FAQs
What type of surfaces is this roller sleeve best suited for?
This roller sleeve is specifically designed for rough and extra rough surfaces such as textured walls, brickwork, concrete, and rendered finishes.
Can I use this roller sleeve with all types of paint?
Yes, it is compatible with emulsions, as well as both solvent-based and water-based masonry paints.
How do I clean the roller sleeve after use?
For water-based paints, rinse thoroughly with water. For solvent-based paints, use the appropriate solvent as recommended by the paint manufacturer. Ensure it is dried completely before storage.
Will the sleeve unwind during use?
No, the fabric is meticulously thermobonded to the core, which guarantees that the sleeve remains intact and unwinds-free, even when subjected to water or solvent conditions.
Does this sleeve cause a lot of paint splatter?
The twisted polyamide fabric is designed for minimal spatter, contributing to a cleaner painting experience.
What is the benefit of the high paint pick-up capability?
High paint pick-up means the roller holds more paint, allowing for efficient coverage and reducing the frequency of dipping into the paint tray, thus speeding up the painting process.
Is this roller sleeve suitable for smooth interior walls?
While it can be used, it is optimized for rough surfaces. For very smooth finishes, a roller sleeve with a finer nap might provide a more ideal finish.
Troubleshooting
Roller sleeve not fitting the frame
Ensure you are using a 12-inch roller frame designed for sleeves of this width. Check that the core is not damaged.
Uneven paint application
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and that the roller sleeve is fully saturated with paint. Check for any dried paint clumps on the sleeve.
Excessive spatter
While designed for minimal spatter, overworking the paint or using too much pressure can increase it. Apply paint with a steady, consistent motion.
Fibre loss during painting
This is rare with this type of sleeve. Ensure the sleeve is not damaged and that you are not applying excessive force, which could dislodge fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply slide the 12" roller sleeve onto a compatible roller frame of the same width. Ensure it is fitted securely before use.
Compatibility: This roller sleeve is designed for use with standard 12-inch roller frames and is compatible with emulsions, solvent-based paints, and water-based masonry paints.
Care: After each use, clean the roller sleeve immediately. For water-based paints, rinse thoroughly with water. For solvent-based paints, use the appropriate solvent according to the paint manufacturer's instructions. Squeeze out excess liquid and allow the sleeve to air dry completely before storing. Proper cleaning will extend the life of the sleeve and ensure optimal performance for future use.
