Wooster Brush R292-9 Lambswool 100 Roller Cover, 3/4-Inch Nap, 9-Inch

Product Information

It really is my belief that high-end synthetics are a much better value than lambskin or even lambswool. Because they leave behind a minimum of texture compared to a traditional woven roller, the microfiber roller is especially good when using glossy paint. This is especially true when using glossy finishes as the microfiber roller really brings out the shine.

There are numerous types of paint rollers for different jobs; the largest are 18 inches long but the most popular tend to be around 9 inches in width. In light of this, Perfection has been developed as our ‘top tier’ offering giving more specific choice and quality for the discerning professional painter and decorator – we know that tools are life and they need to be high quality and last in the long term. When used on doors, cabinets, and other surfaces that are smooth, using such covers can create an almost spray-like finish. Our Prestige range has been developed to bring more breadth of choice – here you will find every tool you need for a really professional job. Although not exactly a paint roller, they do kind of work in a similar way hence the reason we are mentioning them.

Schneider’s company, Purdy, recently released the Colossus, a synthetic that delivers even more paint than sheepskin.

The covers on sheepskin rollers are long enough to hold a lot of paint and dense enough to avoid splattering. Lambskin, however, is the most solvent-resistant roller sleeve material on the market, making it a favourite choice for many marine and industrial applications. And if you're still not swayed, lambswool is a sustainable material - choose it for the environment. Very popular type of paint roller sleeve and a great choice for both DIY’ers and tradesmen alike and are pretty much the go-to solution today.However it is essential that you also use a paint brush, or paint pad to cut in around the edges and corners where the roller cannot get to without making a mess of the surface next to the one you are painting. To paint or cover a wall another essential task is to get the right amount of paint on to the roller sleeve and one of the best tools to do so is the humble roller tray.
