WHICH ROLLER AND BRUSHES SHOULD BE USED WHEN APPLYING INTERIOR PAINT?
Interior paint adds an aesthetic touch to the walls of your home. It is also an important detail that changes the atmosphere of the space. However, painting is not just about using the right color paint. The tools used also play a major role. Using the right rollers and brushes during application improves the quality of the work. It also makes the application easier and more efficient.
Brushes and Their Uses
Brushes are especially necessary for corners, wall edges, and detailed areas. When applying interior paint, brushes between 5 cm and 10 cm are generally preferred. These brushes provide more control when painting with precision. They are used especially in trim work, narrow areas such as window edges and door frames. They are also necessary for smoothing out rough areas on the wall surface.
Rollers and Their Applications
Rollers are used to paint large areas quickly and evenly. Choosing the right roller during application ensures an efficient painting process. Roller selection depends on the texture of the wall and the type of paint. Short-nap rollers (7 mm or 10 mm) should be preferred for smooth surfaces, while longer-nap rollers (15 mm and above) are better for textured surfaces.
If the walls are smooth and a thin coating is desired, fine-nap rollers should be preferred. This ensures a more even distribution of the paint. On the other hand, if the walls have a textured surface, longer-nap rollers should be selected. This helps reach all the gaps in the surface when applying the paint.
Choosing the Right Tools and Application Tips
In addition to brushes and rollers, the right application techniques are also very important. First, paint the corners and edges with a brush, then paint the large areas with a roller. Always start painting from the top. Move horizontally.
