Best compound for textured wall look?


Recommended Posts

Hi.
 

I’m looking to produce this effect (pics attached) in my porch as the walls are badly plastered.
 

Any ideas on what compound would be best to roll on the wall with a masonry roller and not break off the wall at slightest touch when dry?

 

Was looking at these two options which are available from my local:

 

British Gypsum Gyproc Joint Filler - 12.5kg | Wickes.co.uk https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Gyproc-Joint-Filler---12-5kg/p/148846

 

British Gypsum Gyproc Easi Fill 20 Compound - 5kg | Wickes.co.uk https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Gyproc-Easi-Fill-20-Compound---5kg/p/141939

 

Thanks in advance!

The joint filler sets a lot harder than the easi fill.  I am not convinced either will look good as a textured coating.  Why not just get the wall(s) skimmed smooth with multi finish?

Thanks. Cus I ain’t got bars of gold to pay plasterers rates these days…

 

It’s in the porch which is barely used and cannot justify the money to get someone to skim it. But want something that looks deliberately textured rather than terrible plaster.
