How Long after Texturing Ceiling Can I Paint? Let’s look at some more questions that often come up about this topic. Painting a newly textured ceiling will provide protection to that area and make a difference when trying to clean, not to mention just look better. If the ceiling is unpainted when you try to wipe off dust, it will rub right into the texture making it look worse. Wiping dust off the ceiling is much easier when painted.Over time, the unpainted ceiling will turn color where a painted ceiling will stay the color of the paint. Another reason is that even though the ceiling seems so bright and white when unfinished, if it’s painted you might enjoy the white paint color even more.It also protects against moisture in the air. This means you can clean the ceiling if need be. Painting seals the texture from discoloration as well as making the product more durable, if by chance it was ever rubbed against.So, why should you paint a newly textured ceiling? A durable paint, on the other hand, will help to prevent this if you have to wipe it down for any reason.
If the ceiling does start to take on a yellowish hue, then what? Well, if you haven’t painted it, you can’t really wiped it off now can you? If you don’t know the answer then no, you can’t wipe it because the texture is not a finished product and will end up with embedded streaks from where you trying to wipe it. Ceilings will absorb smoke and other things floating in the air but it will take longer and be less noticeable. A ceiling, on the other hand, is not rubbed against or knocked into. On a wall it would be more prevalent because walls get touched, knocked and wiped often, so the mud would be discolored and just a mess. Over time, if left untreated, it could turn yellow or have floating debris or dust stuck to it. Leaving it unpainted is the equivalent to mudding drywall, sanding it then leaving it as is without painting. This material, by nature, is not a finished product. Why Should You Paint a Newly Textured Ceiling?Ī newly textured ceiling is a spraytex or usually some sort of a knockdown material which resembles drywall mud. In this article, I will take a look at both sides of this decision, covering what you need to know. There is both good reason to paint and also to not bother painting a newly textured ceiling. Ultimately, it is the home-owners decision whether to paint or not. This is a great question and I am guessing the majority of homeowners have no idea what the answer is. Typically, new home construction spray paints (primer) the ceiling before texture is applied. There are times when these ceilings are not painted. So, do you really need to paint new textured ceilings? Yes, you should paint newly textured ceilings. We really need to talk about this further, however, to understand just what it is. But is it a finished product? It is a bit of both, I would say. When it is applied, it typically looks so good it appears to be a finished product. A newly textured ceiling is a ceiling that has had some type of application applied to it, like a spraytex and/or knockdown ceiling, in most cases.
