Paint rollers

Paint rollers are designed as an efficient way to decorate a wall or a whole room, enabling the application of an even coat over large areas with ease. They permit easy application of paint to walls and ceilings rapidly and efficiently. Painting rollers are simple to use, so even beginners get great results, and they are available in a range of widths and types to suit most jobs. Look for a long nap or pile for rough surfaces, and short ones for smooth surfaces.

For best results when using emulsion paint, we recommend a medium-pile paint roller with a 3/8 to ½ inch nap length.

A short-pile or foam roller will minimise the appearance of texture on your walls, providing you with a more polished look than alternatives.
