ProDec is the UK’s biggest and most widely distributed brand of trade decorating accessories, so whether you’re a seasoned pro, enthusiastic DIYer or even a beginner, we’ve got everything you need for a great finish – just add paint

KEY FEATURES – Using the right tools for the job will not only give you the best results, but also save time and effort, so here are the main reasons to choose this trade quality frame.

Rugged plastic handle

ProDec frames feature a trade quality handle designed for cage rollers, rather than the less robust, less durable mini roller handle which DIY frames can have.

Robust 5-wire cage

Holds the roller securely in place so it won’t slip and slide about, giving even paint application and a trade quality finish with a good roller sleeve.

8mm trade diameter bar

Unlike DIY frames which have a 6mm bar, trade frames have an 8mm diameter bar for durability, enabling them to withstand heavy duty use, maximising paint application and reducing the effort needed to achieve good coverage.

Push fitting for poles

Compatible with most push fit extension poles – including all ProDec poles – for fast, efficient coverage of larger areas.

Ideal for painting walls and ceilings, this robust, trade quality 9″ x 1.75″ cage roller frame features an 8mm diameter main bar for durability to withstand heavy duty use, maximising paint application and reducing the effort needed to achieve good coverage. A robust 5-wire cage holds the roller securely in place so it won’t slip and slide about, giving even paint application and a trade quality finish with a good roller sleeve. The rugged plastic handle features an ergonomic shape for a comfortable grip and a push fitting compatible with most extension poles.

Ensure you have the correct diameter roller to fit this frame: trade rollers have a 1.75″ (44mm) core whereas DIY rollers have a 1.5″ (38mm) core (many ProDec rollers are also available in a 1.5″ core).

GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR PAINT ROLLER – Here are some useful tips that professional decorators use that will save you time and ensure you get the very best result for your hard work.

Before the first use

Unless it is marketed as being lint-free, before its first use wash the roller in cold or tepid water to remove any loose fibres that would otherwise transfer onto the surface when painting: you’ll save yourself time not having to pick out bits from the paint film. Remove excess water, stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using.

The first paint load

Allow the first paint load to soak down to the core by leaving it for 5-10 minutes. This will enable the roller to more quickly reach its paint holding capacity and maximise the amount you apply with each load, improving your painting efficiency.

Load the roller evenly

Load the roller with paint and use the roll-off area on your tray or scuttle to distribute paint evenly across and around the roller. This will give even application on the surface and save you time by not having to work out paint that would otherwise be dumped on.

Cleaning after use

Remove as much paint from the roller as you can so as little as possible is wasted or goes into drainage systems. Inexpensive tools specially designed for this are available, or you can use a paint scraper or similar tool. Wash emulsion paints and water-based gloss, satin and woodstains with warm (not hot) water, with a small amount of detergent if it helps. Wash solvent-based paints with white spirit – do not wash white spirit down sinks; use a container and appropriate gloves and dispose of the solvent carefully. Stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using again.

PILE DEPTH GUIDE – Selecting the right pile of roller for emulsion or masonry paint is critical to ensuring good coverage and a high quality finish. Use this guide to help you make the right choice.

Short pile

Suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings. Because the pile is shorter it puts down less paint and gives you the smoothest of finishes. It’s good if you’re painting a similar colour over the previous one, but if the colour change is more significant you should consider choosing a medium pile as it will put down more paint and cover better. Short pile rollers can also be used with gloss and satin paints on smooth planed wood and metal.

Medium pile

The most popular pile used with emulsion paints and suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings (including light to medium textured plasters such as artex). It is suitable for emulsion colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Depending on the fabric type, it can also be used on semi-smooth masonry surfaces such as brick.

Long pile

Suitable for semi-rough and rough surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement and render, where the longer pile is effective at getting into the surface texture, as well as interior walls and ceilings (including medium to heavily textured plasters such as artex). As it lays down plenty of paint it is suitable for colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Can be used on smooth surfaces but won’t give as good a finish as shorter pile rollers.

Extra long pile

Suitable for rough and very rough masonry surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement, heavily textured renders, stucco (exterior cement plaster) and pebbledash. It gives maximum paint loading – essential for efficiency when painting masonry so you’re reloading less often – and is effective at getting into surface textures for rapid application without missing areas.

8mm diameter trade quality main bar for strength and durability
