What is a Long-Pile Paint Roller?

A long-pile paint roller is a roller with longer fabric fibres designed to hold and distribute a larger amount of paint while reaching into textured, uneven or rough surfaces.

Long-pile rollers are commonly used where a short-pile roller may not be able to adequately reach surface texture or provide sufficient paint coverage.

The ROX® Poly-Plus long-pile roller uses high-density fabric to provide high paint pick-up and release while maintaining a durable working surface for professional painting applications.

Is a long-pile roller suitable for smooth walls?

A long-pile roller is primarily intended for medium to rough or textured surfaces. A shorter-pile roller may be more appropriate where a smoother finish is required on a relatively smooth surface.

What is the difference between a long-pile and short-pile roller?

Long-pile rollers generally carry more paint and are better suited to textured and rough surfaces, while short-pile rollers are generally used on smoother surfaces where a finer finish is required.
