Get the Perfect Finish with Quality Paint Roller Covers
The right paint roller cover ensures a smooth, professional-looking finish. At Mitre10, we offer a wide range of roller covers from trusted brands like Uni-Pro, Accent, and RotaCota, designed for every surface and painting project.
Our roller covers come in various nap lengths to suit your needs. Short nap covers (6mm or less) are ideal for smooth surfaces like doors and furniture, while medium nap options (9-12mm) work best for standard walls and ceilings. For rough surfaces like brick or textured walls, longer nap covers (15mm and above) ensure thorough coverage.
Material choice is also important. Synthetic covers are perfect for water-based paints and easy to clean, while wool-blend covers hold more paint, excel with oil-based paints, and provide faster coverage. Many premium options feature microfiber technology for better paint pickup and release, helping you complete jobs efficiently.
Choose a roller cover size that matches your frame – typically 230mm (9 inch) for walls and ceilings, or smaller sizes for trim. Quality covers reduce splatter, improve paint release, and can be cleaned and reused, making them a cost-effective choice for any painter.
