Paint Rollers for Every Surface and Finish
At Rolon, we believe the tools you use are vital to a high-quality paint job, especially your paint rollers. Whether you’re a professional painter, working on a commercial renovation, or looking for a quality DIY finish, we offer an extensive range of paint rollers, and roller covers, designed to deliver smooth, fast, and quality results every time.
Choosing the Right Roller
With dozens of options on the market, selecting the right roller cover can be difficult. But choosing the correct roller and nap length saves you time, reduces the amount of paint you need to use, and delivers a professional-quality finish that lasts. Our expert-crafted roller covers come in a variety of materials and nap sizes (ranging from 4mm to 21mm) to suit any application.
Whether you’re applying acrylic, low sheen paints, oil-based paints, oil-based gloss, or semi-gloss paints, our roller covers are designed for ease of use and durability across different surfaces. For high-sheen paints, a low-nap or regular nap roller will help you avoid streaking and blistering. Our premium microfiber and proprietary material are engineered to deliver an exceptionally smooth finish, on everything from walls to ceilings, doors to cabinets, and outdoor surfaces to floors.
Designed for Smooth and Textured Surfaces
Not all surfaces are created equal. That’s why our product range includes rollers tailored for both textured and smooth surfaces. Smooth drywall? Go with our lint-free microfiber or woven roller covers to achieve a smooth finish without bubbles or blistering. For textured surfaces like popcorn ceilings or stucco, our high-capacity rollers ensure consistent paint coverage, even on uneven substrates.
Painting a brick wall, rough plaster, or cinder block? Our nap covers are perfect for pushing more paint deep into grooves without overspray or excessive back-rolling.
Get an Outstanding Finish, Every Time
Your end result matters. You’re likely aiming for a very smooth finish, so rest assured, our products are precision-engineered for consistency. From the frame to the fabric, our materials are designed to hold more paint efficiently, release it evenly, and glide effortlessly over any surface or textures. That means a small amount of drips, less waste, and less fatigue on the job.
Our rollers also feature precision-balanced frames for reduced wrist strain, comfort-grip handles for all-day use, and a universal thread design compatible with standard extension poles.
Custom Roller Widths for Every Job
Painting larger areas? You’ll want a wide roller nap. Need to get behind radiators or between cabinet panels? Opt for a narrower roller nap, like a model. Whatever the task, our variety of roller width options ensures you have the right tool for the job—without compromising coverage or control.
Essential Tips for Choosing the Best Paint Rollers for Your Project
Introduction
Introduction to Paint Rollers
- Paint rollers are a crucial tool for any painting project. Good quality products provide a smooth finish, are easy to use, and save time.
- Consider the type of paint and surface when selecting a paint roller.
- Different materials and naps should be used with different paints and on different surfaces or textures.
Types of Roller Covers
Types of Roller Covers
- Paint roller covers come in two main types: woven and knit models.
- Woven rollers, including microfibre and mohair, leave no lint and provide a smooth finish.
- Knit rollers, made of materials such as polyester and lambswool, hold more paint and are better for large areas and textured surfaces.
- The most suitable roller cover can make a big difference in a paint job's final result. Consider the fabric, whether that be polyester or sheeps wool.
