Accessories and tools for painting walls



They can greatly facilitate the renovation of rooms, so it is worth getting them. Modern accessories and tools for wall painting were created in response to the needs appearing during the renovation work.

Accessories and tools for painting walls

Hard to reach places, large surfaces or high rooms often cause problems when painting walls. For this reason, it is good to replace the classic brush with more sophisticated painting tools. Many accessories will greatly simplify our work and make renovation work much more efficiently.

Painting walls without a ladder

To apply paint on even walls, it is necessary to reach the ceiling very high. In order not to use the ladder, it is enough to equip yourself with a long boom, on which the roll holder is applied. The most convenient is to use telescopic solutions. By dividing the bar elements and locking them with a ring, we obtain any length. We find equipment that allows painting even walls with a height of 5 m . Extension booms for tall rooms can be 6 m long and the handles placed on their ends are designed for comfortable grip with both hands, which allows you to precisely operate the roller. Thanks to such a solution, it is much easier to paint the walls without moving the ladder and climbing it.

Paint without can and tray

Dosing the paint while painting walls can be cumbersome, it requires careful scooping it on the roller or brush, so that it does not drip and as little as possible dirt around the can or tray. The paint pot must also be moved, worn and sometimes placed on a ladder, controlling that an unstable position will not spill the contents. To solve this problem, paint rollers were created with a paint feeder. The handle has a paint container, which is dispensed successively in an amount sufficient and not allowed to drip. The filling system consists in sucking paint from the container into the rod. The roller is filled with paint thanks to the piston, which is activated by pressing a button in the handle. Single impregnation allows you to paint up to 13 m² of wall. The tool not only allows much more precise and faster painting, but also more economical. For convenience, choose an electric roller, which itself soaks with paint.

Painting hard to reach places

Special tools are intended for many nooks and crannies. For example, we can find precise brushes or a set of triangular accessories to the corners of the walls. In the place where the walls are joined, narrow, round brushes with a long bristle will also be useful, which fit into the gap and distribute the paint evenly while rolling the wheel. Rollers with a paint feeder can also be equipped with a tip enabling the painting of corners, bevels and other corners. For example, a three-position, movable head placed on a telescopic boom will be convenient.

It is also difficult to paint the wall behind a central heating radiator. To reach such hidden places you can use a narrow, long, flat, curved brush. Although it is intended for painting radiators, it is also ideally suited for wall covering behind a radiator.

Rolls for special tasks

The larger the surface of the wall, the chosen roller should be wider. Rollers with short fleece, i. e. those with bristles of 6 to 9 mm , are designed for applying thin layers of paint and painting smooth surfaces, i. e. coated with finishing, finished with plasterboards or made of plywood or metal. A long fleece with a length of 1- 2. 5 cm will facilitate the painting of plastered walls, lined with wood or structural cladding. Under the ceiling and on the floor, rollers for equal cutouts will be useful, i. e. equipped with a limiter facilitating the construction of belts. In order for the paint to not run down it is good to purchase a roller with a drip cap. In order to obtain interesting effects on the walls, even chamois or sponge shades that give a specific pattern or texture are used.

Spray painting

The fastest way to paint the wall using a special hydrodynamic aggregate, which allows covering with 4 m² of paint in just a minute. It gives excellent and uniform coverage. However, this method of painting requires a lot of practice.
