At Quality Craftmen Enterprises we understand that texture is a final touch for your home or business. It expresses the personality and style of your home. On this page you will find examples and information on all texturing styles we offer. Please feel free to call us for more information.

Textures Styles

1. Knock Down - To achieve this look, we will apply texture

material randomly with a spray gun and

then the groups of this material are

"knocked down" with a clean trowel tool.

2. Combed - Using a special trowel with regularly spaced,

triangular notches, a swirling pattern is

      applied on a smooth layer of texturing

material. This look can be very formal when

      concentric rings are applied around a central

light fixture.

3. Roller - Applied like paint, a rolled finish uses a long-

  nap paint roller to achieve a heavily textured

        look. The longer the roller nap, the rougher the

  finish.

4. Spray On - A special spray gun is used to apply this finish. The

  look of a sprayed on finish can vary widely,

       depending on the thickness of the texturing

  material, the size of the spray orifice, the amount of

  air pressure and the use of additives such as sand

  or polystyrene.

5. Trowel On - To achieve a plaster-like look, texturing material is

   applied using a standard trowel. Trowel on

   finishes can vary depending on the consistency of

   the texturing material.
