What is bumpy drywall called?
Bumpy drywall is commonly referred to as textured drywall or popcorn ceiling drywall, but more specifically, it’s known as orange peel drywall or stomped drywall depending on the texture. The texture is achieved by applying a joint compound to the drywall surface and then using a specialized tool or a texture sprayer to create the desired pattern.
There are various types of bumpy drywall textures, including:
- Orange peel: a texture that resembles the skin of an orange
- Knockdown: a texture that’s created by applying joint compound and then “knocking down” the texture with a specialized tool
- Stomped: a texture that’s achieved by stomping a texture brush or broom onto the joint compound
The bumpy drywall texture serves several purposes, including hiding imperfections on the drywall surface and adding visual interest to a room. The texture can also help to reduce the appearance of seams and joints, creating a more uniform appearance.
