How To Choose the Right Mini Roller


Mini rollers are a great solution when you need to paint smaller surface areas, where large rollers just aren’t suitable.

The type of painting project you're tackling will guide you in choosing the perfect mini roller. Our mini rollers are each made from a range of different materials and nap lengths, designed to give you a perfect finish on any surface.

The mini roller ‘nap’ refers to the thickness of the fabric. A thicker nap holds more paint and is ideal for rougher surfaces, while a shorter nap is better suited for smoother finishes.
