® Brand Wall and
Ceiling Texture finish is a ready-
mixed texture which applies
easily and provides custom
designs and patterns for interior
surfaces.
Horizontal or Vertical Application
Panels may be applied horizon-
tally (long dimension across
studs or joists) or vertically (long
dimension parallel to studs or
joists). Horizontal application
using 12
Ј panel lengths is ideal
for walls because linear footage
of joints is minimized. If possi-
ble, span the entire wall or ceil-
ing from corner to corner. To
minimize joints, use the longest-
length panels available and off-
set all end joints in adjacent
rows.
