Choosing the Right
Turbo Roller
At iQuip, we’ve developed two exceptional options for professionals: the Turbo Roller USA Polyester Knit Fabric and the Turbo Roller USA Dacron Woven Fabric. Each offers unique advantages tailored to different needs.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand the key differences and benefits of each fabric so you can choose the best tool for your next project.
Turbo Roller USA Polyester Knit Fabric
The Turbo Roller USA Polyester Knit Fabric is a proprietary product crafted from inter-looped yarns, offering exceptional flexibility. This knitted fabric is renowned for its high paint capacity, allowing you to cover larger areas quickly and efficiently. Coupled with the Turbo Roller’s advanced design, this fabric holds a substantial amount of paint, making it ideal for fast applications.
High Capacity
The knit fabric holds and releases more paint, enabling you to cover expansive surfaces with fewer trips to the paint tray.
Fast Coverage
Thanks to its flexibility and paint-holding capacity, it delivers rapid application and efficiency.
Stipple Effect
While it covers quickly, it leaves a slight but even textured surface, making it suitable for most paints and coatings, including solvents.
The Turbo Roller USA Polyester Knit Fabric may experience some fabric loss, which can slightly impact the finish. However, it remains a popular choice for those prioritizing speed and paint capacity.
Turbo Roller USA Dacron Woven Fabric
The Turbo Roller USA Dacron fabric features a proprietary woven design, interlaced from multiple yarns to ensure a smooth, lint-free finish. This fabric excels in providing a superior, low stipple finish with minimal fabric shedding, making it ideal for achieving a professional-grade result.
Smooth Finish
The woven construction delivers an exceptionally smooth, lint-free surface with minimal stipple.
Fast Coverage
Designed for durability, the Dacron fabric resists shedding, maintaining a clean application throughout the job.
Thanks to its flexibility and paint-holding capacity, it delivers rapid application and efficiency.
High Capacity
Combining a smooth finish with high paint capacity, it enables professionals to achieve the recommended coating thickness with ease.
While the Dacron fabric provides a refined finish, its paint-holding capacity is slightly lower than the polyester knit, making it better suited for projects where finish quality is paramount.
Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance
Both the Turbo Roller USA Polyester and the Turbo Roller USA Dacron fabrics are proprietary and designed for ease of cleaning. Their synthetic nature ensures that both types are straightforward to clean, maintaining their performance over time. Additionally, utilizing the Turbo Roller's resealable bag helps streamline the cleaning process, reducing the frequency of washes and saving time, paint, and water. This practical feature ensures your tools remain in top condition and ready for the next job.
Making the Right Choice
Choosing between the Turbo Roller USA Polyester Knit Fabric and the Turbo Roller USA Dacron Woven Fabric largely depends on your specific project needs. If you are after a good finish, high-film build, and efficient application, the polyester knit is an excellent choice. For a smooth, professional finish with minimal stipple, without sacrificing on film build, the Dacron woven fabric is the way to go.
Why You Should Avoid Microfibre Paint Rollers: Discover the
Superior Alternative
When selecting the ideal roller sleeve for your painting project, the choice between an iQuip Turbo Dacron USA Roller and a microfibre roller can significantly impact the final result. Here’s a comprehensive comparison to illustrate why the iQuip Turbo Dacron USA Roller is the superior choice for achieving professional-quality results.
01
Superior Finish with the Turbo Dacron USA Roller
Woven Fabric for a Smooth, Lint-Free Finish
The iQuip Turbo Dacron USA Roller features a proprietary woven Dacron fabric, renowned for its ability to deliver a smooth, lint-free finish. Unlike other fabrics, Dacron’s woven structure prevents shedding, ensuring a clean, consistent application without the hassle of lint or fabric debris. This results in a pristine finish that meets professional standards.
Even Coating Application
The woven design of the Dacron fabric excels in providing an even coating application. By reducing peaks and troughs in the paint layer, the Dacron roller ensures a uniform, high-quality finish, essential for a flawless look.
02
The Challenges with Microfibre Rollers
Coverage Issues
Microfibre rollers are appreciated for their paint-holding capacity, but they present challenges in application. One significant issue is that microfibre rollers can struggle to apply paint evenly at the required wet film thickness (WFT). During backrolling or 'laying-off,' microfibre fabrics often re-absorb the coating from the substrate, transferring it back onto the roller. This reabsorption can leave insufficient paint on the wall, impacting the final finish.
Problems with Insufficient Coating
When a roller fails to deliver the specified WFT, several issues can arise:
Poor Opacity and Coverage
Insufficient coating thickness can lead to poor opacity, necessitating additional coats to achieve the desired coverage. This not only increases labor but can also lead to higher material costs.
Increased Risk of Issues
Thin layers of paint are prone to problems such as uneven drying, reduced durability, and compromised protection. These issues can cause visible inconsistencies and affect the long-term performance of the coating.
03
High Capacity and Efficiency with the Turbo Dacron USA Roller
Enhanced Paint Capacity
The iQuip Turbo Dacron USA Roller offers superior paint capacity compared to microfibre rollers. Its design allows for a higher volume of paint to be held and released consistently, which means fewer trips to the paint tray and quicker coverage. This efficiency is particularly valuable since labor is a major cost in professional painting jobs.
26% More Fabric Surface Area
Provides more paint per dip, reducing the need for frequent reloading and enhancing overall efficiency.
21% Reduced Rotational Velocity
Minimizes spatter and mess, leading to a cleaner work environment and less waste.
Heavy-Duty Solvent Resistant Core
Suitable for both acrylic and solvent-based paints, offering versatility for different coating types.
04
Why the iQuip Turbo Dacron USA Roller is the Better Choice
The iQuip Turbo Dacron USA Roller combines high paint capacity with a smooth, professional finish. Its woven Dacron fabric ensures consistent and even coating, addressing issues related to inadequate film thickness and enhancing the overall quality of the finish.
While microfibre rollers are good at holding paint, they often fall short in delivering a uniform application and can lead to significant problems with coverage and film thickness. In contrast, the Turbo Dacron Roller’s advanced design and superior paint capacity make it a standout choice for achieving high-quality results efficiently.
For painters seeking a roller that excels in providing a flawless finish, exceptional paint capacity, and consistent application, the iQuip Turbo Dacron USA Roller is the clear choice. Its woven Dacron fabric and innovative Turbo Roller design offer numerous advantages over microfibre rollers, making it a smart investment for professional painting projects.
