Roller for Screed Venting GEKO 230×100×28 mm — foam/air-release roller (16 cells)

The GEKO roller for screed venting 230×100×28 mm is a foam air-release roller with a 16-cell surface designed to remove trapped air from fresh cement and anhydrite screeds. Its cellular structure breaks air pockets and helps distribute material evenly across the surface during levelling. The roller is intended to be mounted on a long handle or extension so operators can reach and de-bubble large areas without stepping on the wet screed.

Advantages

The 16-cell foam surface provides consistent air-release performance, reducing the formation of voids and pinholes in the finished screed. Its compact dimensions allow precise control near edges and around obstacles, while the foam construction is resilient enough to maintain contact with uneven surfaces. Designed for ease of use with standard extension poles, the roller supports more uniform adhesion and a smoother base for subsequent floor coverings.

Suitable for

• Degassing and de-bubbling fresh cement screeds
• Working with anhydrite and calcium sulphate screeds
• Leveling large floor areas before finishing
• Preparing screed surfaces for tile, laminate or other floor coverings

Key specifications

• Material: closed-cell foam surface for controlled air-release
• Surface structure: 16 discrete cells for breaking air pockets
• Dimensions: 230 mm length × 100 mm width × 28 mm height
• Compatibility: fits standard long handles or extension poles for floor work
• Application: designed for use on wet cement and anhydrite screeds

How to use

Attach the roller securely to a suitable long handle or extension pole and place the roller on the freshly applied screed surface. Move the roller across the wet screed with steady, overlapping passes to allow the cells to contact the material and release trapped air. Work methodically from one side of the area to the other, avoiding abrupt stops that can trap air under the roller. Clean the roller after use according to the handle and foam care guidelines to preserve its shape and performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the roller shortly after screed placement when the material is still fluid enough for air to escape. For best results, combine roller passes with standard levelling techniques and follow the screed manufacturer's guidelines on curing and surface preparation before installing final floor coverings.
