FAQs
What type of surfaces is this roller refill best for?
This roller refill is best suited for semi-rough and rough surfaces such as textured plaster, render, brickwork, and concrete.
Can I use this roller with gloss paint?
While primarily designed for emulsion and masonry paints, it can be used with some solvent-based paints. However, for high-gloss finishes on smooth surfaces, a short-pile or foam roller might provide a better result.
How do I clean the roller refill?
For water-based paints, rinse immediately with warm water until clean and allow to air dry. For solvent-based paints, use the recommended solvent for cleaning and dry thoroughly.
What is the pile height of this roller?
The pile height of this roller refill is 18mm.
Does this come with a roller frame?
No, this is a roller refill only and requires a compatible 230mm roller frame to be used.
How long will the roller refill last?
With proper cleaning and care, the durable polyester fabric should provide good performance for multiple projects, especially when used with compatible paints and surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Uneven paint application or lint transfer
Ensure the roller is fully saturated with paint. Check for any loose fibers on the roller; trim if necessary. The surface may be too smooth for the long pile; consider a short pile roller for very smooth finishes.
Roller not fitting securely on the frame
Verify that the roller frame spindle diameter is compatible (usually 8mm) and that the roller refill is pushed on completely. Ensure the frame itself is not damaged.
Paint pick-up is poor
Ensure the roller is thoroughly cleaned and dry before use. If the roller is old or worn, it may need replacement. Ensure you are loading enough paint onto the roller from the tray.
