Choosing a roller sleeve
The pile, or fabric length, affects how much paint a roller holds and how the surface looks. Short pile sleeves give a smooth finish on flat, even surfaces such as prepared walls and ceilings. Medium pile works well for most interior walls. Long pile sleeves are better for rough or textured surfaces like masonry, as they reach into the surface.
Roller sizes and frames
Standard 9-inch rollers suit most rooms and are easy to handle. Smaller mini rollers are useful for doors, radiators and awkward spaces. A sturdy frame with a comfortable handle helps you work for longer without tiring, and many fit an extension pole for ceilings and high walls.
Trays and liners
A paint tray with a ramp lets you load and remove excess paint evenly. Disposable liners make clean-up simple, which is handy when you’re switching colours.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a smooth finish with a roller?
Load the roller evenly, don’t press too hard, and finish each section with light, even strokes in one direction.
Can I reuse roller sleeves?
Yes. Wash water-based paint out thoroughly and let them dry. Sleeves used with other paints should be cleaned as directed by the paint manufacturer.
Do I still need a brush?
Usually, yes. Use a brush to cut in at edges and corners, then roller the main areas.
