There are many wall textures and techniques used across the Valley. When doing a repair, it is important to have an experienced drywall technician doing the texture work in order to match the new finish to your existing wall.
Todd Whittaker Drywall takes pride in having experienced employees that are familiar with a variety of texturing applications.
Skip trowel, knockdown and orange peel are the most common in the Valley.
Skip Trowel – The most well known, hand applied texture. The trowel is held to the wall at an angle and flattens the mud as it its moved, thus creating a skipping effect. The consistency of mud used can scale the texture down or generate a broad appearance for a larger open room.
Knock Down – A prominent texture that is sprayed on using a hopper. The mud is then knocked down or flattened using a knock down knife. This method has many variations depending on the consistency of the mud and the pressure (psi) of the hopper to create your desired look.
Orange Peel – Imitating the rind of an orange, this texture is sprayed on using a hopper. The mud used is applied with an organized look. Infinite patterns and densities are created with this application depending on the consistency of mud used and the nozzle setting on the hopper. No finishing tools are needed to create this bumpy uniformed pattern.
Splatter – Very similar to Orange Peel, the Splatter texture is sprayed through a hopper, but with a lighter consistency.
The splatters create a random effect that imitates an unfinished texture.
Santa Fe – A true Santa Fe texture is applied by hand using a drywall knife and has the appearance of being smooth from further distances. Up close however, it looks as if two separate layers of material were applied with one showing through the other in random areas.
While similar to a Skip Trowel finish, it is applied with a higher percentage of coverage.
