The Ultimate Buyer's Guide for Purchasing decorative paint rollers for walls

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.

The nap length here refers to the length of the wool or fibers on the paint roller. The suitable nap length is ¼ inches to ⅜ inches for surfaces like walls with a smooth texture. This will enable the roller to roll on the wall while leaving little texture behind, such as between the ridges.

Though the rollers can fit any width, the standard rollers are 9” and 18” only. A 9” roller allows one to cut in edges and paint small areas, while an 18” roller enables one to paint large walls quickly.

Since there is always minor dripping and splattering when painting overhead, use a thicker nap of 3/4 of an inch and 1 inch to help better absorb the paint.

Extending the pole is necessary since everything starts overhead while painting the ceiling. Select the right pole that extends so that you don’t have to stand on a ladder, placing pressure on a small area on the floor.

A good ceiling paint roller cover should be made of a good, hard-wearing woven polyester fabric. This fabric will allow you to spray thicker paint on the ceiling.

The texture of your ceiling should also determine the kind of cover material you will use. Rough ceilings might need a more powerful roller that will not be affected by snags.

When applying a lacquer or paint that dries with a gloss finish, you should use a mohair or microfiber roller cover. The fine hairs will allow very little stippling texture to remain on the skin.

The rollers should have a thick nap of about 1”-1 1⁄2” for applying paint on rough exterior surfaces. This assists the roller in sealing the floor with grooves that may not be smooth all over the area.

Paint rollers are divided into different categories because the best roller for a specific project differs from the others. The ideal paint roller is also different for different categories of surfaces being painted. Go through the details of your painting project and weigh these against the roller cover, napping and core appropriate for your project.
