Achieve better results with less effort on your painting projects with Valspar’s Knit Polyester Roller Cover. Specifically designed with a 1/2-inch nap, this standard 9-inch cover excels on lightly textured to textured surfaces, including textured drywall, plaster, masonry, and even concrete walls or ceilings.  

The knit polyester construction is engineered for a quicker finish, efficiently picking up and releasing paint to cover surfaces faster. The longer 1/2″ nap holds more paint and effectively reaches into the crevices and bumps of textured surfaces, ensuring even coverage where shorter naps might miss. This versatile roller cover is compatible with all paints and primers, making it a great choice for a wide range of interior and exterior projects where texture is a factor.   

Please Note: This is a single roller cover only. A compatible standard 9-inch roller frame (with a 1-1/2″ core diameter assumed) is required for use and is sold separately.

Product Questions

Q1: Why would I choose a 1/2" nap roller instead of a 3/8" nap?

A 1/2″ nap is specifically designed for surfaces that are not smooth. It holds more paint and the longer fibers can better reach into the low spots of textured drywall, stucco, masonry block, or concrete, ensuring a more even and complete paint coverage compared to a shorter 3/8″ nap which is best for smooth surfaces.

Q2: What's the difference between this Knit Polyester cover and a Woven cover?

Knit covers, like this one, are often designed for faster paint application as they tend to pick up and release paint quickly. Woven covers (like microfiber or woven polyester) are generally favored for achieving the absolute smoothest, most lint-free finish, especially with higher-end paints or smoother surfaces. Knit is often a good balance of speed and performance for general painting, especially on texture.  

Q3: Can I use this roller cover for both latex and oil-based paints on concrete?

Yes, this roller cover is specified for use with “all paints and primers,” making it suitable for applying both water-based (latex/acrylic) and oil-based coatings to properly prepared concrete surfaces, as well as other textured walls and ceilings.
