Scuttles and trays: scuttles are small containers you can use to decant small amounts of paint to make it easy to carry paint up a ladder when cutting in. Paint trays are used with paint rollers to load the paint onto the roller sleeve. Consider whether the surface you're painting is smooth or textured, indoors or outdoors, and what type of finish you want. This will help you decide on a roller pile type (i.e., short for smooth indoor surfaces, medium for lightly textured indoor surfaces and long for heavily textured outdoor surfaces) or the brush bristle type (i.e., use a fine-tip brush for a smooth, brush-mark free finish). roller - also known as mini-rollers, 4" rollers are for tight areas or detailed painting such as interior trim or furniture

Dust sheets: these are used to cover furniture and floors to protect them from paint drips. They’re available in reusable, washable materials or disposable polythene. All manufacturers of paint roller sleeves offer varying roller sleeves for a range of jobs that are made out of different materials, such as foam and polyamide. These sleeves come in levels of 'nap', otherwise known as 'pile', which refers to the length of the fibres the sleeve is made out of. There are several different types of paint brush bristles available, and the type you choose will depend on the paint you are using and the finish you want to achieve. Types of bristles include: roller - this gives flexibility to use a slightly bigger roller that can be used both internally and externally roller - the most common width of roller, that is used for most painting jobs, including interior wallsDue to its expert technical knowledge of the technologies and materials available across the industry, Promain has a reputation for outstanding service among its trade and retail customers.

Paint rollers allow higher quantities of paint to be applied as smoothly as possible to a surfaces, especially when compared to a paint brush. Having the right tools for the job is the first step in any decorating project. Contrary to what many DIY'ers believe, not all decorating supplies are the same and they can't all achieve the same finish. What we always say to DIY'ers is to buy the most expensive decorating tools you can afford, as they offer more durability, will achieve a much better finish and long-term offers much better value for money than a cheap decorating tool that you will use once and bin. Yes, you can wash out paint rollers and reuse them multiple times, especially if you buy a good quality paint roller that has much more durability than a cheap roller sleeve. Q. How many paint rollers do I need?Medium pile paint rollers have a pile that's around 10-12mm in length. They're designed to apply paint onto lightly textured surfaces such as Artex ceilings, although they can be used for smooth surfaces. The length of the pile means they can get into the nooks and crannies found on textured surfaces. Rollers for emulsion paints and multipurpose rollers can come in a medium pile option. However, a 9-inch roller won’t reach into smaller narrower areas so a 4-inch roller is an ideal choice. These come in two variations woven and foam. Woven is great for emulsion and subtle textures, but if you want a smooth finish when glossing doors or painting furniture then you need a foam roller. How to Clean Your Roller Natural bristles are usually made of silk or coarse animal hair. The bristles hold paint within the brush and have split ends which help to produce a fine finish. They are best used with solvent-based paints to paint doors and skirting boards. A double arm roller frame is good for additional stability as it attaches to each side of the roller

Most of our trade customers avoid foam for solvent based paints but this option can be useful on occasion and for water based glosses etc. The information above hopefully gives you a good overview of the different types of paint brushes and rollers available and what painting jobs they’re best used for. But here are a few other things to consider before buying:Gloss pile simulated mohair/mohair rollers are popular with trade for water based glosses, satins and wood stains; be sure to choose gloss pile rather than longer pile which is better for semi smooth textured surfaces. Mohair (simulated) has good durability and tends not to shed. Other Paint Roller Tips If you are using oil-based paint like an undercoat or gloss, you will need to use a brush cleaner. Place the roller in a suitable-sized container with the brush cleaner and squeeze to remove any paint. Repeat until clean. Note this will be messy and you might want to wear rubber gloves. Low density foam rollers are an economical option that do not shed pile or mottle easily. They are good choice for DIYers who want to use and dispose of equipment after a project. Short pile paint rollers have a pile that's around 6-8mm in length. They're designed to apply paint onto smooth, flat surfaces, leaving a fine, untextured finish. The length of the pile means they don't drip much while painting. These are one of the best rollers for painting walls. Rollers designed for glossing have short piles, as do some emulsion and multipurpose rollers. Finish in hot soapy water to remove any brush cleaner residue. As an extra precaution, wrap in clingfilm to stop any paint residue from going hard. More Best Buys for Regular Painting Jobs
