Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the heavy duty version different?

The heavy duty roller has a stronger cage frame and a longer pole range from 1.0 to 1.8 metres, plus a solvent resistant core on the cover. It is built for daily trade use and tougher coatings, while the DIY version is lighter and cheaper for home jobs.

Why does a solvent resistant core matter?

Some coatings and cleaning solvents soften the cardboard cores used on cheaper rollers, which makes the cover sag and spin unevenly. A solvent resistant core keeps its shape, so the roller stays true through the job and when it is cleaned.

Can I replace the cover when it wears out?

Yes. The 230mm heavy duty roller takes a standard 230mm roller cover, and the Uni-Pro economy and Little Ripper cover ranges include the right size. Slide the old cover off and the new one on when the nap flattens.
