Types of Roller Covers

Roller covers come in two main types:

• Natural roller covers, made from mohair or lambswool, are perfect for oil-based paint.
• Synthetic roller covers, made from nylon, polyester, or a combination, are ideal for water-based paint.

For latex paint, always opt for synthetic materials. For oil-based or alkyd paints, either synthetic or natural materials can be used. It's wise to follow the manufacturer's recommendations when choosing paint rollers.

Understanding Roller Nap

Nap, or pile, refers to the length of the roller’s painting surface. It ranges from 1/16 inch to 1-1/2 inches. Use a short-napped roller for smooth surfaces and a longer nap for rough surfaces like masonry. Textured rollers are also available for special finishes.

Roller Sizes and Frames

Rollers vary in width from 4 to 18 inches. Roller frames are either birdcage or metal. Birdcage frames are easier to clean and preferable for fast-drying paints. Most handles can be attached to an extension pole for added reach.

Specialty Rollers

Trim rollers come in various shapes and sizes for specific tasks. Cone-shaped rollers are great for inside corners, while doughnut-style rollers are ideal for moldings and detailed work. Mini paint rollers are perfect for woodwork, small areas, or tight spaces. Textured paint rollers can add a unique aesthetic to walls, hiding imperfections effectively. For a more intricate finish, consider faux finish rollers.

Tips for Selecting Rollers

• Choose rollers with beveled edges for a smoother finish.
• Ensure the roller has no visible seams.
• Squeeze the roller to see if it rebounds to its original shape.

Roller Usage Tips

• Moisten the roller with water or thinner to prevent paint from drying on it.
• Load paint from the slanted edge of the tray to avoid overloading.
• Paint in a "W" shape to evenly distribute the paint.
• Avoid painting too quickly for a smoother finish.
• Clean rollers by rolling them on newspaper and using the appropriate thinner. Allow them to dry before storage.
• Consider disposable rollers if you won't be repainting soon, especially with oil-based paints.
