Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this roller on interior walls?

While it can be used, the 18mm pile is designed for rough exterior textures. It will likely leave a heavy stippled finish on smooth interior drywall.

Is the roller tray compatible with larger rollers?

The tray is specifically sized for the 9-inch roller included in the set; it may not accommodate rollers wider than 9 inches.

How should I store the roller after use?

Clean it thoroughly, let it dry completely, and store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric.

What type of paint is best for this set?

This set is designed for heavy-bodied masonry paints used on exterior brick, render, and cement.

Is the handle threaded for extension poles?

Yes, the handle is designed to be compatible with most standard threaded extension poles for reaching higher areas.

Troubleshooting

Roller is shedding fibres onto the wall

The roller was not rinsed sufficiently before first use; stop painting, rinse the roller under water, and let it dry.

Roller sleeve keeps sliding off the frame

Ensure the 5-wire cage is fully inserted into the sleeve. If it continues to slide, check that the cage wires are not bent.

Paint finish appears uneven

Ensure you are applying enough paint to the sleeve and maintaining consistent pressure. Rough surfaces require more paint saturation than smooth ones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-capacity fabric holds significant paint volume
  • Effective on challenging, rough-textured exterior surfaces
  • Durable trade-quality cage prevents roller slippage
  • Ergonomic design minimizes user fatigue
  • Includes a sustainable, reusable recycled plastic tray

Cons

  • 18mm pile is too coarse for smooth interior drywall
  • Requires thorough initial rinsing to prevent shedding
  • Not intended for precision edging work

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your equipment, follow these setup and maintenance steps:

  1. Pre-Use Prep: Before the first use, rinse the roller sleeve thoroughly in cold or tepid water. This removes any loose fibres from the manufacturing process that could otherwise end up in your paint finish.
  2. Drying: Allow the roller to dry completely before attaching it to the frame and beginning your project.
  3. Compatibility: This 9-inch set is compatible with standard 9-inch roller extension poles if you need to reach high exterior walls.
  4. Cleaning: After use, wash the sleeve with warm, soapy water until the water runs clear. Air dry completely before storage to maintain the integrity of the unifibre material.
  5. Storage: Store the tray and frame in a dry, cool environment to prevent plastic degradation or frame oxidation.
