Can you texture an interior cinder block wall?

Answer 1

use dura-bond. it comes in bags and you have to mix it. according to the directions on the bag it can be used over cement in DRY locations. Also keep in mind that it comes in different ratings. The lower the number is the less time you have to work with it before it sets. I use the 45 alot, the 15 you would have to have 8 arms to get it on before it set. The 45 gives you about 30-45 minutes of working time depending on temperature.

If it's the rough cinder blocks, it will definately stick to it although it seems to stick to plaster pretty good and that is smooth so..................I do believe it will work for what you want.

Answer 4

I just textured a wall using joint compound; although, it wasn't on cinder block. I don't think you would have a problem getting joint compound to stick to cinder blocks though, AND nobody would know what you were hiding underneath!

I put joint compound on the wall using a trowel. Lightly sanded with 220 sandpaper, primed it, and then put a base coat of paint on. Next, I ragged a darker glaze color over that. Finally, I used a sealer to finish the job. The final look was awesome, and a friend said my entryway looked like a model home. SO, if you are going for a faux finish look, you could try this. If you are just trying to cover up the cinder block with some spray texture, then you should probaby choose another answer!

Hope this helps...

Answer 5

One option would be to glue 1/4" sheetrock to the cinder blocks. Then mud & tape, sand. and texturize like a regular wall.You will still need concrete anchors to hang anything on the wall of weight. This is how I would go.

Answer 6

sure you could texture about anything, but why would you want to do it to cinder block? isnt it textured enough? the easiest way would be to get a texturing gun( not sure the exact name but place like home depot would know) and texture material, then you'll need a decent size compresser and then paint if you want to paint over it which you probably should

Answer 7

Roger is correct but do not try to put it all on in one coat. Apply the mud and scrape it off. This will leaves the mud in the creaveses only. Let the joint compound (mud) dry over night and repeat. The reason to repeat is because the mud will shrink slightly when it dries and needs more put on it. Some people sand after it dries before recoating. If you take the drywall knife/ trowel and scrape the wall just enough to remove any high places and then recoat atleast twice but preferable 3 times seems to work the best. Sand smooth and brush off the dust before priming and then paint.

Answer 8

BEFORE you adopt any of the other finish surface suggested, I would highly recommend you clean and the paint the cinder-block with DryLok paint. They even make it in Latex formula.

This will make a nice vapor barrier, and help the finish you choose stick better, with less likelihood of moisture issues.

Answer 9

You can but it will be better to just cover it, you can fur out the walls and install drywall, or you can just glue up some paneling. The plaster will eventually start to crack off if you just try and texture it I'm afraid. Good Luck
