textured finish
Rough coating applied
A textured finish is a surface treatment that creates tactile or visual irregularity rather than smoothness.
In painting, it might involve stippling, sponging, or adding sand to create dimension.
On walls, a textured finish like knockdown or orange peel hides imperfections.
The term applies across materials—metal, wood, plastic, fabric—wherever deliberate roughness or pattern replaces a smooth surface: The cabinet doors have a textured finish that mimics wood grain.
