This is a 230 mm (9 inch) paint roller frame designed to carry 230 mm roller covers and to accept sleeves up to 43 mm in diameter, intended for rapid application of emulsion, primer and masonry coatings to walls and ceilings. The product is Draper Tools Group D model DR26236 and provides the basic frame and handle assembly used by decorators and DIYers to apply uniform paint films over large areas quickly and efficiently.

The frame is formed from high‑tensile spring steel wire with a corrosion‑resistant epoxy/polyester powder coat finish to resist paint and surface rust. The head is a cranked three‑wire cage that gives firm support to the roller sleeve and maintains even pressure across the cover. The handle is moulded polypropylene for a secure grip and incorporates a screw‑threaded ferrule compatible with standard M8 threaded extension poles, making it suitable for use with extension poles and reach systems widely used in the UK trade. The item is manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management processes and produced to meet applicable British Standards for hand tool manufacture and safety where relevant.

Typical applications include interior and exterior emulsion painting, ceiling work, decorating large commercial spaces, new build finishes and maintenance painting in schools, offices and rental properties. This frame suits a range of roller piles from a short nap for smooth surfaces to medium nap for slightly textured walls and render. Trades and sectors that commonly use this product include professional decorators, building contractors, facilities maintenance teams and home improvers.

Key benefits include the corrosion resistance of the powder coat finish, the strength and spring resilience of the steel wire frame that holds roller covers securely and reduces flex, and compatibility with industry standard 230 mm roller covers and M8 extension poles for extended reach. The simple screw ferrule connection also allows quick change of poles and accessories without special adaptors, and the polymer handle is easy to clean after use.
