1. The materials of paint rollers

First of all, we can understand the paint rollers from the production materials, because there are many kinds of materials for the production of paint rollers. The bristles of brush rollers of different materials have different characteristics.

paint rollers bristles are made of nylon, eye velvet, polyester, wool velvet and sponge. The paint rollers made of nylon or polyester are more suitable for applying latex, acrylic or oil-based paint. Polyester fiber is wear-resistant, and it will not be easily worn off after repeated painting on the wall, so if you are worried about your brush roller being easily damaged, you can choose a paint roller with polyester fiber bristles. Compared with other materials, brush rollers with woolen bristles can absorb more paint, so you can dip the paint once, but apply more of the wall area.

2. The category of paint rollers

In addition to the different materials of the bristles of the paint rollers, their lengths are also different. Generally speaking, there are three types of brush rollers: long hair, medium hair and short hair.

The length of the bristles of the paint rollers will affect the effect of brushing. The long-haired paint rollers will paint fine texture, so it will form a texture effect, and the painted wall will have a bumpy feeling. If you don't want this effect, but just want a smooth wall, then a short-haired paint roller must be your best choice. The short-haired paint rollers will provide you with a smooth wall. Believe you have guessed it, the paint rollers with medium-bristles have an effect between unevenness and smoothness. No matter which length of paint rollers you choose, here is a little trick to judge the quality of the paint rollers. You can touch the surface of the paint rollers with your fingers. If the bristles are very tight, then the quality of the paint rollers is good.

 

3. Skills of using paint rollers

If knowing the category of paint rollers can help you choose the best paint rollers, then learning how to use the paint rollers can help you better paint.

Many people put the painting tools in the paint bucket and quickly took it out to paint. But in fact, this method does not give full play to the best brushing effect of the paint rollers. The best way is to do not paint the wall immediately after the roller brush fully absorbs the paint, but after pressing out the excess paint, use the painting tools to paint the wall. If you want to paint the walls at high places, you can connect the grip of the paint rollers to the extension rod, so that you can easily paint the walls at high places without a ladder. I suggest you choose a grip with a thread on the bottom. The grip of this design will be more firmly fixed to the extension.
