ProDec Advance 10 pack 4" Short Pile Microfibre Mini Paint Rollers

Product Description

Microfibre is the most versatile paint roller fabric, with the short pile version being suitable for emulsion paints on walls and ceilings, gloss and satin paints on wood and metal, as well as woodstains and varnishes.

The secret to this versatility is the softness - or denier - of the fabric, which gives it a very light touch and means less roller texture in the paint film, also known as mottle with emulsion paints or orange peel with gloss and satin paints, and often seen with other fabrics. Microfibre also works differently to other roller fabrics: it absorbs the paint inside the fibres, instead of the paint just sitting between the fibres, meaning that it both loads more smoothly and releases the paint more evenly throughout the stroke, requiring less working out and increasing your painting efficiency. In practice, you should find that the roller doesn't just dump the paint onto the surface at the start of the stroke, it should release it gradually as you paint.

The 6mm short pile is suitable for interior water- and solvent/oil-based emulsion paints (eg. matt, silk, eggshell), gloss, satin, woodstains and varnishes on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces 

The 10 rollers in this pack are 4” (100mm) width, ideal for painting smaller areas with emulsion that you can't easily get to with a wider roller, and skirting boards, window sills, panel doors, metalwork and more with gloss and satin.

For best results the roller should be washed in cold or tepid water before first use to remove any loose fibres. Stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using.
