Manufacturer's recommendations for the use of TEX texture paint
Surface preparation: pre-clean the surface from dirt and dust, remove the old coating if possible, or sand it with sandpaper. Prime the surface (for example, with the impregnating primer "Universal", in case of easily crumbling surface, use the strengthening primer "Profi"). Fill deep irregularities.
Method 1: apply texture paint to the surface with a spatula or trowel with a layer of 2-3 mm. Treat the surface with a texture roller (spongy or rubber, with a relief) rolling it along the wall from the bottom up.
Method 2: apply texture paint to the surface with a spatula or trowel with a layer of 2-3 mm. Give relief with a notched trowel (for applying adhesive solutions) with wave-like movements, or by describing circles, semicircles.
Method 3: apply texture paint in a thin layer, about 1mm, using a spatula or trowel. Level the surface by "rubbing" with a trowel, grater.
Method 4: coating type "bark beetle". Apply texture paint in a thin layer, about 1mm, using a wide spatula, pressing it firmly against the surface, remove excess paint, achieving scratches from large fillers.
Method 5: you can pre-paint the wall with a tinted paint that is close in color to the texture paint, or vice versa, contrasting with it. For example, apply blue texture paint to a yellow scratched wall. Or apply light orange texture paint to the burgundy wall. It is also good to combine colors of the same tone, but of different saturation: beige and light beige, light yellow and yellow, etc. In thin layers, the color of the wall will show through, creating a special decorative effect.
For your convenience, you can use the service of production tinting, to ensure the accuracy of the selected shade, uniformity in color.

Texture paint is a deep matt coating containing marble chips, which allows you to hide the defects of the painted surface and obtain the desired decorative effect with the help of various tools. The undoubted advantage of the material is the possibility of its wide application inside dry, damp rooms, shopping and warehouse complexes, parking lots, mineral fences and house facades.
Scope of application:
It is used for painting walls and ceilings inside dry and damp rooms, objects with increased operational load, during facade work.
Approximate expense:
The average consumption of Universal texture paint when applied in 1 layer is 1.5 - 2.5 kg per 1 m² (0.8 - 1.4 l per 1 m²), depending on the thickness of the applied layer and the created decorative effect. The coating is applied in one layer.
Application methods:
Textured wall paint is applied with a spatula or trowel in one layer. Immediately after application, to give the desired decorative relief, you can use texture rollers with various patterns, a notched trowel, brush or brush.
Before applying the material, it is necessary to prepare the surface to be painted by removing dirt from it, degreasing it, matting it, if the surface is affected by mold, fungus, or other infections, to remove them and prevent further occurrence, you can use Sanatex Universal Sanitizer, not strong old coatings must be removed.
Painting tools:
To apply texture paint Universal use a spatula or trowel, if necessary, further decorating the surface, use a tool suitable for this purpose. For ease of application and a smoother finish, the material can be thinned with water up to 10% by volume.
The main advantage of this coverage:
- applied in 1 layer;
- gives relief;

Texture paint for walls: application features
Applying texture paint
Applying texture paint carried out in a variety of ways, both mechanically and manually. The pattern, texture and general appearance of the coating, as well as its quality, depend on the tools and methods by which this application is carried out. In this publication, we will apply Tex Universal texture paint to the wall, using various techniques and obtaining various effects.
Since the issue of preparing surfaces for decorative paints and plasters has already been covered in detail, we will not particularly touch on it here, and imagine that everything is already ready for the process itself. So, let's begin!
Room #1 - toilet in the building of the experimental series 1-LG-600/14A
In this toilet we will use 50mm. flute brush. This is a basic technique that is effective, simple and gives you the ability to make a good surface quickly and without much effort. For a greater effect of unevenness and randomness, part of the bristles of the brush can be cut with scissors. The coating that we will get as a result of this set of works is called “antique plaster” - this is a surface with a pronounced texture, used, as a rule, to imitate old walls (depending on how to paint and what texture to give). However, here we will work in a slightly different direction, namely, to make new walls, creating a fresh effect combined with a touch of glamour, as relatively bright and saturated colors will be used.
