Types of Wall Textures

Learn more about the particularities of each type of texture and its main advantages with information and tips from Ana Clara Miranda, architect at Mind:

With roller

About this type of texture, the professional explains that it is the one made with a roller with reliefs, drawings, or geometric shapes, and adds that it is used in internal environments. As for the price, Ana Clara says that "it varies according to the paints and type of roller chosen, but it is not an expensive method and leaves an interesting aspect.

With putty

According to the architect, this type of texture is made with putty and a spatula or putty for texture and a trowel to form the desired design, such as a striped or checkered pattern. Ana Clara says that, most of the time, this texture is used indoors and after application it is possible to use any color of paint to finish. She highlights as an advantage the lowcost, since the materials used are simple.

Graffiti

Graffiti is used in indoor and outdoor environments. Ana Clara explains that this texture "can be done in any color and gives an air of elegance to the environment with vertical or horizontal drawings. According to the professional, this coating is water-repellent and, therefore, highlights its use in very humid regions. With respect to the cost, the architect says it is "low, considering the wall already sealed andready for application".

Marble

It is a texture that resembles marble and is used in internal environments. Ana Clara explains that "because it needs a straightener, a final polishing and care with the application for the effect to be faithful to the stone, specialized labor is required. Its cost may be a disadvantage for being a little high, but it is much lower when compared to the marble piece.

Engineered Texture

Ana Clara says that the projected texture is "usually used in external environments and has as a result the appearance of flakes". For the architect, its application is more complex and has a higher cost because it requires hiring specialized labor with specific materials.

Burnt cement

The burnt cement effect is a trend in interior decoration, especially in the industrial style. When done with ready-made textures it is a much simpler alternative option than the traditional method, which requires specialized labor and materials such as cement, sand and water. It is possible to find several brands for the application, which can be done even by you. The result isvery similar and presents a very good cost-benefit ratio.

Textures can be created using many different types of materials, and although each one has a different style, they all present themselves as a simple and economical way to change the look of the walls.
