The HOMAX® brand today announced the launch of its newest innovation, Homax PRO GRADE® Wall & Ceiling Texture, a product designed to simplify repair and finishing work by addressing one of the most persistent challenges in wall and ceiling texture application: clogging. The new formula features a clog-resistant design and a lightweight, easy-to-spray composition that allows professionals and DIY users alike to achieve consistent, high-quality texture finishes more quickly and with less frustration.
The new product line includes versatile two-in-one wall and ceiling applications and offers both Orange Peel and Knockdown textures, meaning users can rely on a single spray product to match the most common contractor-applied finishes. This is particularly valuable for repairs or remodeling projects where blending new work seamlessly with existing surfaces is essential. Homax PRO GRADE Wall & Ceiling Texture is engineered to deliver an invisible repair®, allowing surfaces to appear uniform without telltale signs of patching or retouching.
A key differentiator in this new product is the patented adjustable nozzle, which allows the user to control texture output for a precise match to the original finish. Whether replicating Knockdown, Splatter, or Orange Peel styles on walls or ceilings, the nozzle offers easy customization and reduces the risk of over- or under-application. The new formula’s low-density composition aids in consistent spray distribution and reduces the overall weight of the can, making extended use more comfortable.
Rachel Kracht, senior director of retail marketing for Homax and Pittsburgh Paints Company, explained that the innovation directly responds to long-standing customer feedback from contractors and maintenance professionals.
“We recognized clogging to be a top complaint among professionals in the aerosol wall repair industry, leading the Homax brand to develop an innovative formula that directly combats this pain point,” said Kracht. “Unlike other textured aerosols where dense product settles to the bottom of the can, our formula remains suspended, resisting clogs for the easiest application and time savings.”
To meet the varying needs of users and different project conditions, Homax PRO GRADE Wall & Ceiling Texture is available in both water-based and oil-based versions. The Orange Peel and Knockdown textures are offered in a water-based formula that provides low odor, easier cleanup, and a comfortable working environment—particularly helpful for indoor or occupied spaces. Meanwhile, the oil-based Orange Peel variety dries within approximately five minutes, helping accelerate job turnover for professionals who need to complete multiple repairs in a short timeframe.
The product includes a variety of features that contribute to efficiency, precision, and comfort:
- Clog-Resistant Formula: The redesigned formula prevents the material from settling at the bottom of the can, reducing interruptions during application and minimizing wasted product.
- Two-in-One Wall and Ceiling Usage: A single product that performs reliably on both vertical and overhead surfaces helps simplify purchasing and preparation.
- Lightweight, High Coverage Performance: The low-density formulation provides coverage of up to 100 square feet per container, ensuring excellent spread without unnecessary weight or strain.
- Low Odor and Quick Dry Options: The water-based version emits minimal odor, while the oil-based formula dries rapidly, shortening wait times between steps.
- Ergonomic Grip Design: The can is constructed for comfortable use, reducing strain and allowing for steadier application control.
Kracht emphasized that the product is not only an improvement in performance but also a more efficient alternative to traditional texturing tools. “We’ve engineered this product to offer time-saving benefits for our customers the moment they enter the store,” she said. “Homax Pro Grade Wall & Ceiling Texture is a faster, simpler professional alternative to a hopper gun. With our clog-resistant technology, two-in-one wall and ceiling actuator, and texture coverage versatility, it has never been easier to deliver an invisible repair.”
The new Homax PRO GRADE Wall & Ceiling Texture is now available at major retailers across the United States, including The Home Depot®, Menards®, and Lowe’s®. By joining the existing Homax product portfolio, the new line reinforces the brand’s long-standing reputation for practical, effective solutions in drywall finishing, patching, and repair.
