Why Dalapro Roll Nova Filler Is About to Change the Way You Skim Walls

Filling or skimming walls can be one of those time-consuming, messy jobs that puts people off even starting a decorating project. But what if I told you there’s a product that makes it quicker, easier, and less of a workout? That’s exactly why I’m so excited to share our latest addition at DCO: the Dalapro Roll Nova Filler.

If you’ve ever thought, “There must be a faster way to do this,”—you’re absolutely going to love this game-changer.

What Is Dalapro Roll Nova?

Dalapro Roll Nova is a multi-purpose, ready-mixed wall filler that can be applied with a paint roller. Yes, you read that right—a roller! This clever twist on traditional filler makes applying it super simple, seriously fast, and much easier on your arms (and patience).

Designed for interior walls and ceilings, it works brilliantly on surfaces like concrete, plaster, fabric, and even old wallpaper. You can use it for general wall skimming, smoothing out surface imperfections, and it’s also suitable for joint filling on plasterboard.

Why We Love It

Here’s why Dalapro Roll Nova is quickly becoming a favourite with both DIYers and decorators:

  • Ready-Mixed – No measuring, mixing, or mess. Just open the tub and go.
  • Roller Application – So much quicker and easier to apply. Less strain on your body = more energy for the fun stuff!
  • Smooth Consistency – It glides on easily and is a dream to work with.
  • Good Filling Capacity – Perfect for everything from minor imperfections to larger areas.
  • Grey Colour – Makes it easier to see where you’ve applied it.
  • 8 Hour Dry Time – Fast enough to keep your project moving, but gives you time to work at your own pace.
  • Nordic Eco Labelled – A more sustainable choice, which we love!

How to Use Dalapro Roll Nova (It’s So Easy!)

Using this filler is honestly as straightforward as painting a wall:

  1. Prep your surface – As always, clean, dry and dust-free is best. Remove any loose material or flaky paint.

  2. Load your roller – We recommend using the Rota! 7" Nylon Plaster Roller with the 7" Soft Grip Roller Frame—perfectly sized for the job and gives great coverage.

  3. Roll it on – Apply the filler directly to the wall using your roller, just like you would with paint.

  4. Smooth it off – Grab your skimming blade (or a wide trowel) and smooth over the surface while the filler is still wet.

  5. Let it dry – It’ll be fully dry and ready to paint in around 8 hours, depending on temperature and thickness.

That’s it! No faff, no fatigue—just smoother walls, faster.

Where It Works Best

Whether you're tackling a brand new plasterboard install or smoothing over tired old walls as part of a renovation, Dalapro Roll Nova is incredibly versatile. It works well on:

  • Interior concrete and plaster
  • Painted walls or ceilings
  • Fabric or wallpaper-covered walls (check adhesion first!)
  • Plasterboard joints and seams

This is a great product if you’re a bit nervous about using traditional skimming fillers or plasters. The roller application feels much more familiar to most DIYers, and it gives you that little bit of extra confidence and control. It's also a fantastic option for anyone who wants to speed up larger filling or skimming jobs without compromising on finish.
