Designed for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts working on challenging, textured surfaces, this Hamilton For The Trade roller sleeve is engineered to deliver even coverage on rough substrates like Artex. While it excels at paint pick-up and distribution on uneven walls and ceilings, its specialized long-pile construction means it is not intended for use on smooth, fine-finish walls where a shorter nap would be more appropriate.

No, this long pile sleeve is designed specifically for rough, textured surfaces. Using it on smooth walls will likely result in an orange-peel effect.
It is designed for use with a 12-inch double-arm roller frame.
This sleeve is intended for emulsions and masonry paints; it is not recommended for gloss finishes.
The sleeve is clean when the water runs completely clear after rinsing, and no paint residue remains trapped at the base of the pile.
Yes, provided it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried to prevent the pile from hardening or becoming matted.
Check that the double-arm frame is properly adjusted and securely locked into the 1.75-inch core ends.
You may be overloading the roller; ensure you are using the tray's ramp to evenly distribute paint across the pile before application.
Ensure the roller is fully saturated before beginning the section and maintain a consistent speed to avoid patchy coverage.
To set up, slide the sleeve onto a compatible 12-inch double-arm roller frame until it sits firmly in place. Ensure the arms are locked correctly to prevent the sleeve from shifting during use. After painting, care is essential to maintain the fabric's integrity. For water-based paints, rinse thoroughly with warm, soapy water until the water runs clear. For solvent-based paints, use the appropriate cleaning agent as recommended by the paint manufacturer. Once cleaned, spin the sleeve to remove excess moisture and allow it to dry vertically in a ventilated area to prevent flattening of the fibers.
