250mm Spike Rollers for Epoxy & Self-Levelling Floors
Price range: R239.36 through R376.59
ROX® 250mm Spike Rollers are professional flooring tools designed for deaerating freshly applied self-levelling epoxy, urethane and cement-based screeds. Their compact 250mm working width makes them particularly useful when working around edges, corners, confined spaces and other areas where a wider spike roller can be difficult to control.
The ROX® 250mm range is available with 11mm and 31mm spikes. The 11mm version is intended for flooring systems under 4mm thick, while the 31mm version is intended for systems above 4mm and cement-based systems. Always select the spike length according to the flooring manufacturer’s technical data sheet.
With a contractor-quality steel frame, plastic handle, solvent-resistant spikes and securely locked spike construction, ROX® 250mm Spike Rollers provide controlled access to wet flooring materials while helping release trapped air during application.

| Code | Description | Size | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30/3/010 | SPIKE ROLLER (EPOXY SYSTEMS) | 11 mm | 250 mm |

A 250mm spike roller is a professional flooring application tool used to help release trapped air from freshly applied self-levelling flooring materials. The roller uses rows of spikes that penetrate the wet material as the tool is moved across the surface, helping release air bubbles and encourage a more consistent finish.
The key advantage of a 250mm spike roller is its compact working width. Compared with wider rollers, the smaller 250mm format is easier to manoeuvre around edges, corners and confined areas while maintaining control over the wet flooring material.

What is a 250mm spike roller used for?
A 250mm spike roller is used to help release trapped air from freshly applied self-levelling epoxy, urethane and cement-based flooring systems. Its compact width also makes it useful around edges, corners and confined spaces.
Why choose a 250mm spike roller instead of a wider roller?
The 250mm width provides greater manoeuvrability in edges, corners, confined spaces and tight areas. Wider 400mm and 500mm rollers can provide greater coverage across open floor areas.
What is the difference between the 11mm and 31mm ROX® spike rollers?
The 11mm version is intended for systems under 4mm thick, while the 31mm version is intended for systems above 4mm and cement-based systems. Always follow the flooring manufacturer's technical data sheet.
Can I use a 250mm spike roller on epoxy?
Yes. The 11mm ROX® 250mm Spike Roller is specified for epoxy systems under 4mm thick. The appropriate spike length should always be confirmed against the flooring manufacturer's instructions.
Can I use a 250mm spike roller on cement screed?
Yes. The 31mm ROX® 250mm Spike Roller is specified for cement-based systems and self-levelling cement screeds.
Do I need spike shoes when using a 250mm spike roller?
If you need to walk across wet flooring material to spike roll the entire floor, spike shoes allow you to access the wet screed while minimising disruption to the application. Follow the flooring system manufacturer's instructions for the correct application method.
Is a 250mm spike roller suitable for large floors?
It can be used on larger floors, but its main advantage is manoeuvrability. A 400mm or 500mm roller can provide greater working coverage across open areas, while the 250mm roller is particularly useful for edges, corners and restricted areas.
How long should I wait before spike rolling?
Wait at least 10 minutes after raking before spike rolling. However, the correct timing depends on the flooring system, so always follow the manufacturer's technical data sheet.
We offer several spike roller widths so contractors can choose a tool appropriate to the size and layout of the floor being installed.
| Roller Width | Main Advantage | Best Suited To |
|---|---|---|
| 250mm | Maximum manoeuvrability | Edges, corners, confined and tight areas |
| 400mm | Balanced coverage and control | General professional flooring applications |
| 500mm | Wider working coverage | Larger open floor areas |
Many contractors may benefit from having more than one roller width available. A wider roller can improve productivity across open areas, while a 250mm roller can provide better access and control around edges, corners and restricted sections of the floor.
