Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 270mm roller better than 230mm?

The 270mm cover paints a wider strip with each pass, so it covers a wall faster and with fewer lapping lines. It is heavier and a little harder to control in tight corners, which is why the 230mm size still has its place for detail work.

What nap should I use on my walls?

A 10mm nap acrylic cover is the standard all round choice for flat and low sheen acrylic on smooth to lightly textured walls. It holds enough paint for a full pass without loading the roller so heavily that it drips.

Can I use this roller for ceilings?

Yes. The twist lock pole extends to 1.55 metres, so you can roll a ceiling from the floor in most rooms. Work in a W pattern and lay off with light passes for an even coat.

Is the 270mm roller heavier to use?

The wider cover paints more per pass, which is faster on large walls, but it is heavier and a little harder to control in tight corners. Use the 230mm roller for detail work and the 270mm for the big areas.

What nap should I use on my walls?

A 10mm nap acrylic cover is the standard all round choice for flat and low sheen acrylic on smooth to lightly textured walls.
