- 1.1 What is the most important in the selection of the
roller Among the huge number of devices for painting surfaces of different types, it is especially important to highlight the rollers. These simple tools have a fairly large list of benefits and are very popular. They are known for a long time, but not everyone knows how to choose a cushion for the wall of the apartment correctly. But it is from this will depend on the quality of the work done.
Types of paint rollers
Classification of modern rollers can be performed on different grounds. In addition, you should know that Russian manufacturers do it quite differently than their foreign partners. For example, on domestic goods you can see such characteristics as the name, material and purpose. The name is clear. On the use of the material for fur coats, the rollers are classified either on products made from natural fur cover or on products made from artificial coverings. By the method of assignment, they are divided into:
- Universal;
- Special;
- For simple work;
- For a certain type of paint.
That is, with this all clear and difficult, how to choose a roller for paint from a Russian manufacturer, does not cause. But with foreign goods there is confusion, since most countries have their own, a separate classification. Let's say, choosing a roller, made in Finland, you will have to choose from seven types of goods.
A completely different approach to the classification of its products is used by the Swedish company ANZA, one of the leading companies in this field, distinguishing only three types: mini, midi, maxi.
What is most important in the selection of the roller
Among all known parameters, the main feature of the tool is its coverage. It is from it will depend on the quality of the finished painting and the finished appearance of any surface. The material of a fur coat is an extremely important aspect and before you can choose a roller for painting the ceiling, you need to get acquainted with useful information. Of course, you can rely on the advice of the seller in the store, but whether she is truthful, there is no certainty.
The greater the surface roughness, the longer the pile should be.
For the manufacture of "clothes" for the roller, modern manufacturers use the following materials: 
- artificial( foam rubber, polyamide, polyacryl);
- natural( rubber, velor, felt, animal fur)
The variety of materials used indicates one more important feature of the tool - the choice of the length of the pile. There are certain length standards, from which a roller with a pile is used:
- up to 5 mm is used as a rule for varnishing, parquet, wood, metal;
- from 5 mm to 10 mm is used for painting of putty walls and ceilings in the apartment;
- from 5 mm to 20 mm is used for painting porous concrete surfaces, untreated wood and plaster with a rough surface;
- from 20 mm to 30 mm is used if the surface is made of concrete blocks, bricks and plasters with a strong roughness.
Experts say it's easier: smooth and even walls and ceilings paint with a short pile roller, and heavily rough and porous surfaces with a long pile.
It's difficult to doubt the usefulness of the roller. With it, the repair process is much faster and more comfortable. But this is only when choosing the right tool. Thus, it is not worth neglecting the information.
When choosing a long pile roller, remember that it will absorb a large amount of paint. This is not entirely economical, but, on the other hand, the surface will be covered with a thick, solid layer. The disadvantage is that the long pile is strongly deformed, bends, the villi are glued, leaving the bald spots when painting. Modern technologies allow this to be avoided and most manufacturers use special metal threads. They are weaved into the pile and make it more stable and durable. The tool lasts much longer, although it costs more.
Important!when painting the ceiling it is good to ground the surface with this you will be able to save the paint and unnecessarily apply extra layers.
Based on the disadvantage of a long pile roller is that if they paint the ceiling with a thick helmet, the surface is more rough. The advantage is that the roller gets more paint and it's faster to paint. Especially if the area is large, and the paint dries quickly.

The short pile roller has a small own thread and creates a thinner layer of paint. It absorbs a smaller amount of paint, which is economical enough. This allows you to use it for decorative surface finish, paint wallpaper and smooth plaster. It can be used with glossy paint, which is very capricious.
It's hardest to paint the ceiling, so choosing the right roller for painting the ceiling is extremely important. A tool with neither a long pile nor a short tool is suitable here. It is better to stay on average. And, accordingly, pay attention to the manufacturer.