Painting walls with textured paint is not at all difficult, but it takes some skill, which can be acquired fairly quickly (within an hour). We take the paint, open it and mix thoroughly with a mixer. After that, we grab a certain (not too large) amount of it with a brush and apply it on the wall with chaotic strokes:
The number and density of strokes depend on what kind of drawing you want to get. It would be wrong to advise anything specific, because in the course of action you will figure it out yourself. To understand the principle will help the video on applying texture paint, which I shot specifically for this site. The video shows the work in the above-mentioned room, in which the photographs were taken; the same "Tex Universal" is used:
So, we continue to impose the composition on the walls with a brush. It is not necessary to press hard, but it is necessary that the paint adheres properly to the surface. After the process of applying the first layer is completed, it should be assessed whether a second one is needed or not. When working on budget properties, I usually try to get by with less materials and less labor. In this case, it is quite possible to leave one layer - we will save the customer's money and our own money. But keep in mind: you can’t apply too thick a layer, as the paint may crack - then you have to finish it for free. So a measure is needed.
The most correct would be to make an adjustment to the first layer, consisting in local lubrication of not very successful, “bare” areas:
The method is simple, efficient and affordable, and it saves both material and application time, which is also of great importance for a budget facility. The perception of a well-corrected layer is no different from the perception of two full layers.
In general, our layer is ready.
Texture water-dispersion paint "Universal"
You can leave the white paint as is, or you can paint it in different colors. Here you have many options: you can paint the surface in several colors using brush strokes, a cotton or gauze swab, or a spray gun. You can match the brush strokes with a white backing or even make the walls striped by applying masking tape. A lot can be done even with one color (primitive, true, but there is room for experimentation):
However, in this case, we will apply the classic effective scheme, namely, we will paint all the walls in one color, and why we will sand them with sanding paper with a grain of 100. As a result, we will get the base of the color in which we paint, and textured stains of the paint color, namely white (it is easy to guess that if we color it initially, the stains will no longer be white):
Looks like it worked out well! But such a coating will get dirty very quickly and lose its appearance. To protect the surface, it is necessary to use decorative wax, which is again applied with a brush to the entire surface. Wax is expensive (a jar of about 500 rubles per toilet, you can dilute it with water a little to save money before applying), and some craftsmen suggest using not a decorative composition, but heated beeswax of a low grade. I must say right away that I have not tried to do this, and I am not sure of the effectiveness of such methods, although they probably have the right to life. In general, we take decorative wax and cover the applied paint with it:
It turns out something like this. Unfortunately, the damned podium really spoils the impression, but in the houses of this series there is no way to hide it (there is an option to lay it with a tile or make a better casting). You can still break part of the ceiling, fill it with foam and then with a self-leveling mortar, but this is fraught with consequences (the ceiling in the toilet on the lower floor may crack).
After the wax has dried, the surface is completely ready for use. It is advisable not to stain textured coatings, as they are difficult to clean due to their texture. Yes, you can’t leave such a texture unsanded, because otherwise clothes will cling to it. Now let's create a more complex coating.
Room #2 - a room in the building series 1-LG-600
Here we have a wall with a plastic window equipped with slopes on sandwich panels, which we installed. The wall is sheathed with GKLV sheets using frameless technology and plastered (visual alignment), and then primed with the Aquastop Escaro primer in two layers:
Let's apply Tex Universal texture paint to the wall, getting a surface known as "tree bark". Tinted texture paint, VDAK paint (“Tex facade”, tinted), decorative wax to protect the surface are used. I warn you right away that there are other technologies for obtaining this surface, and one of them is described here, and not the simplest one. First, we apply texture paint to the wall with a flute brush, as in the first version, having previously tinted it. Need to tint all paint, because then you will not be able to get exactly the same color manually:
Please note that the application methods are now different from the previous ones: we make strokes wider, we take more paint, and we smear it more actively.
