Priming a Drywall Before Texture
Many people are unclear about the process or necessity of priming drywall before texturing. In our experience, whether or not the drywall is primed first varies in different regions and can change based on the type of texture you are using and how you spray it.
Different Types of Drywall Textures
There are many different types of drywall textures available for sprayers to choose from. Orange peel and knockdown textures are very popular. Other types of drywall textures include crow’s feet, comb drywall, and sand swirl drywall texture. You will also find that ceiling textures are sometimes different from wall textures. Additionally, a drywall texture machine can be used to texture both ceilings and vertical drywall surfaces.
Use a Drywall Texture Machine
Adding texture to a large surface in an optimal time frame can be challenging. However, with a drywall texture machine, you can cover more surfaces very quickly. Drywall machines use compressed air and a specialized nozzle, allowing the sprayer to move swiftly and cover large surfaces. With a split tank machine, you can even create a variety of textures in a single run. There are a variety of texture machines available at American Spray Technologies.

What Comes First: Ceiling or Walls?
When it comes to adding drywall texture to apartment buildings, many people speculate whether to do the walls or ceiling first. You will find that there is no set pattern to undertake this job. Some professionals prefer doing the walls first and vice versa. In our experience, we have found that some people prefer priming their ceiling first before adding texture to it. This adds some dimensional depth to the ceiling because of a contrasting color, but it ultimately comes down to the preference of the sprayer and/or the client.
