Pattern roller
Pattern roller n or structure roller n are rollers with which patterns are created on walls during painting work . The painter usually calls the roller for applying paint the pattern roller and the roller for embossing the textured roller. Nowadays the terms are mixed up, as any type of roller - depending on the manufacturing principle - can be used for both technologies. The pattern roller works on the principle of a roller stamp .
functionality
As with a paint roller, the pattern is evenly applied to the painted wall by rolling the pattern roller. The profile of the roller leaves the desired pattern on the substrate. Unlike conventional paint rollers, sample rollers are mostly made of rubber or PVC.
history
Roller patterns were widespread in Germany and Austria especially from the 1920s and after World War II ; the painting technique lost its importance by the 1970s and was largely supplanted by the rapidly increasing availability of inexpensive motif wallpapers .
