Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I use this seam roller on?
This roller works safely on vinyl flooring, upholstery fabric, adhesive-backed materials, wallpaper, and most soft surfaces. The smooth roller surface won't scratch or damage delicate materials like metal rollers might.
How does this compare to larger seam rollers?
While larger rollers cover more area quickly, this 38mm hand roller excels in tight spaces, detailed work, and areas where precision matters more than speed. It's the perfect complement to full-size tools for finishing work.
Can I use this for both horizontal and vertical surfaces?
Yes, the ergonomic handle design and compact size make it comfortable to use on any surface orientation. Whether you're working on floors, walls, or angled surfaces, the grip stays secure and comfortable.
What's the difference between this and rubber hand rollers?
