#AD – HOW A ROLLER CAN AFFECT PRODUCTIVITY
– Advertorial –
Using the right roller system can maximise productivity and make a big difference to a project’s final finish. Here, Andy Cummins, Senior Product Manager at Purdy explains how to choose the right roller products and what sets the Purdy roller system apart from other brands.
When taking on bigger painting jobs, choosing a roller system that has been designed with professionals in mind can help to maximise productivity.
The frame
Opting for a frame that is lightweight and has an ergonomic rubberised grip, like the Purdy Revolution Frame, is the key to minimising fatigue and preventing your hands from slipping, helping you to work harder for longer. Ribbed frame ends are another feature to look out for as these can help to avoid annoying sleeve ‘walk-off’.
To simplify the process of switching between different sleeve sizes, products like the Purdy Adjustable Frame utilise a cam latch system to make sleeve swaps simple. A quick connect attachment system also allows both the Adjustable Frame and the Revolution Frame to be easily and quickly attached to Purdy extension poles, as well as being compatible with traditional threaded connections.
The sleeve
Poor-quality sleeves can shed lint onto freshly painted surfaces. Purdy rollers consist of a fabric thermally bonded to the roller core using a strong epoxy adhesive to keep the fibres in place. This also boosts roller longevity – the Purdy Marathon sleeve can maintain peak performance for up to 40 hours of continuous use. Plus, tapered ends also prevent paint build-up and unsightly tramlines.
It’s important to also tailor your choice of sleeve to a specific job. Purdy Colossus and Marathon rollers are knitted sleeves which excel in paint pick up and release – especially when combined with a longer nap length. On the other hand, the Purdy White Dove is a woven sleeve, which provides an extra smooth and clean finish if desired.
With 100 years of product development, the Purdy range includes everything you need to tackle a job, big or small and achieve that high-quality finish with maximum efficiency.
