With home renovation season in full swing, contractors require products and tools that allow them to complete jobs in a timely and effective manner. The HOMAX brand of PPG Industries provides the ideal solution for quick and effective ceiling repair, a process that is typically challenging and time-consuming. In order to help contractors increase productivity, the Homax brand offers PRO GRADE popcorn ceiling texture products with INVISIBLE REPAIR capabilities that simplify popcorn ceiling repair and provide a time-saving solution. The advanced formula of Pro Grade popcorn ceiling texture replicates commercial popcorn texture aggregates typically found in homes, apartment buildings, hospitals and other residential and commercial structures. The product delivers Invisible Repair capabilities that match existing textures so the new texture blends seamlessly. As a result, contractors can achieve a professional texture match up to four times faster than with traditional repair methods, and with up to four times the coverage provided by traditional aerosols. Pro Grade popcorn ceiling texture can be used for popcorn ceiling repair projects, fixture removal repair, or to complete punch lists or patches. “One of the biggest concerns for the contractor or property manager is matching the existing ceiling texture without sacrificing too much time on the job,” said Mark Hembree, senior marketing manager – adhesives, sealants and finishing systems, PPG Architectural Coatings. “Pro Grade popcorn ceiling texture solves those problems by providing the convenience of an aerosol and a professional, seamless match in less time, with less mess and hassle than with traditional gun and hopper methods.” With a patented ergonomic grip designed to provide comfort and control, Pro Grade popcorn ceiling texture is easy to feather into existing popcorn ceiling textures and covers up to eight square feet. In addition, the texture can be ready to paint in 24 hours, if desired. With packaging that allows for easy storage, one container of Pro Grade popcorn ceiling texture can be used on multiple projects. After use, simply turn the integrated safety lock to store and reuse leftover texture for future jobs. The Pro Grade popcorn ceiling texture product is available in 14-ounce aerosol cans at independent paint and home improvement dealers, PPG PAINTS stores and home center locations nationwide. The Homax Pro Grade family of aerosol textures also includes Pro Grade orange peel oil-based, Pro Grade orange peel water-based and Pro Grade knockdown aerosol wall texture products, which also provide an efficient solution for contractors.
