KNOCKDOWN CEILING TEXTURE
Popular in Calgary, knockdown ceilings, sometimes known as “skip trowel” or “California knock down”, represent a sought-after type of texture. This involves applying a special drywall mud, then once slightly set, it’s gently “knocked down” using a knockdown knife or trowel.
The outcome? A texture hinting at stucco, but smoother and more refined. Beyond its visual charm, this texture is pragmatic.

Key Advantages:
Modern Aesthetics:
The best knockdown ceilings captivate with a contemporary allure. Subtle variations in the texture refract light in intriguing patterns, offering a lively alternative to the mundanity of a smooth ceiling.
Conceal Imperfections:
Imperfections in the ceiling, be it from water damage, fissures, or other issues, become history. Knockdown textures are pros at hiding imperfections, rendering the ceiling uniformly textured.
Customizable:
From subtle to pronounced, knockdown textures can vary. Tell us your preference, and our texture services adapt.
Durable and Easy Maintenance:
Beyond its look, knockdown ceilings are stalwarts against wear. Plus, their upkeep is a breeze. They’re simpler to clean than the old popcorn ceiling texture, guaranteeing a pristine ceiling for years.
Sound Dampening Qualities:
One lesser-known benefit of knockdown ceilings is their contribution to a quieter living environment. The unique structure and density of knockdown textures serve as an acoustic barrier, helping to dampen and absorb sound. This means reduced noise transmission between rooms and floors
