January 08, 2024

Spiked rollers are tools commonly used in industries such as construction, renovation and flooring installation to improve the bonding of coatings and materials. However, despite its many advantages, there are also some disadvantages to be aware of.

Here are some possible disadvantages of spike rollers:
1. Scratch the surface: The sharp needle rollers on the Spike Roller may leave scratches or marks on the surface, especially on certain sensitive materials such as wood, soft flooring materials or special coatings. Therefore, before using a spike roller, it needs to be tested in an inconspicuous area to ensure that it will not cause irreversible damage to the surface.

2. Difficult to control the pressure: The working pressure of the spike roller is usually exerted by the user, which may lead to some situations that are difficult to control. Spike rollers can damage the surface or cause excessive compression of the material if too much pressure is applied. Conversely, if insufficient pressure is applied, the expected coating uniformity or bonding performance may not be achieved.
