How to Use Ceiling Texture Spray

Whether you are replacing the old ceiling texture spray or acquiring additional spray equipment, it is crucial to ensure that you make the right decision. Getting the right equipment will translate to business profitability, while getting the wrong equipment could lead to additional costs. Some of the factors that you should consider when choosing the right equipment are:

  1. The type of materials you apply — consider the materials you apply today and the materials you may apply in the future. For instance, do you only deal with waterborne materials, oil-based materials, or materials that contain aggregates? Does the material need low or high atomizing pressure? What thickness do you seek to achieve, and how fast does the material set up and dry? Asking these questions will help you choose the right equipment.
  2. The number of gallons you intend to spray —you should determine how many gallons you intend to spray throughout the year to help you choose the right equipment size.
  3. Type of power available at the job site —ceiling texture sprays are available in different types, including electric, gasoline-powered, and air-powered equipment. Some equipment is convertible from gas-powered to electric. Considering your power source will help you choose the ideal equipment.
  4. The type of surface being sprayed — are you spraying drywall, exterior surfaces or concrete? Consider the location of the surface, whether vertical, horizontal, or overhead.
  5. How much do you intend to spend?
  6. The type of jobs you bid
  7. The number of spray guns you’ll use

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPRAY TEXTURE FOR CEILING

POPCORN TEXTURE SPRAY

Popcorn or cottage cheese ceilings are the most popular and best options for reducing sound penetration. The ceiling does not prevent sound from travelling from one room to the other. The texture only softens the sound in a specific space, making it ideal for entertainment rooms.

Textured ceiling spray was more common in older properties because it was the only way to create uniformity on a ceiling in the 90s. Modern homes do not have them, mainly because they are difficult to clean. They can harbour dust, cobwebs, and other residues for a long time, and removing the gunk means getting rid of some of the texture. For that reason, many property owners prefer to replace them with a different finish.

 

ORANGE PEEL TEXTURE SPRAY

The orange peel consistency is less dramatic than popcorn ceilings, but the ceiling texture can still make any room more appealing. The finish appears bumpy and soft, like an orange peel, which is why it is a preferable option for modern homes. Many commercial property owners also prefer the textured ceiling option because it is easier to clean.

Consider the orange peel ceiling if you prefer a subtle textured look that adds character. It is easy to apply and is one of the affordable alternatives. The application does not involve the use of a trowel – you only need a ceiling texture spray can to spray, wait for it to dry, then paint. It is advisable to test the spray in other locations before applying it to the ceiling to ensure you get the fineness you desire.

KNOCKDOWN TEXTURE SPRAY FOR CEILING

Most California apartments have knockdown texture, which is why it is known as California texture. The style looks like a skip trowel and is one of the easiest to maintain. You spray the watered-down product on the ceiling and give it time to dry partially. The compound drips as it dries off, creating a rough texture that you scrape off to get a flatter textured surface. Use a trowel or knife to knock off the protrusions manually.

Expect a ceiling surface that looks like stucco but smoother. The result is larger splotches that add depth and hide imperfections on the ceiling surface. The texture is deeper than orange peel but is also easier to clean. Perfecting the appearance requires time and energy dedication, which can be labor-intensive for some people. The advantage is that It does not damage easily, making cleaning painless.

Tip: Practice on a different surface to ensure you get the correct consistency and fineness. You can use a scrap wall or cardboard – remember that the knockdown texture requires troweling. Ensure the trowel is clean before using it. Rust, dust, and other contaminants can smear into the compound and reduce the quality of the finish.
