GLOSSARY TERM
Backrolling
A technique where a roller is used immediately after spray application to ensure even coverage and penetration.
INFO
What it is
Backrolling is the technique of rolling over a surface with a paint roller immediately after it has been sprayed. The spray applies the paint quickly and the roller works it in evenly.
Why it matters
On porous or textured surfaces, spraying alone can leave paint sitting on the surface or missing small voids. Backrolling pushes the coating into the texture, improving adhesion, penetration, and uniformity.
Where it is used on a project
Common on masonry, render, block walls, and other rough surfaces where a sound, even coat matters. It combines the speed of spraying with the working action of a roller.
How NECC approaches it
Where a surface calls for it, we combine spray application with backrolling to ensure the coating keys in fully and the finish is even, getting the best from both methods.
