Paint roller

A paint roller ( also paint roller or paint roller ) consists of a bow-like curved metal rod with a handle and a roller for applying wall paint.

With paint rollers large areas are preferably processed because they ensure an even application of color. To window frame or edges, where a clean finish is required, on the other hand brush or paint pad be used.

Design

Paint roller are executed in different roll lengths. Usually, however, lengths between 11 cm and 27 cm are used.

Most handles are designed so that they can be plugged onto a length-adjustable telescopic rod easily.

To speed up operations and electrical paint rollers are offered. Using a pump (battery or cable operated ) the color is drawn directly from the paint bucket in the roller. To apply the electric paint roller is mainly used for low viscosity, water- dispersion paints and latex paints. However, a very big problem with these versions is the color change, and the heavy weight of the scooter ( by the color in or on the scooter ). In addition, most systems work neither reliable nor splash proof.

In conventional paint rollers interchangeable rollers are attached to the brackets that are provided by immersion in paint buckets with paint. These are easier to clean than rolls with care.

The paint roller heritage sets are available in countless variations. Depending on the application are different fabrics or skins, which also differ in the pile height, for use.

Types of fabric

As a reference, the paint roller, that will hold the wall color and transferred to the wall, different materials come with appropriate properties for use:

• Lambskins should be selected natural skins of the highest quality. You ask for the painter still the lace respect absorbency, color perseverance, stamina of the wool fibers and opacity dar. There is no fluff and the fabric is spitting. With proper cleaning and care of the sheepskin is very durable. For best results, lambskin roller should be dipped in water before use and then rolled on a dry, clean surface until they are dry. So loose wool fibers are removed prone. After use, they should be carefully washed with lukewarm water and dried and stored hanging. A special paint roller washing device facilitates the tedious hand washing.

• Under the trade name Vestan Art skins are sold from a heavy polyester quality with high absorbency. Paint roller with this stocking are used primarily for simple coatings and as disposable scooters.

• Velor is suitable for all viscous coating materials such as oil paint or varnish. The height of the pile is largely lower than that of lambskin and varies between 4 mm and 25 mm.

• Foam covers are mainly used lacquerware used because they provide due to their fine pores for a smooth coat.
