In a nutshell This polyester fabric is all about great value. It has a much higher density than DIY rollers so it holds more paint and gives an entry level trade finish. Extra long pile is a great choice for emulsion and masonry paints on rough surfaces. Useful to know Not for smooth surfaces as the long pile will give too much texture in the paint film - choose medium pile instead.For heavily textured masonry surfaces choose a ProDec roller with more durable woven fabric instead such as tiger, heavy duty or polyamide.For more product information see the bottom section. What to use and where PAINTS: Emulsion, Smooth and Textured masonry paints SURFACES: Textured plaster, Brick, Breeze block, Render FRAME: Requires a 12" double arm roller frame and extension pole PILE DEPTH GUIDE - Selecting the right pile of roller for emulsion or masonry paint is critical to ensuring good coverage and a high quality finish. Use this guide to help you make the right choice. Short pile Suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings. Because the pile is shorter it puts down less paint and gives you the smoothest of finishes. It's good if you're painting a similar colour over the previous one, but if the colour change is more significant you should consider choosing a medium pile as it will put down more paint and cover better. Short pile rollers can also be used with gloss and satin paints on smooth planed wood and metal. Medium pile The most popular pile used with emulsion paints and suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings (including light to medium textured plasters such as artex). It is suitable for emulsion colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Depending on the fabric type, it can also be used on semi-smooth masonry surfaces such as brick. Long pile Suitable for semi-rough and rough surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement and render, where the longer pile is effective at getting into the surface texture, as well as interior walls and ceilings (including medium to heavily textured plasters such as artex). As it lays down plenty of paint it is suitable for colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Can be used on smooth surfaces but won't give as good a finish as shorter pile rollers. Extra long pile Suitable for rough and very rough masonry surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement, heavily textured renders, stucco (exterior cement plaster) and pebbledash. It gives maximum paint loading - essential for efficiency when painting masonry so you're reloading less often - and is effective at getting into surface textures for rapid application without missing areas. GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR PAINT ROLLER - Here are some useful tips that professional decorators use that will save you time and ensure you get the very best result for your hard work. Before the first use Unless it is marketed as being lint-free, before its first use wash the roller in cold or tepid water to remove any loose fibres that would otherwise transfer onto the surface when painting: you'll save yourself time not having to pick out bits from the paint film. Remove excess water, stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using. The first paint load Allow the first paint load to soak down to the core by leaving it for 5-10 minutes. This will enable the roller to more quickly reach its paint holding capacity and maximise the amount you apply with each load, improving your painting efficiency. Load the roller evenly Load the roller with paint and use the roll-off area on your tray or scuttle to distribute paint evenly across and around the roller. This will give even application on the surface and save you time by not having to work out paint that would otherwise be dumped on. Cleaning after use Remove as much paint from the roller as you can so as little as possible is wasted or goes into drainage systems. Inexpensive tools specially designed for this are available, or you can use a paint scraper or similar tool. Wash emulsion paints and water-based gloss, satin and woodstains with warm (not hot) water, with a small amount of detergent if it helps. Wash solvent-based paints with white spirit - do not wash white spirit down sinks; use a container and appropriate gloves and dispose of the solvent carefully. Stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using again. Get a trade quality finish at great value Made from trade quality high density knitted polyester (low density polyester is used for DIY quality rollers), this paint roller is a good economy choice, offering excellent value for money and giving entry level trade performance and finish. It picks up plenty of paint, with smooth, even application for efficiency and good coverage to minimise the number of coats required. The 25mm (1") extra long pile is suitable for masonry paints on rough and very rough surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement, heavily textured renders, stucco (exterior cement plaster) and pebbledash, where the longer pile is effective at getting into the surface texture. This roller is 12” (300mm) width, which is ideal for rapid coverage of broad wall areas and ceilings when used in conjunction with an extension pole. It has a 1.75" (44mm) trade diameter core, so ensure you have a compatible double arm roller frame. For best results the roller should be washed in cold or tepid water before first use to remove any loose fibres. Stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using. For very heavily textured masonry surfaces, consider using a longer pile woven roller such as ProDec's Long Pile or Heavy Duty rollers which are more durable.
