Paint-roller sizes and sets

Before buying replacement sleeves, record the width and fitting of your existing roller frame. A sleeve can have the right advertised width and still need a different cage or spindle arrangement. For a new set, compare the supplied sleeve material and pile with the paint manufacturer’s recommendations and the texture of the surface. Harris distinguishes rollers for smoother and more textured surfaces; this is a reason to read the intended-use description rather than buying by colour or pack size.

MATCH THE DETAILS TO YOUR JOB

What to check before buying

  1. Match sleeve width and the stated core or frame fitting to the roller frame you own.
  2. Check the manufacturer’s intended paint and surface texture, including the stated pile or sleeve material.
  3. Confirm whether the set includes a frame, tray and extension pole or only replacement sleeves.
  4. Compare tray width and any pole connection with the chosen frame, using the exact product specifications.
