What is orange peel texture?
Orange peel texture is a type of finish applied to walls and ceilings that resembles the skin of an orange, hence the name. It’s a popular choice for adding a bit of visual interest and hiding minor imperfections in the drywall.
The texture is created by spraying a mixture of drywall compound and water onto the surface using a specialized spray gun. Once the mixture is applied, it is allowed to dry, creating a slightly bumpy, dimpled surface.
This texture can vary in coarseness depending on the size of the spray nozzle and the pressure used during application. It’s a common finish in both residential and commercial buildings.
