Frequently asked questions
Why is texture so much costlier than plain paint?
It is applied by hand in layers with special tools - you are paying for skilled hours, not just material.
Where does texture work best?
One feature wall per room - living room TV walls, bedheads and entrance foyers.
Can texture be painted over later?
Yes - light textures repaint directly; heavy ones may need skimming first.
