Pro Tip of the Month: How to Easily De-lint Roller Covers

Have you ever taken a moment to admire your coating job only to find specks of roller lint embedded in the finish or excess roller marks from the edges of the roller?

Some roller end caps do not create a tight seal, allowing product to get inside the core when dipping them in a roller tray (dip and roll method).  This is not always a problem unless it begins leaking out and creating an uneven finish.

Click below to watch this brief video to learn a quick and easy way to tape your roller end caps and de-lint your roller covers quickly and easily prior to dipping them in finish. 

Luxury Vinyl Flooring:

How to Protect Your Investment

Luxury Vinyl Tile and Plank (LVT and LVP) flooring has been popular for several years as a smart flooring option both in new construction and in existing buildings, but to get the best performance throughout its entire lifespan, it needs to be sealed with a high-quality sealer that resists physical and chemical abuse.  

With proper installation and care, luxury vinyl is an economical, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly option for schools, medical facilities, hotels, homes, and commercial settings. However, whether it comes with a factory finish or not, it will eventually need protection from physical and chemical damage.

"It is crucial to remember that although luxury vinyl flooring is often touted as 'no wax' or 'no maintenance', the floors WILL need to be sealed or resealed at some point."
