FAQs
What size roller sleeves fit this frame?
This frame is designed for standard 7-inch roller sleeves. Always check the compatibility of your chosen sleeve, as brand sizes can sometimes vary.
Can I use this frame with any type of paint?
Yes, you can use this frame with most types of paint (water-based, oil-based, emulsions, etc.), provided you use a roller sleeve that is appropriate for the specific paint type.
How do I clean the roller frame?
Wipe the roller frame clean with a damp cloth after each use. Ensure no paint residue remains on the metal parts.
What is the benefit of the 7-inch size?
The 7-inch size offers a good balance between speed of coverage on medium-sized areas like walls and maneuverability in tighter spaces compared to larger rollers.
Is this frame suitable for professionals?
The 'Seriously Good' range is targeted towards DIY users. While durable for home use, professional painters requiring heavy-duty tools for daily commercial use might prefer Heavy Duty frames.
How should I store the roller frame?
Store the roller frame in a dry place. It's best to store it after cleaning and ensuring it's free from paint residue to prevent rust or damage.
Troubleshooting
Roller sleeve is difficult to fit.
Ensure you are using a standard 7-inch roller sleeve. Try gently wiggling the sleeve onto the frame. If it's consistently too tight, consider a different brand of sleeve.
Roller sleeve slips during use.
The roller sleeve may not be properly seated or is the wrong size. Remove the sleeve and reapply, ensuring it's pushed fully onto both ends of the frame. Check that the sleeve is designed for a 7-inch frame.
Frame feels unstable or wobbly.
Check that the roller sleeve is firmly attached. Inspect the frame for any damage or bending. Ensure the roller covers are clean and not obstructing the frame's rotation.
Handle feels uncomfortable during extended use.
Take regular breaks to rest your hand. Ensure you are holding the handle correctly for optimal grip. For very long tasks, consider a roller frame with a more specialized ergonomic grip if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Align the roller sleeve with the frame's prongs.
- Push the sleeve onto the frame until it is securely seated on both ends. Ensure it does not slip.
Compatibility:
This frame is designed to fit most standard 7-inch roller sleeves. However, due to variations in manufacturing, it is recommended to test the fit of your chosen roller sleeve before use. Ensure the sleeve fits snugly without being too tight or too loose.
Care:

- Frame: Wipe the roller frame clean with a damp cloth after each use to remove any paint drips. Store in a dry place.
