not need to be painted.
Orange Peel - This texture is created by using taping mud that is thinned out and sprayed on any surface (usually ceilings). It has a fairly consistent look with small ¼” spots of mud. This texture needs to be painted after it is applied.
Knock Down - Created with taping mud thinned and sprayed on both walls and ceilings as desired using a hopper. The blobs of mud that are sprayed on to the surface are allowed to dry for a period of time and then knocked down with a texture blade to create a larger dragged textured look. This texture is inconsistent with some large spots and small spots. This texture will need to be painted after it is applied.
