Why Wellington Homes Are Embracing Texture

Texture painting isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a clever solution to common Wellington home issues:

Disguising Imperfections: Many older Wellington homes have walls that aren’t quite perfect. Texture can skilfully hide minor flaws, cracks, and unevenness.
Sound Absorption: In compact city apartments or homes near busy roads, textured walls can help reduce echo and absorb ambient noise.
Moisture Resistance: Some textured finishes offer additional protection against Wellington’s infamous dampness.
Energy Efficiency: Certain textures can improve insulation, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Unique Character: In a city that celebrates individuality, textured walls allow you to express your personal style in a truly unique way.
