    The Inner-Feed Roller is perfect for rolling the exteriors. This paint roller saves time and achieves a smooth and even coverage. By pressing the trigger, the roller automatically fills with paint. Now you can paint without interruptions. It is also important to wear protective goggles when working with the Inner-Feed Roller, e.g. if you are working at head height or even overhead.

The roller can be replaced without any problems: By pressing the retaining clip, you can easily replace the paint roller.

    Paint, spray or brush the house: Advantages and disadvantages

    Paint rollers are inexpensive and lightweight. The handling is simple and already known to many. If you also use a paint sprayer, you combine the advantages of both worlds. With a paint sprayer you can work up to three times faster than applying paint with a roller. This reduces the effort considerably, especially when painting large areas.

    After spraying paint the house exterior, re-rolling with the paint roller is necessary to achieve coverage down to every pore of the rough exterior substrate. Again, using the Inner-Feed Roller or SprayRoller is recommended to save time as you do not have to interrupt your work to reload the paint roller. In addition, you no longer have to carry the paint bucket with you onto the scaffolding, but only place it directly at the sprayer.

    Render is widely used on private house construction. Depending on the weather conditions, a new coat of paint is due after 20 or 30 years as a minimum. With coarse render, it is sometimes difficult to cover the entire surface evenly with paint. The SprayRoller is the perfect companion for rough surfaces with its combination of spraying and rolling.

Or do you want the wood grain to be invisible under the paint? Then opaque paint is the right choice. Airless spraying is the better choice for coating wood . If possible, you should not use a roller here in order to preserve the natural texture of the wood.
