Paint Roller Covers for Tight Spaces

These short, narrow roller covers fit behind and between objects.

Nap thickness determines the coating finish texture. The thicker the nap, the more texture it adds. For a smoother finish, choose a cover with a short nap thickness.

Covers for semi-smooth surfaces are for use on walls and ceilings. Covers for semi-rough surfaces are for use on textured walls and concrete.

3"- and 4"-long roller covers are small enough to fit inside a one-gallon paint can.

Paint Rollers for Tight Spaces

These short, narrow rollers cover areas where standard paint rollers won't fit.

Roller covers with a knitted fabric nap leave behind a textured finish. Roller covers with a woven fabric nap resist shedding fibers and leave a smoother finish than a knitted fabric nap. Roller covers with a foam nap don’t shed for a very smooth finish.

Rollers for smooth surfaces are for use on metal doors and cabinetry. Rollers for semi-smooth surfaces are for use on walls and ceilings. Rollers for semi-rough surfaces are for use on textured walls and concrete.

4"-long rollers are small enough to fit inside a one-gallon paint can.
