Having the right roller to do a painting job will save you time and effort. Always refer to the package that the roller comes in for the type of paint that it was designed for. Another consideration is the wall surface that you will be painting over. You will find this information on the package cover as well.
Synthetic Cover
A synthetic roller cover is a made from man-made fibers. Since it is inexpensive, it is a good choice if you do not wish to clean and save the roller.
Natural Cover
A natural cover is made from lambs' wool or mohair, and will cost more than a synthetic cover. Natural covers hold more paint and will save some time when you are painting.
Standard Roller
The standard size roller is 9 inches long and is the most common choice of paint rollers.
Medium Roller
A medium size roller is 7 inches long and is used for painting the exterior of homes. The 7-inch size works better than the standard size roller for painting siding and concrete.
Small Roller
The small roller measures 3 to 6 inches. This size works well for hard to reach or small spaces.
