Mike, that's too bad you think this is ugly. Know what I think is ugly? Flat, smooth walls with dings in them because little johnny threw a toy too hard. Enjoy your scuffed up, "damaged" walls, mine look uniform with a texture. Dumbass.
That all-in-one "tex" spray gun is very weak, and takes forever to spray any amount of material ... I tried one! Can only recommend for the smallest of jobs (ie, a single wall.)
lol us drywallers take all this time and caution to get the walls looking a certain way but people will NEVER notice it for many many years, some may never know how much time and caution it takes :/ unless the homeowner is a drywaller :x
Here in the NW, I am asked to do small patch repairs on walls with this ugly junk. What a pain. Mostly in overpriced track homes made in a hurry with drywallers in and out in just a few days. When I see these walls, I think 'cheap'
Orange Peel is used a lot in Southern California. Knock-down isn't. Some builders are varying what they put on the walls now, but OP remains the primary from what I've seen.
I'm from California and I've asked a few painters about texturing in South Carolina. They never call me back...too much work i guess? I've done this before in my shed and now I'm ready to take on a home job. It always sucks when someone makes utube comments that slam video's based on their own personal taste and preference. Thanks for the info very helpful for people that like textured walls.
Are these guys really drywallers? that texture was uneven and inconsistant. Try side to side motion and not what the video shows, it's like painting, but with a texture.
My primary reason for texture is to hide flaws in our 60 year old home that's had crappy paint jobs done who knows how many times. Texture....yeah baby!!
From California but live in the Mid-west. I LOVE the look of OP knock down texture. Reminds me of home. Will be putting this in my basement remodeling folder! Trying to lessen the work for my poor hubby. Plain drywall requires WAY to much sanding, dust, time! Ugh! OP all the way. With nice color of paint, BEAUTIFUL!
You skipped the step where after you knock down you need to sand it down. It only takes a few minutes. better finish and not so crummy looking. Knock down covers lots of imperfections.
A very informative video & the orange peel is a beautiful randomly styled design for interior walls but noticing by your comments here the finish does not suit the taste for everyone. This will always be the case for ceiling & wall finishes some like it one way whilst others like it another way all the same, thank you for sharing your video. Regards Dale
Great video living room here i come.

This video forgets to mention that the only place on earth where this tacky
ReplyDeleteand tasteless wall texture should be applied is in the state of Florida.

Still, nothing beats a nice and smooth wall finish that few are willing to
ReplyDeletedo or pay for these days
Try using WAY less water when mixing your Mud. :)
ReplyDeleteWe use it in Nevada too.

This is not very common in the northeast, but we get requests for it every
ReplyDeleteonce in a while.
The Tex sprayer is meant for SMALL jobs, if you are going to be doing large
ReplyDeleteareas then you would need a texture gun and a compressor.

I'm only watching this because I want to see what the thumb butts do and
ReplyDeletehow to fix it.
Why only in Florida? In my opinion, is an excellent good solution for
ReplyDeleteexterior walls, that often are full of problems...
