Ceiling spray painting or rolling: what is the difference?

Your ceiling contributes to the overall finish of your home. People sometimes say the best ceiling is one you do not notice, and we agree. A ceiling that draws the eye can distract from the rest of the interior. A smooth, well-finished ceiling creates a sense of calm: it is there without demanding attention.

What can go wrong when painting a ceiling with a roller?

Many of our fellow painters prefer to roll ceilings. And to be fair, painting a ceiling is not especially difficult for a skilled decorator, provided it is done properly. Problems often arise when people tackle their own ceiling without much experience and underestimate the work involved.

People often underestimate what is involved in painting a ceiling. Paint quality, rollers and other materials do not always get enough attention. Unfortunately, we regularly see the result: visible bands and streaks that remain on the ceiling.

A tip from our painter Ronnie: If you paint the ceiling yourself, keep your roller well loaded with paint and do not let it run dry. Do not skimp on paint quality. Choose a reputable brand such as Sigma, Sikkens, Veveo or SPS, and allow yourself plenty of time.

Spray painting your ceiling can save a lot of trouble

Choosing spray painting instead of rolling has several advantages. It is much faster, gives a more even finish and provides full coverage in one application. Spraying also avoids roller marks and lap marks, with an even coat across the whole surface.

When is spray painting better than rolling?

There are several situations where spray painting is preferable to using a roller, particularly in new-build homes and on new plasterwork. For freshly plastered walls and ceilings, we consider spray painting the natural choice. Your plasterer has worked hard to create a smooth surface, and spray painting gives it the smooth finish it deserves.
