Common Drywall Textures?


common drywall textures?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are the common drywall textures around your area?
I'm really new to textures, and I'm just limited to the ones that the company I work for applies. I've also look around the internet but with little success.

-Here we apply knock down. And I have noticed that there is different types. There really is one that I really like, but the rest of the crew doesn't know how to apply, where all the tuxture splots are really uniform.

Kind of like splots ranging form 3/4 to about an inch really uniform. Almost the same distance apart and kind of the same sizes. Weew It looked nice. Is it just skill to get that texture with a sprayer?

-Orange peel.
-Roll on with a thick nap roller.
-crows foot.

Could you point me to a direction or explain some of your experinece with textures?
Thanks

Miguel

You might be a bit more humble, guys.

Miguel, check the drywall forum. They are the real texture experts.

The slick technique you asked about is probably done with really thinned down mud, sprayed on, but not knocked down at all. After it's dry, it's sanded.
