Foam Paint Rollers (0/0 Inch Nap): Best for ultra-smooth surfaces like interior doors, trim, baseboards, cabinets, and metal. Foam rollers leave a factory-smooth finish with zero texture or lap marks.
Short Nap Paint Rollers (1/4" to 3/8" Nap): The standard choice for smooth interior drywall, ceiling boards, new plaster, and wood trim. It holds enough paint for clean, uniform coverage without splatter.
Medium Nap Paint Rollers (1/2" to 3/4" Nap): Built for medium-textured interior walls, orange peel drywall, knockdown finishes, paneling, and painted brick.
Long Nap Paint Rollers (3/4" to 1-1/4" Nap): Designed for deep, rough surfaces like exterior stucco, heavy masonry, concrete blocks, corrugated metal, and textured siding. The thick fibers penetrate deep crevices effortlessly.
Textured & Patterned Specialty Rollers: Stamped rubber rollers designed to print decorative patterns, faux finishes, or raised wall accents directly onto wet paint or joint compound.
The appropriate type of paint roller can make a diference when tackling a paint job. It’s all in the finish!
