I am in the process of doing a whole house remodel/ room addition and the plans call out for a cats claw texture. Has anyone heard of such thing and if so can you please discribe it for me?
Fricken architects, my father was a drywall contractor for 25 years and he never heard of it either, I'll get a hold of the architectect and see what hey meant, I thought I would run it across you guys first.
Built a house with drywall returns for all the windows. Homeowner had cats that liked to sit on the sill....claw marks all over from climbing the sill...?
Where you put some fiber glass insulation into a plastic bag, dip it into some runny mud, and apply to the ceiling. When you snap your wrist back and forth, it sorta looks like a cabbage leaf, give your wrist a twist/bend, sorta looks more like a Crows foot/claw. So maybe the cats claw is a variant/slang.
I don't really know what the technical term for mine is. My previous boss did it for me when we built our home. I refer to it as "chicken scratch". It has a nice classy look to it. We only did it in the living room and connecting hall.
