What is Texture Painting?

There used to be a time when people would give their walls a 3D effect after applying the paint roughly and then using different tools to add texture. However, with this method, the final look depended to a large extent on the expertise of the painter. Today, you can pick from different kinds of wall texture paints, such as Berger Texture Paints. Such paints are carefully created to give you just the finish you want. For instance, Berger Paints Florentina offers a 3D sandstone finish, while Solitaire provides a natural granite stone effect.

 

Why Choose Exterior Wall Texture?

Apart from adding a stylized, unique look, these paints are great at hiding imperfections on the wall. If you choose high-quality paint, you can also ensure humidity resistance and longevity. In some cases, regular paint might even highlight imperfections on the walls. In other cases, the walls might be pitted or too damaged to be effectively smoothed out with a sander. Such issues can be easily covered up with products like Berger Paints exterior wall texture paint.

 

Most importantly, you get to give your exteriors an exotic stone look, such as textured granite or marble, at a fraction of the cost of using real stones. Adding exterior wall textures also make the walls resistant to the extreme heat of the Indian summer, the heavy rains of the monsoon and the biting cold of winter. In fact, they are also resistant to fungal and algal growth. Also, these paints are very low maintenance, so you need not spend on your exteriors for years to come.

 

How to Choose the Right Exterior Wall Texture Paint

With simple tools like skip trowels, paint brushes, sponges and spray, you can create a wide variety of textures. But for that, you first need to decide on the type of look you want to give your exteriors.

 

Pick the Colour

Natural stones come in a wide range of colours, from shades of beige to greys and even peach. So, the first thing to decide on is the shade that will best suit the overall look you want to give your home. For instance, when you choose Crystal White or Briar from the Berger Paints Florentina Sandstone range of wall texture types, you get a neutral colour. You can then add various types of lighting and plants to enhance the look. On the other hand, if you pick the Brazilian Black Granite from the Berger Paints Solitaire Granite collection, you get a strikingly black exterior that will make your home stand out from the rest on the street.

 

Pick the Texture Type

Different types of wall textures give completely different looks to your exteriors. You can choose from the grainy granite look, uneven or smooth stone finish, orange peel, popcorn, rustic stucco and many more. So, make sure you look through the variety carefully to see which one appeals the most to you.

 

Check the Look with a Virtual Painter

To make an informed decision and to avoid disappointments later on, try out the colours that appeal the most to you on a virtual painter. It is a very simple, three-step process that lets you see first-hand how your walls will look with your chosen wall texture paint. You can even try out a combination of shades to pick one that looks the best. If you are still unsure, you can always consult with the Berger exterior texture paint professionals.

To get a superior-quality textured finish consider hiring experienced professionals. This way you get a completely stress-free experience of giving your exteriors a make-over. You could look through the Berger Paints texture catalogue and choose something like Solitaire – Stone, which is a pure acrylic emulsion that has been reinforced with coloured aggregates and quartz to give a natural stone look.
