Microfibre 10mm Paint Rollers
It is the best choice for a topcoat or any large paint projects where coverage and smooth finish is required. The roller sleeve fabric is designed to leave a smooth and uniform finish on painted surfaces.
We recommend our Dacron for acrylic primers to enhance the finish of the microfibre.Â
Perfect for use on very tight spaces where bigger rollers canât get to. These mini rollers eliminate the need to lay off your paint.
Perfect for water-based paints
If you love our microfibre paint rollers as much as we do but want a smaller size to paint those smaller nooks and crannies, weâve got you covered with our super mini 50mm versions of our semi-smooth rollers in a 4 pack. These rollers are just as good as the regular 230mm 10mm nap rollers, are super durable and hold plenty of paint to finish your paint job with ease and a stunning semi-smooth finish.
The 10mm-nap version of our mini rollers also comes in a 100mm and 160mm length. This particular roller holds a considerable amount of paint, washes out easily, and is ideal to cut walls and ceilings in conjunction with our 10mm-nap big rollers, as doing so will result in a uniform finish with no picture framing. Perfect for use on radiators, exterior weatherboards, and previously painted surfaces, these mini rollers eliminate the need to lay off your paint.

Our Recommendation
The key to achieving the smoothest finish is to make sure that the painted surface is prepared well â holes filled, surface well cleaned, and dried. Also, before starting using our rollers, always use water to ârinse & spin before you beginâ and you will achieve the best finish right from the start. Besides, the post-painting cleaning process will be much easier too!Â
Wash them well after each use, and keep them moist. If you let the fabric dry, you run the risk of fibres drying hard.
Our rollers donât shed unless a manufacturing fault has occurred. If this happens, youâll see chunks of fabric coming off rather than single strings of fabric. We recommend the ârinse and spin before you beginâ tactic to get rid of all loose fibers on your roller.
We do not recommend using our current range of rollers with shellac paint. Shellac will gradually dissolve glue, causing damage to the roller and resulting in shedding during paint application
Dacron sleeves are different to Wooster Pro/Doo-Z fabric. Dacron is to be used for only water-based paints, whereas Wooster Pro/Doo-Z can be used with all paints.
In general, microfibre rollers are finishing rollers. Theyâre recommended for use with water-based paints; however, you can use them with some primers.
Because of the structure of the fabric, our 10mm Dacron rollers perform best with acrylic paints and are not suitable for oil-based paints.Â
If youâre priming your brand-new plasterboard walls or repainting either darker or lighter, our Dacron is the best pick to achieve optimal coverage and a professional-looking finish. Learn more about Dacron vs. microfibre here.
Our Dacron paint roller sleeve will give you superb coverage while our Microfibre paint roller sleeve will leave a smooth finish.
Itâs all about the substrate and the condition of the surface. Generally, the higher the nap, the more âorange-peel effectâ is visible if you paint over a flat surface.
The most common naps are 5mm (smooth surfaces), 10mm (the most common nap; best for semi-smooth surfaces), and 15mm+ (textured or rough surfaces).
Our 5mm-nap microfibre rollers are best for smooth surfaces where a seamless finish is desired â such as flat walls, doors, and large cupboards.
10mm naps are best for top coats or large paint projects where more coverage and smooth finishes are required. Our roller-sleeve fabric is designed to leave a smooth, uniform finish on painted surfaces.
We recommend our Dacron roller for acrylic primers to enhance the finish of the microfibre.
Use a 15mm nap when you donât require a smooth finish and when time is of the essence. Our 15mm-nap microfibre roller is ideal for these scenarios; it holds more paint than the 10mm (allowing you to complete your project more quickly) and still leaves a smooth finish.
No. We donât currently have an epoxy roller in our range.
Weâre working on it! Weâll soon be releasing rollers suitable for epoxy.
Our rollers can be used with water-based varnishes, but we recommend testing yours with any oil-based varnish before use.
In general, we recommend using our microfibre rollers with water-based paints only for best results. However, you can use some oil-based paints as well; we recommend testing before use.
Dacron can only be used with water-based paints. This type of fabric is not designed to work with any solvent-based paints.
If you use a water-based system, we recommend Dacron rollers for priming. Use our 5mm or 10mm microfibre on the top coat for best results.
Most synthetic fibres weaken when exposed to chemicals, so unfortunately our microfibre rollers are affected by prolonged exposure. We know that painters use our rollers with Brush Mate, and although it works for the short-term, we donât recommend the practice.
We personally have never used our microfibre rollers with chalk paints, but weâre aware of customers successfully doing so. Thousands of our followers are upcyclers who use our rollers with chalk paint on a daily basis. We also supply retail and online stores that specialise in chalk paint.
We havenât personally tried it, nor do we know of customers doing so. Chalk paint is generally applied with a mini roller, and we donât currently have a mini version of the Dacron. At this point, we wouldnât recommend using our Dacron rollers with chalk paints.