We blot the entire surface, and quickly. You can use a roller, but then the texture will be somewhat different, coarser and more voluminous. After we have taken the paint in this way, we need to take a spatula (preferably Japanese) and begin to “pull” the paint layer along with us. You sort of smooth it out by removing the sharp edges:
Do not press hard on the spatula - just calmly stretch the entire area, with calm movements. There is no need to twitch and rattle - everything is smooth, thoughtful, carefully rubbed. Actually, we have already got our “tree bark”, and you can just cover it with wax. However, the idea was somewhat more complicated, and therefore we lightly sand the surface with 100-grain paper. Then we take the “cocoa” / “dark brown” color scheme, diluted with water, and lightly paint over our texture (it should look like creme brulee with chocolate chips) :
We got an interesting painted surface. We sand it with paper with a grain of 100 or 120 for smoothing and cover it with protective wax:
"Tree bark" is ready. This coating requires painstaking work, so it is more difficult to make it than the “antique wall” (in our version), but sometimes this work justifies itself. Of course, there are all sorts of other types of coatings and textures, but it is not possible to talk about them within the framework of one article. However, there will be other publications on this topic. Now you see that painting walls with texture paint is not at all difficult - this work can be mastered and put into practice quite quickly. In conclusion, a little advice: when you are going to create a coating unknown to you, first take a piece of plasterboard and make a sample on it, and then start working on the object so that there is nothing to redo.
Finally, if you are making texture paint not for yourself, but for a customer, it is advisable to bring / bring samples to him and show him, as this is sometimes of great importance: it is one thing to see in a photograph, and another, as they say, to “feel”. However, I did a lot of similar works and without any samples at all, and even without photographs, convincing the customer only with the power of imagination. And all of them were satisfied, I assure you - after all, a well-executed texture looks great, especially in combination with new doors and stacked slatted ceilings with lighting =)
- Features and benefits of texture paint
- Types of tools for work
- Application
Texture paint is a novelty that allows you to give the surface of the walls any texture and texture. A variety of color shades can be created independently by adding various additives.
Modern texture paint is a versatile material. It provides a decorative coating, and at the same time levels the surface. Stylish, wear-resistant textured enamel gives the facade an interesting appearance and protects against various harmful natural factors.
Features and benefits of texture paint
Texture paint is a material that simultaneously has the properties of plaster and paint. It is used for brick, wood, plasterboard, concrete, gypsum and other types of structures.
Its main advantages:
- long service life;
- resistance to chemicals;
- good ecological and masking properties;
- ease of work;
- affordable cost.
Facade paints perform several functions: they protect against atmospheric precipitation and give buildings an aesthetic appearance.
Characteristics of modern material
The facing mixture is a dispersed mass with the addition of acrylic. For tinting, color is used.
Durability implies the absence of defects after prolonged use: yellowing, cracking, shedding. Texture paint creates a special spectacular look, hides small defects.
High decorative properties and excellent protection against the influence of atmospheric precipitation - these qualities of the material allow it to be widely used for finishing work: both for restoration and for new buildings.
The texture material is excellent for covering surfaces where increased resistance to fracture is needed.
A wall treated with textured paint has a greater resistance to mechanical stress, and therefore is used for finishing walls subject to strong abrasive wear.
Smoothes cracks, does not emit harmful substances, has no smell, has high adhesion - these characteristics of facade paint allow it to be widely used for exterior finishing work.
It does not form condensation, has a wide temperature range of use and is resistant to sunlight.
Dark colors are subject to significant temperature fluctuations because they absorb solar radiation, and you need to take this factor into account when choosing a color scheme.
Types of tools for work
Technological methods of applying paint affect the appearance of the surface.
Facade paint is applied in a thicker layer than in the case of traditional paint. It does not interfere with air circulation, tolerates temperature extremes, frost, high humidity.
Texture materials with the addition of acrylic binders make it possible to obtain a durable, plastic coating that does not deteriorate from exposure to ultraviolet radiation or harmful atmospheric precipitation.
Application tools
- sprayers;
- rollers;
- spatulas;
- sponges;
- combs.
With pneumatic spraying, you need to correctly select the air pressure on the sprayer (about 6 atmospheres) and the distance to the surface to be treated.
With the help of textured material, you can bring any design fantasies to life with little financial outlay. Any area painted with this paint can be easily repaired if a new composition is applied to the damaged area.
Even a non-professional can paint the facade with a roller, because the technology of the work is simple and does not require special skills.
Considering that it is not necessary to level and grind the walls much, you can reduce the cost of material consumption, work and save time.
Application
The main stages of work: preparation of the surface and paint, its application to the facade, decoration.
Texture paint Universal
Decorating consists in painting the finished wall or applying additional layers.
