In this article,
we will tell you about the different texture paints, so you can select the right one for you.
The different types are:
Premixed:
This kind of paint has everything in the bucket that it comes in.
It is mixed with
sand.
Though the work
involved in this kind of paint is less, the texture that it results in isn’t
very defined from close-ups.
Thus, it is best
to use it in areas where it won’t be noticeable. It is ideal for a ceiling.
Self-Mixing Paint
In this, you
would need to have a base paint and then you would add the texture yourself.
So you can be as
creative as you like and come up with unique textures.
A popular
additive is a sand.
You have
complete control over what the result would look like, so you can have the
texture as well defined as you want.
Smooth
Textured Paint
This type of
paint is used to get the look of plaster, so it is quite heavy.
It won’t be easy
to apply it without the help of a trowel.
It is to be
noted that it doesn’t have any additive in it to get a rough texture like sand.
That is the reason behind it being smooth.
It would give
your space a rich and luxurious look if applied correctly.
It gives a
subtle effect.
Alternative Finishes Textured paint, just like regular paint is also available
in many different finishes.
You
can glossy or matte finish.
The
right texture with the right finish could create whatever look and feel you are
going for in a particular room.
How to get the desired texture?
One can create
interesting textures and patterns with the use of a few correctly chosen tools.
The techniques
which are employed to get various textures are:
Combing:
As the name suggests, in this technique, a comb is used to create various
patterns such as zigzags, checkerboards, wavy lines in wet paint.
One can use rags of various kinds to get different
looks.
Sponging: In this technique, sponges are used to create different patterns on the wall. One can use sea sponges or synthetic sponges.
One can also buy
textured paints and get a different look for their walls.
It is suggested
that patches be used to see the final look before painting the entire wall.
Instead of
covering all the walls with texture paint, it would be good to have an accent
or feature wall.
This is the time when many people get their house repainted and when one gets the painting job done, they want it to be contemporary and trendy.
