Types of Paint Roller

There are five primary types of paint rollers to choose from: manual rollers, pad rollers, texture rollers, and mini hot dog rollers. Each type has advantages and disadvantages and each is suited to specific painting projects. Just as with the cost of paint, the cost of a roller impacts the final result of the project. So, let's get started.
Number 1.
Soft Woven
You can find soft woven rollers online for around $7 to $15 each (and for less if you purchase them in a set). Soft woven rollers are recommended for semi-gloss and gloss paint sheens, as they hold up well against clumping and matting. They also can be used with both oil and latex-based paint.
Number 2.
Wool & Polyester Blend
Wool-based paint rollers are some of the best rollers that you can purchase. These rollers can get be on the expensive side, starting at $10 or more (unless you purchase them in a set). In these blended rollers, half of the material is made from natural wool while the other half is made of 100% polyester.
Number 3.
Microfiber
Microfiber covers are a fairly new type of paint roller. You can find these rollers online for about $10 to $20. These rollers work with oil-based and latex paints as well as satin, matte, or eggshell finishes. Their soft texture offers a super smooth finish and is ideal on surfaces that have a very smooth texture.
Number 4.
Foam
Foam rollers are probably the most inexpensive type of paint roller that you can purchase, typically going for about $2 to $5. The reason that they are so cheap is that they are typically “single-use” paint rollers that don’t have much durability past one application.
Number 5.
Merino Sheepskin
Merino rollers are more on the expensive side, starting at around $25 per roller. These rollers are exceptionally soft and plush, allowing them to pick up more paint than other types of roller covers. Many painters use Merino covers exclusively. They are known to last for several years with proper maintenance and care.
Number 6.
Mohair
Mohair covers can be found online for around $7 to $15, depending on the brand. These rollers feature natural Angora mohair that is soft and smooth. Unsurprisingly, they offer a very smooth finish and work very well with semi-gloss and gloss paint sheens.
Number 7.
No Nap Rollers
No nap rollers can be purchased rather inexpensively, some even starting at $2 per roller. These rollers don’t have fibrous materials as other rollers do, but instead, have a dense foam material. The rollers are often used to paint areas such as cabinets, moldings, trim, doors, and furniture.
We hope that this video has provided you with more knowledge on how to choose the right paint roller for your project as well as various factors to consider.
