Okarno, previously known as Artex, has unveiled Dalapro Roll Nova, a ready-mixed roller filler that provides contractors with a fast and easy way of creating a perfect plastered finish.

Dalapro is a highly effective filler that can be easily rolled onto plaster or concrete walls and finished with a spatula or trowel.

Merchants and decorator centres wanting to pick up additional sales from customers seeking an effective roller filler can order Dalapro from Okarno in full or mixed pallet quantities.

The Dalapro Roll Nova comes in a handy, pre-mixed 12-litre resealable tub that covers up to 12m² at 1mm thickness.

Being roller applied means that is it 30 – 40 per cent quicker to apply than traditional plastering and filling.

To make it even easier, there is a Dalapro calculation tool that lets customers know how much they need. This can be accessed at: www.dalapro.com/dalapro-calculation-tool

Dalapro can be used for multiple tasks on site, including applied plaster to level the surface of existing walls and ceilings as well as concealing cracks and other imperfections. It can also be used to cover textured backgrounds without having to remove it.

Painters and decorators looking to discover more about the benefits of Dalapro can experience the product first hand at the Okarno stand at various Trade shows this year, including UK Construction Week and The National Painting & Decorating Show at Coventry Arena on 19th-20th November 2024.

Using Dalapro is better for the environment because it reduces the chances of mixing errors that may lead to material wastage. The easy rolling application results in a more accurate coverage which can reduce spillage or overuse - you only use what you need with Dalapro.

Dalapro, which is made by a Saint Gobain company, also uses climate-neutral production as well as recycled packaging materials.

The product has a maximum shelf life of 12 months which is indicated by the date marked on the packaging. Once opened, the tub can be resealed.

Martin Spalenice, Head of Trade Sales at Okarno, said “We have a growing number of merchants who have added Dalapro to their portfolio. Those that do find it quickly becomes a firm favourite with customers looking for a ready-mixed roller filler – it really is a product that is highly valued by contractors once they have tried it.”

Martin added: “Dalapro Roll Nova allows contractor to get the job done quicker and, in many cases, being able to easily skim the wall or ceiling saves a huge amount of time on site. We’ve made it possible to order full or mixed pallet deliveries of Dalapro making this a quick win for merchants looking for additional sales.”