You can choose any shades for the facade to your liking, if you add color to the solution in various proportions. If the surface has significant defects, then it is better to trim it with putty.
The range of textured enamels is large, and you can use them to give the surface both a smoother and a very rough structure. The consumption of material with a rough structure is greater than with a smoother one, but with such material you can create a greater variety of patterns, and it dries faster.
Before work, you need to prepare the surface so that the paint can be securely fixed and maintain strength for a long time. The surface must be free of dirt and dry.
Texture materials are applied to a durable surface, both previously painted and new, and visually perfectly smooth out ugly walls. They are made from inexpensive components, which provided them with a low price.
The easiest method of applying mortar to walls is with a roller. The paint is pre-mixed with a mixer and the desired color is added. If you use a texture roller, then patterns will appear on the surface that imitate a variety of textures.
The roller is abundantly moistened with water, and washed from the solution in a timely manner. It is imperative to immediately finish one wall so that after drying no seams are visible. Within 5-7 hours after drying, you can apply another layer or paint the surface with classic paint.
If you apply a pattern with a spatula, then the technology of work is different, and the main thing is the creation of the same pattern on the entire surface of the wall. Divorces, waves, herringbones, imitation of stone or wood - textured mixtures provide an interesting relief surface.
Resistance to temperature extremes, sunlight, mechanical stress ensured the widespread use of textured enamels. They hide minor defects and visually significantly improve the surface.
Responsible surface preparation, the correct choice of materials, compliance with the recommendations of manufacturers will allow the facade of the building to be operated in excellent condition for a long time and without repairs.

To date, texture paint for walls is very popular among finishing materials. With its help, you can achieve a relief surface, create a unique texture, even save on preparatory work. The consistency of the paint is very dense and viscous, when applied, the thickness of the coating is much greater than that of a conventional dye. Consequently, the time for preparatory work is reduced, since there is no need to perfectly level the surface of the walls. Optionally, this paint can be used for the ceiling.
The composition of the texture dye includes a binder acrylic polymer. Thanks to this, the material has the following qualities:
- it is used both for external, and for internal works;
- with increased moisture resistance, resistant to temperature fluctuations and precipitation;
- does not allow the appearance of mold;
- durable, resistant to chemical attack;
- decorative relief is not modified;
- easy to maintain, environmentally friendly;
- used for texturing walls with uneven surfaces;
- by adding color pigment it is possible to achieve any shade.
On the video: how to apply the Fur coat effect.
Types of paint and popular brands
Texture paint for walls is divided into categories that differ from each other in composition, with its help a relief texture is achieved:
- finishing composition for the facade surface;
- textured paint material for interior decoration;
- universal paint (for internal and external works);
- fine-grained dye;
- paint texture with a coarse-grained composition.
When choosing a material for decorative painting of walls (or for a ceiling), you should not give preference to cheap compositions. First, consult with professional builders who have been performing finishing work for several years.
- "TEX Universal"– the paint is intended for interior and exterior decoration. It can be used to cover walls in the bathroom, kitchen, as it has increased moisture resistance. The durable composition of the paint allows it to be applied in one coat on cement or concrete surfaces.
- "Optimist" - an acrylic-based material, also designed for outdoor and indoor use. Its spectacular texture will help hide minor wall defects.
On the video: a guide to applying decorative materials Optimist.
Tools and materials for work
To paint the walls with texture paint, you will need to purchase the following tools and materials:
- acrylic putty;
- primer;
- spatula of medium size;
- cuvette (tray) for paint;
- rags;
- rollers (normal and structural);
- scraper;
- foam sponge;
- texture paint;
- overalls.
If you do not have a structural roller, you can easily make it yourself. To do this, you need a coarse rag. Fasten the rag with a thread to the roller and get to work.
Preparing walls for painting
The walls must first be cleaned of contamination. This can be done with water, detergent and a rag. Use a spatula or scraper to remove the remnants of the old coating. If there are cracks or potholes on the surface, seal them with acrylic putty. After complete drying, cover the entire wall with a primer. Leave to dry for approximately 12 hours.
Preparation before painting is required. Texture material can hide only minor wall errors. A primer will help the paint adhere to the surface more firmly.
