18" Vantage Roller Cover

An 18 inch roller cover is the working width most floor coating crews settle on. A 9 inch cover is fine for cut-in and small patches, but on an open slab it doubles your passes and doubles the number of wet edges you have to keep alive. This Vantage cover fits standard 18 inch roller frames and is intended for rolling coatings onto concrete rather than for wall paint.

Use it the way floor coatings want to be used. Load the cover fully, lay the material out in a manageable section, and back-roll to even the film before the leading edge starts to set. On flake floors the roller is what puts down a consistent base coat for broadcast, and any roller lap or dry spot shows up in the finished floor once flake and topcoat go over it.

Roller covers are consumables on this kind of work. Epoxy and polyaspartic do not wash out, so plan on a fresh cover per batch or per coat rather than trying to save one overnight in a bag. Buying covers in quantity ahead of a job is cheaper than stopping mid-floor with a shedding cover and a pot of material that is already ticking.

Check what your coating manufacturer specifies for nap before you order for a specific system. Fast-set materials, high-build epoxies and thin sealers each want different amounts of pickup, and the nap that lays down a solid color epoxy is not always the one you want under a flake broadcast. If you are unsure what pairs with the system you are running, call 817-676-6793.
