Although the main frame of the tool benefits from Ladbrook's long experience with press tools technology, their engineers applied the latest 'Solid Works' 3D development software to create the attachment mechanism for the handle.
"An important key to the product's success is that it can fit easily to wide range of extension poles used by decorators," said Mike. "This was achieved by developing a small, strong, yet light-weight casting that has a dual purpose fitting, i.e it can fit both screw and taper fit poles. From an engineering perspective, this was quite a challenge and from our perspective, it's a work of art."

To create the perfect paint roller frame took time. From start to finish, the project took 8 months to complete. This included several field trials and several minor redesigns. Initial sales of the product and customer feedback indicate that Ladbrook's efforts have been worthwhile and this tool may prove to be a major contribution to the daily lives of decorators across the world.
"We are very pleased with the outcome of this project," said Amanda Harris of Hamilton Acorn. "We take the professional decorating market very seriously and we understand the needs of our customers. We aim to provide only the best quality products that can enhance the efficiency of the decorators and can satisfy their needs.
Decorators will be using this frame everyday, so we are very pleased to be able to provide something that is so well designed and so effective. Ladbrook have done a great job working with us and understanding our market, we have been delighted with their approach to this project."
