Texture options
The right texture depends on the area, use and chosen waterproofing system. Texture also changes how a color looks in direct sun and shade.
Smooth
A refined appearance for appropriate smaller areas and design conditions.
Semi-smooth
A hand-troweled finish that balances a cleaner look with practical surface texture.
Knockdown
A recognizable textured finish used across many walkable waterproof surfaces.
Orange peel
A consistent, lightly stippled texture with more visual movement than a smooth finish.
Approve the physical sample—not the screen.
Phones and monitors display color differently. Lighting, texture and application can also shift the final appearance, so the project color should always be confirmed from the applicable physical sample.
