What roller for emulsion paint?

For best results when using emulsion paint, we recommend a medium-pile paint roller with a 3/8 to ½ inch nap length. These rollers are designed to hold and distribute the paint evenly onto walls and ceilings, making them the perfect choice for applying emulsion paint smoothly.

What roller for gloss paint?

To achieve optimum results when using gloss paint, we recommend using a short-pile or foam roller with a 1/8 to ¼ inch nap length. These types of rollers are designed to produce a smoother finish and are ideal for use with gloss or high-sheen paints. A short-pile or foam roller will minimise the appearance of texture on your walls, providing you with a more polished look than alternatives. Ensure you choose a roller sleeve appropriate for oil or solvent-based gloss paints to achieve the best results.

A medium-pile roller will help distribute the paint effectively while still providing some slight texture, enhancing the satin finish. Don’t forget to choose a roller sleeve designed for water-based paints like satin for optimal results.
