Titan Airless Spray Roller

Spray Rollers

This type of roller is much faster than an internally-fed roller, because the work of spreading the paint is done by the spray head, which is directed onto the surface just in front of the roller cover that finishes the job of working in the paint, or providing the roller stipple finish.  Because the roller finishes the job, you can spray with a low pressure, even when tram lines or fingers appear in the spray fan, so reducing the overspray.

A spray roller can be used to either roll, or spray, or both without stopping: since the spray head is directed in front of the roller, lifting it off the surface will allow the spray to pass underneath and spray without rolling. This is invaluable for painting surfaces that cannot be rolled, such as inside corners and pipework, so you don’t have to take out a brush to paint them.

A spray roller is also the ideal tool for applying blockfiller, using a large spray tip, say 31 thou’. (Blockfiller is a generic American product for painting blockwalls quickly and is now available in the UK). To spray the full width of a 9" wide cover when the spray tip is about 15 cms from the surface, you need a wide spray fan, using for example a 723 spray tip.

Spray rollers are available for 9" and 18" non-perforated covers (the latter having twin spray heads). The roller frame takes the American 1.5" ID covers, but some models can be adapted to take the British 1.75" ID covers by bending the wires outwards.
