Paint Roller Origin

Paint rollers have a fascinating backstory with a man named David Welt was sent on a basic errand to go and retrieve business cards for his father’s painting service way back in 1938. It was within the confines of that shop that he saw the metal printing press rolling ink on the cards and had the ingenious idea that if a machine can do it then his father should be able to roll paint in the same way in order to facilitate a smoother and quicker job for his customers.

It was back at their home that a makeshift conglomeration of a bent piece of steel, wooden dowel, and carpet was combined in order to create the first paint roller of its kind.

This early variation was best used for covering up brush strokes which often plagued paint jobs by the handymen who used brushes to cover the area. This “stippling” led to the American Roller Stippler Company. This company eventually fizzled out, but modern technology has now created a whole new market for power paint rollers such that the paint is dispensed through the depression of a trigger on the handle such that there is no longer the necessity to return to the paint tray in order to receive a refill.

This article will look at the best power rollers on the market today in 2017 in order to provide consumers with the necessary information to make the best investment in this very useful piece of equipment.
