Repair work in a room is always characterized not only by the right choice of finishing materials, but also by tools for their use. As a rule, controversial questions always arise with the design of the ceiling surface, which at the moment may be tensioned, plastered, plastered or painted, but painting the ceiling, which roller is best?

What determines the choice of the roller

What roller is better to paint the ceiling? It's pretty simple.
The choice of this type of tool directly depends on the quality of paint and its capabilities. Also, do not disregard the quality of the surface itself.
So:

• The easiest to paint is a plasterboard surface that is capable of perceiving all types of paint.

Council Before painting drywall, it is imperative to prime it with a special agent.

With plaster, the situation is a bit more complicated, since after applying the paint it is able to absorb it and the choice of tools must be approached in more detail, as well as the choice of tool.

Varieties of tools such as roller

Selection of rollers

How to choose a roller for painting the ceiling? We need to start with an assessment of all the properties and qualities of existing types of tools.
Rollers for painting the ceiling can be:

• Domestic production.
• Imported.

Many will not immediately understand what the difference is. The main difference of the import roller from the domestic tool is that it has a much smaller size, but the fur coats are almost the same for those and for those.
There is a large selection of rollers at the moment, they can be classified by:

• The manufacturer.
• Handle sizes.
• The size of the drum and its design.
• The quality of the coat.

The photo shows examples of the tool.

Council Before you decide which roller is needed to paint the ceiling, you need to choose its size that will be more convenient to work with. On this depends not only the quality of painting, but also the speed of work.

Consider more:

• With the manufacturer everything is clear. But the size of the handle can be varied.
  Its length starts from 30 cm and ends at 50 cm. It is these dimensions that are more optimal for ease of operation.
• As for the import production of rollers, then their handles can be 15 cm. Accordingly, the drum itself will be smaller.
  This type of tool is not used for large-scale painting of the ceiling. They are working on painting decorative elements of the interior.
• The size of the drum on the roller also has a difference. it can be from 20 cm to 40 cm. These are the standard tool sizes that are most often used in repair work.
  Sometimes you can find a larger size, but using such a roller alone is not very convenient.
• What is needed roller for painting the ceiling? Paint with it should not just fit well on the surface, but evenly distributed on it.

Properties and advantages of rollers:

• Uniform distribution of the paint on the surface. If you choose the right type of tool, then problems with such work will not arise.
• Good absorption. The roller should absorb the paint so that its excess can be easily removed with a special container.
• Practicality - to use this type of tool is much easier and more convenient than a simple paint brush.
• Increase the speed of paint work, as the roller drum is able to capture most of the surface than when using a brush.

Along with numerous advantages, there are also disadvantages of such a tool:

• If the roller handle is plastic, then it will not be able to withstand a lot of pressure on itself.
• For some manufacturers, the fastening of the drum is not very high quality and in the process of painting the surface you can be left without tools in your hands.
• It is not possible to paint inaccessible places on the ceiling surface. These are coals and ceiling plinth, as the roller can only be used on a flat surface.

Features:

• In some cases, the price of such a tool is slightly overpriced. But, again, it all depends on the name of the manufacturer and on its market reputation. There are rollers that are cheap, but their quality does not suffer from this.
• The drum on the roller can be fixed on one side or two. A one-way mount makes the tool versatile, as it makes it possible to change the quality of the drum's fur coat and its size.
• If the drum is fixed on both sides, then the roller can be used with only one type of fur coat.
• The main advantage of all the painting tools is that they can be easily cleaned after the execution of a series of surface painting works.

Council To clean the roller from paint or any other means, it will be enough to place it in a container with water, in the case of using a water-based paint or in a solvent, in the case of using other types of coloring agents.

It should be noted that the roller with any quality of the coat should not be in a contaminated state for a long time. This will spoil its structure of the coat and even have the opportunity not to use the roller in the future.
Sometimes it takes 30 minutes for a tool to become unusable.
