Rollers

Paint rollers

Paint rollers are used for painting large and flat surfaces. The tool is used for painting walls, ceilings, floors, facades, and even furniture. Its main advantage is the speed and uniformity of paint application. You can buy a paint roller in Ukraine at the WADA store: with delivery and professional consultation.

Paint rollers: what are they, what are their advantages?

Paint rollers consist of a handle and a roller. The tool is convenient and effective in the painting process. Compared to a brush, paint rollers have several significant advantages.

First, covering a large area with paint is several times faster. Secondly, an even layer of paint. Thanks to circular movements and the structure of the roller, the paint lays down without streaks, overflows, or noticeable transitions. Thirdly, minimal splashing of the paint is ensured.

In addition, paint rollers are easy to change: it is enough to replace only the roller cover, without needing to buy a new tool. Modern models have telescopic handles, so you can paint ceilings or high areas without a ladder. Due to its versatility, the tool has become a standard in household and professional repair.

What kinds of rollers are there: types, sizes, pile?

Which roller to choose? When selecting, you should consider not only the size or price. Also important are:

• material;
• pile length;
• compatibility with paint.

Foam rollers are suitable for flat surfaces but are not compatible with aggressive compounds. Velour rollers are ideal for applying oil or alkyd paints. Fur rollers are universal and often used with latex and acrylic mixtures. Polyamide and polyester rollers are characterized by wear resistance and hold paint well.

The size of the pile (in millimeters) is also critically important. Short pile (up to 5 mm) ensures smooth application on perfectly leveled walls and furniture. Medium pile (6 to 12 mm) works well with textured plaster, while long pile (12+ mm) is suitable for rough, uneven surfaces like concrete or decorative brick.

When choosing a roller for painting walls, it is important to consider the type of paint. For water-emulsion paints, a tool with synthetic pile is required; for latex paints – strong and dense rollers; for acrylic paints – fur or polyester rollers.

Choosing a roller for painting different surfaces

To make painting convenient and efficient, a roller for painting walls must be selected based on the surface type. A tool with a short pile is suitable for smooth surfaces because it applies paint evenly without splashing. For rough surfaces, it is better to choose a long pile. Such a roller penetrates into all recesses.

Which roller is best for painting floors? The optimum choice is a medium pile with a large width of up to 25 centimeters, so the coating lays down quickly and without gaps. The handle should be strong, with the possibility of extension. A light roller with a telescopic handle and anti-drip nozzle is suitable for painting ceilings to reduce hand strain and prevent paint from getting on the floor.

How to care for the roller after painting?

Proper care of the roller after use extends the tool’s service life and ensures quality paint application next time. After each painting session, be sure to wash the tool with warm water using mild soap or a special cleaner, without twisting the pile.

Squeeze the roller carefully to avoid damaging its structure. If the pile is deformed, has lost elasticity, or leaves streaks, it is better to replace the roller.