Paint is usually sold in powder or liquid form. First, read the instructions, dilute the powder with water, using a construction mixer, and mix the finished paint thoroughly. Now you can add color pigment or mix several paints to get the desired shade. Pigment should be added during mixing, so the consistency of the paint will be as homogeneous as possible.
Do a test run before you start painting. On a small piece of cardboard, make a few test strokes with a roller.
Effect Options
In the process of applying texture paint, one should take into account whether the pigment is correctly selected, whether it is compatible with the dye, and also choose the desired technique for applying the material. Thanks to these components, you can get a unique relief. Conditionally finishing can be divided into several types:
- Marseille wax. Externally, the surface resembles a combination of tree bark with natural stone. After the texture paint has completely dried, it is necessary to cover the surface with wax. This will give the walls more depth and a luxurious effect.
- Relief. If you want to create a relief transition of small dots and thin strokes on the wall, sawdust and quartz chips will help you with this. Materials should be added to the paint and mixed thoroughly. Adjusting the degree of relief is not difficult. If a minimum surface granularity is required, sand can be added instead of quartz chips. Here everything will depend on your imagination.
- Atacama. To create a three-dimensional surface of the walls, it is necessary to add fine metal shavings and sand to the acrylic dye in equal proportions. Such a composition will create an optical illusion. From different corners of the room, it will seem to you that the wall has a reflective velvety base filled with volume.
- Misuri. The most popular type of surface coating. It's pretty easy to get this effect. Water and modified starch are added to the paint. After drying, the wall becomes glossy. Sometimes a pigment filler is added to the composition, which allows you to achieve a pearly sheen. The paint is applied to the wall in chaotic stains, and the effect of wet lye is obtained.
Before painting, be sure to wear protective clothing and goggles. This will protect your eyes and body from getting paint.
Texture paint technique
The consumption of materials depends on how the texture paint will be applied and the relief of the coating. Methods for applying the coloring composition are varied. For painting work, you can use classic building tools such as a spray gun and brushes.
The spray gun is used for painting large surfaces. With it, you can adjust the flow of the jet on the wall, thereby creating a relief texture. This painting technique can be applied even to the ceiling.
Paint brushes are used for painting small areas. With their help, you can create careless or even lines, smooth stains or a smooth glossy surface. Brushes should be purchased with a hard bristle. The relief pattern is applied in the third layer.
All these tools are appropriate for light, delicate, classic decorative painting. If you want to give your interior originality, improvised devices will help you to set the desired zest.
The easiest way to create a relief pattern on the wall is to depict chaotic stains. To do this, apply texture paint to the surface. Without waiting for it to dry, use a dry brush to make strokes. With this technique, you can make a variety of relief patterns. On a damp surface with the help of improvised means, you can create a unique decor.
If you wrap the roller with a thick rope, and then walk along the freshly painted wall in different directions, you get the effect of bamboo stalks. Various items that at first glance are not compatible with repairs are suitable for work. You can make thin wavy strips with a regular comb. Also, crumpled newspapers, rags, washcloths, etc. will go in to create relief.
Of course, you can greatly simplify the task by buying a special texture roller in a hardware store.
Such a tool may consist of two rollers: the first is standard, soft; the second - with a printed pattern. When painting, you can use two colors of paint, so the relief print will stand out more clearly.
Progress of work: first paint the wall completely in one color, then moisten the roller in a cuvette with paint of a different color and apply strokes on the wall with light movements. Visually demarcate the surface so as not to jump from one lane to another. The wall must be painted in one step, otherwise there will be gaps and borders in the relief.
In the process of work, the structural roller may become clogged with paint, and then you will not achieve the desired pattern. To avoid such an incident, periodically rinse it under warm running water.
If the relief pattern will be applied with a second layer, do not forget that the first one must dry completely. To do this, 12 hours should elapse between painting. When texture painting is completed, all windows and doors should be closed in the room for a day. The temperature must be at least 18 degrees so that the paint adheres tightly to the wall.
By itself, the technique of applying texture paint is not complicated. To create a pattern, you do not need the skills of an artist, just a little imagination. Such decoration is appropriate for the ceiling, room walls and facades. The main thing is that thanks to this painting you will mask small cracks and surface irregularities.
