PILE DEPTH GUIDE – Selecting the right pile of roller for emulsion or masonry paint is critical to ensuring good coverage and a high quality finish. Use this guide to help you make the right choice.

Short pile

Suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings. Because the pile is shorter it puts down less paint and gives you the smoothest of finishes. It’s good if you’re painting a similar colour over the previous one, but if the colour change is more significant you should consider choosing a medium pile as it will put down more paint and cover better. Short pile rollers can also be used with gloss and satin paints on smooth planed wood and metal.

Medium pile

The most popular pile used with emulsion paints and suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings (including light to medium textured plasters such as artex). It is suitable for emulsion colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Depending on the fabric type, it can also be used on semi-smooth masonry surfaces such as brick.

Long pile

Suitable for semi-rough and rough surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement and render, where the longer pile is effective at getting into the surface texture, as well as interior walls and ceilings (including medium to heavily textured plasters such as artex). As it lays down plenty of paint it is suitable for colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Can be used on smooth surfaces but won’t give as good a finish as shorter pile rollers.

Extra long pile

Suitable for rough and very rough masonry surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement, heavily textured renders, stucco (exterior cement plaster) and pebbledash. It gives maximum paint loading – essential for efficiency when painting masonry so you’re reloading less often – and is effective at getting into surface textures for rapid application without missing areas.

GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR PAINT ROLLER – Here are some useful tips that professional decorators use that will save you time and ensure you get the very best result for your hard work.

Before the first use

Unless it is marketed as being lint-free, before its first use wash the roller in cold or tepid water to remove any loose fibres that would otherwise transfer onto the surface when painting: you’ll save yourself time not having to pick out bits from the paint film. Remove excess water, stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using.

The first paint load

Allow the first paint load to soak down to the core by leaving it for 5-10 minutes. This will enable the roller to more quickly reach its paint holding capacity and maximise the amount you apply with each load, improving your painting efficiency.

Load the roller evenly

Load the roller with paint and use the roll-off area on your tray or scuttle to distribute paint evenly across and around the roller. This will give even application on the surface and save you time by not having to work out paint that would otherwise be dumped on.

Cleaning after use

Remove as much paint from the roller as you can so as little as possible is wasted or goes into drainage systems. Inexpensive tools specially designed for this are available, or you can use a paint scraper or similar tool. Wash emulsion paints and water-based gloss, satin and woodstains with warm (not hot) water, with a small amount of detergent if it helps. Wash solvent-based paints with white spirit – do not wash white spirit down sinks; use a container and appropriate gloves and dispose of the solvent carefully. Stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using again.

This is a 6 roller pack, ideal as a bulk pack for trade professionals or for larger DIY projects, featuring 5 medium pile and 1 long pile. With a distinctive tiger stripe pattern, these are ProDec’s most popular rollers used by the trade with emulsion and masonry paints due to their excellent balance of performance and value for money. Giving a trade quality finish, they pick up plenty of paint without over-loading, enabling you to effortlessly power through large areas such as walls and ceilings, with even paint application for efficiency and excellent coverage to minimise the number of coats required. The fabric is machine woven, giving the fibres a double anchor with low lint and excellent durability, standing up to heavy duty use and washing out well after use, enabling the rollers to be reused time after time.

The 12mm (0.5″) medium pile is suitable for interior emulsion paints (eg. matt, silk, eggshell) on smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall, ceilings (including light to medium textured plasters such as artex) and masonry paints on semi-smooth surfaces such as brick.

The 18mm (0.75″) long pile is suitable for masonry paints on semi-rough and rough surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement and render, where the longer pile is effective at getting into the surface texture, as well as emulsion paints on walls and ceilings (including medium to heavily textured plasters) although it won’t give quite as good a finish on smooth surfaces as the medium pile.

As both piles lay down plenty of paint they are suitable for colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa (the opacity/covering power of the paint is of course critical as well).

These rollers are 9” (225mm) width, which is ideal for walls and ceilings. They have a 1.75″ (44mm) trade diameter core, so ensure you have a compatible 1.75″ diameter cage roller frame.

For best results rollers 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.

For heavily textured masonry surfaces, consider using ProDec’s Extra Long Pile Heavy Duty roller which is cut to 25mm to better get into the texture. For gloss and satin paints, choose a shorter pile ProDec roller: either a specialist Gloss Pile or foam roller, or a shorter pile woven fabric like 6mm Short Pile Microfibre.

Excellent paint pick-up and release for a smooth trade finish
12mm medium pile ideal for emulsions (eg. matt, silk, eggshell) and masonry paint
