Skip trowel texture is done by hand and takes years to perfect. It is also one of the most popular ceiling texture finishes in high end homes here in Brevard County.
This photo is an example of one of my many variations of skip trowel texture.
When I say “variation” there are several factors that determine how the skip texture will look. One of the factors is the “surface” that is going to be textured. Skip trowel texture can be applied in a light, medium or even a heavy consistency, depending on whether you’re going for an old world, modern or custom texture.
New drywall, primed drywall, previously painted surfaces, amount of sand added and how thick or thin the texture material is mixed are just a few of the factors determining how this hand texture will pull when applied.
Skip trowel texture is one of my favorite textures to do and to look at.
I love the detail you see when you look at a professionally skip troweled ceiling. It will give your space a unique and beautiful ambiance that your house guests and neighbors will truly be impressed by.
