How to Choose decorative paint rollers for walls?

Woven fabrics, including microfiber and mohair, prevent lint from being left behind while providing an exceptionally smooth finish.

Knit fabrics, like polyester and lambswool, hold more paint and cover larger areas faster while leaving some stipple.

Roller cover nap sizes, or thickness of the fibers, varies from low to high based on the surface you are painting. Low-nap rollers pick up less paint, while high-nap rollers pick up and hold more for larger projects.

Surface texture and general environmental factors, including temperature and humidity, should also factor into your roller cover selection. For uniform interior surfaces like drywall, cabinets and metal, use roller covers with smaller nap sizes, like our ¼-inch nap WhiteDove', to ensure a smooth finish. Walls, ceilings and paneling require a slightly larger nap size of 3/8-inch; for lightly textured walls, decks and concrete, use a ½-inch nap; and for textured ceilings, stucco and masonry, use ¾-inch.

For outdoor jobs, or when painting rough interior surfaces such as cinder block, rough wood and brick, look for roller covers with a higher nap, like our 1-inch GoldenEagle' for greater paint pickup that reaches every nook and cranny, as well as faster application and increased productivity.

Paint roller frames consist primarily of a comfortable handle and a rotating cage roller over which fits the cover. They are available in multiple sizes than can range from as small as two inches to as wide as 18.

• Standard wall rollers are 7 to 12 inches wide, with 9-inch rollers being suitable for most home projects.
• Smaller rollers of 6 to 7 inches are suitable for small furnishings or baseboard moulding.
• Mini rollers and mini roller covers of less than 5 inches can be the best paint rollers for small surfaces and narrow areas such as edges, corners, trim and frames, as well as hard-to-reach places such as inside bookcases and cabinets.

Paint roller frame extensions are helpful accessories when painting ceilings and high areas of walls.

The thickness of roller covers is called the nap or pile. A rule of thumb to follow is that the rougher the painting surface, the thicker the nap you should use. Roller covers are typically available in thicknesses of 3/16 to 1/4-inch, 3/8 to 1/2-inch, 3/4 to 1-inch and 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch, each designed for a different purpose.

3/16 to 1/4-inch thickness is perfect for smooth surface roller covers for painting metal doors, interior doors, trim and cabinets. They work well with semi-gloss or gloss coatings and both oil- and water-base enamels.

3/8 to 1/2-inch thickness is preferable for semi-smooth surfaces such as drywall. It can be used on painted or unpainted walls and ceilings.

3/4 to 1-inch thickness is suitable for stucco and other semi-rough surfaces.

1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch is ideal for rough surface roller covers for painting brick and masonry, cinder blocks or chain link fences.
