What is Wool?

A long sleeved mohair roller would be used to cover a textured wall or an artexed ceiling whereas a smooth foam roller would be used to paint emulsion on a nice smooth, plastered wall. The length of the hair on a roller is called the nap or pile of the roller. Synthetic fibre rollers are broken in to 2 categories, either knit or woven. Knit fibre rollers are generally best for flat finishes such as matt, where as woven are great for gloss water-based finishes. Despite how easy they can make life, sometimes there is a lot of confusion over the best roller to use in any given situation, so in this guide we run through the types of roller and their uses..
