Roller or spalter for applying finishing products?

The choice between a roller and a spalter for applying finishing products depends not only on the characteristics of the surfaces to be treated, but also on the habits and preferences of each craftsman. Here is an overview of the advantages of each method:

Roller

• Ideal for large surfaces: Perfect for applying products quickly and evenly over large flat areas such as parquet flooring.
• Efficiency: Allows for quick application, which is particularly useful during intensive work.
• Recommended for various products: Suitable for floor sealers, varnishes, oils and paints.
• Uniform finish: Offers excellent glide and reduces the risk of a mottled finish.
• Variable width: Available in different widths, up to 500 mm, for considerable time savings.

Spalter brush

• Precision: Ideal for applying varnish, sealants, oils and wood stains, especially on delicate finishes.
• Increased control: Allows for greater precision, especially for borders and details.
• Decorative techniques: Particularly effective for decorative painting techniques and textural effects.
• Adaptable width: Available in different widths to adapt to the size of the surface to be treated.

Recommendations

• For large surfaces: favour the roller for its speed and uniformity.
• For precise finishing and hard-to-reach areas: opt for the spalter.
• For optimal results, combine the two: use the roller for the main surface and the spalter for the edges and finishing touches.
