With a patented, adjustable nozzle that provides a professional match to original contractor-applied Knockdown and Splatter textures on both walls and ceilings, Homax Pro Grade Wall & Ceiling Texture DELIVERS AN INVISIBLE REPAIR coating and conveniently hides imperfections. The clog-resistant formula is designed for easy application and reusability with a lightweight, low-density formula.
“We recognized clogging to be a top complaint among professionals in the aerosol wall repair industry, leading the Homax brand to develop an innovative formula that directly combats this pain point,” said Rachel Kracht, senior director of retail marketing, Homax and Pittsburgh Paints Company. “Unlike other textured aerosols where dense product settles to the bottom of the can, our formula remains suspended, resisting clogs for the easiest application and time savings.”
Offered with a water (Orange Peel and Knockdown) or oil-based (Orange Peel) formula, Homax Pro Grade Wall & Ceiling Texture provides the following advanced features:
“We’ve engineered this product to offer time-saving benefits for our customers the moment they enter the store,” said Kracht. “Homax Pro Grade Wall & Ceiling Texture is a faster, simpler professional alternative to a hopper gun. With our clog-resistant technology, two-in-one wall and ceiling actuator, and texture coverage versatility, it has never been easier to deliver an invisible repair.”
Available at THE HOME DEPOT, MENARDS and LOWE’S locations across the U.S., Homax Pro Grade Wall & Ceiling Texture will join the Homax brand’s portfolio of aerosol textures and home improvement solutions. The Homax brand is part of The Pittsburgh Paints Company, a leading producer of interior and exterior paints, stains, caulks, repair products, adhesives, and sealants for homeowners and professionals in the United States and Canada.
