What is Knockdown Texture?

Knockdown Wall Texture- Medium size

Knockdown texture is done by spraying thinned down joint compound on with a hopper and air compressor or by using a commercial texture machine for larger projects and contractors. It is also one of the most popular texture finishes in new construction, remodels and has been going in homes here in Brevard County since the early 1990’s.
This photo is an example of one of my many variations of knockdown texture.
When I say “variation” there are several factors that determine how the knockdown will look. One of the factors is the “surface” that is going to be textured.
New drywall, primed drywall or a previously painted surfaces. Another texture variable would be the consistency of how thick or thin the knockdown mix that is going to be sprayed on is. Also, The type of machine used to apply the knockdown texture. These are just a few of the factors that determine how the texture will knockdown and look once the new knockdown texture on your ceilings or walls has been painted.
Knockdown texture can be applied in a light, medium or even a heavy consistency, depending on the look you’re going for.

When doing knockdown on both the ceilings and walls of a room or throughout a home. I prefer there to be a contrast between the ceiling texture and wall texture.
Ceiling= Half dollar to quarter size blobs
Walls= Nickel to dime size blobs
