Shed-Proof Paint Roller Covers for Tight Spaces

Made from foam, these paint roller covers don't have any fibers to shed. When used on very smooth surfaces, such as metal or cabinetry, they create a finish similar to that of a paint sprayer. They're short and narrow to fit behind objects.

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

Shed-Proof Paint Roller Covers

Made from foam, these paint roller covers don't have any fibers to shed and leave a smooth finish. Use them on smooth surfaces, such as metal doors and cabinetry.

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.

Adjustable-Width Paint Roller Frames

These frames adjust to hold 12", 14", and 18" wide roller covers, so you can take on different-sized jobs with the same frame. Use them to cover large, flat surfaces quickly. To change widths, flip the levers up and move the arms in or out to fit your roller cover. Flip the arms down to lock them in place. Frames have a 3/4" Acme threaded hole to attach an extension handle (sold separately).

Frames require end caps (sold separately) to work with standard roller covers with a 1 1/2" core diameter.
