A drywall compound roller, sometimes referred to as a mud roller, is a tool that is used to smooth out uneven or damaged walls.
Comprising a roller head and a handle frame, a compound roller is designed to have a textured nap that allows you to apply drywall mud evenly across walls.
Efficient Application
One of the main advantages of using a mud roller is efficiency as it allows you to quickly and effectively apply a large amount of compound to surfaces. The LEVEL5 joint compound roller covers have a 1/2 inch thick reticulated composite nap that has been designed to hold up to 50% more compound, allowing you to cover larger areas with each application, and minimize the amount of sanding required between applications.
Durable
The LEVEL5 mud roller is designed to be used repeatedly without losing effectiveness unlike conventional brushes or trowels, which can wear out or become clogged with dried compound. Made with high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials, these rollers can be used repeatedly for numerous projects. The sturdy steel 1/4" shank is designed to resist bending and is nickel plated for corrosion resistance. The solvent-resistant composite handle is meant for repeated use with a comfortable grip.
Easy Clean
After use, cleaning a compound roller is also very easy. Simply take the roller cover off of the frame and give it a warm, soapy wash. The reticulated composite nap is made to easily release any dried compound. Allow the cover to completely dry after cleaning before reusing.
Additional Built-In Features
The LEVEL5 drywall compound roller handle is designed to be used with a skimming blade handle, offering additional reach and even more functionality to this handy tool. Simply snap the roller handle into the skimming blade handle and you are ready to reach high walls and ceilings without stilts or creating any additional strain on your shoulders and neck.
Drywall compound rollers are not only effective, durable, and easy to clean, but they offer versatility for tasks such as texturing, and skim coating. The LEVEL5 drywall compound roller is available in 9” and 12” sizes, and created with a higher nap to hold more compound than competing brands. The ergonomic grip, composite handle, sturdy steel shank are designed to offer the finisher long lasting wear, all day comfort, and ease of cleaning.
