FAQs
See all FAQsWhat's the quickest way to paint a wall or ceiling?
Cut in around the edges with a brush first, then fill the main area with a 9 inch roller. It covers large areas far faster than a brush and gives a more even finish. The 9" x 1.5" 3 pc Medium Pile Roller Set gives you everything you need to get started.
Which roller pile should I choose?
The pile is the length of the roller's fibres. Medium pile is the all-rounder for most interior walls and ceilings, such as the 9" x 1.5" Medium Pile Roller sleeve. Long pile pushes paint into rough surfaces like brick and render, so use the Long Pile Masonry Roller for exterior walls. For gloss and satin on doors and woodwork, choose foam.
How do I avoid roller marks and patchy coverage?
Load the roller evenly, roll off the excess in the tray, and work in sections of about a square metre using a loose W pattern. Keep a wet edge by overlapping into the area you've just painted, and don't press too hard. Replace worn or matted sleeves, as they hold less paint.
How do I reach high ceilings without a ladder?
Fit your roller frame to an extension pole. The 5pc Extension Pole lets you adjust the length to suit the room, or choose the Medium Pile Roller, Frame & Pole Set to get everything together.
Can I use a roller on doors and woodwork?
Yes, and it's often quicker than a brush on flat panels. A foam roller lays gloss and satin down smoothly with very little texture. Try the 7" Triple Foam Gloss Roller & Frame Set for doors, or the 7 pc 4" Foam Mini Roller Set for smaller areas and touch-ups.
What's the easiest way to stain decking or paint a fence?
A wide applicator gets treatment onto boards much faster than a small brush. The 5 pc Decking Stain Applicator Set is made for decking, and the 7" 4 pc Shed & Fence Roller & Brush Kit has what you need for fences and sheds.
I'm new to decorating. Is there a kit with everything I need?
Yes. The 10 pc Complete Home Decorating Kit brings the essentials together so you can start straight away. For bigger projects, the 21 pc Ultimate Home Decorating Kit adds even more tools.
What is a paint pad and why would I use one?
A paint pad is a flat pad of fine fibres on a handle. It holds paint well, spatters less than a roller and gives a smooth, even coat, making it a great choice for beginners. The 5 pc 7" Click System Paint Pad Set lets you swap pads quickly between jobs.
How do I cut in neatly without masking tape?
Use an edging pad or an edge roller. The Fit For The Job Corner & Edge Roller is designed for corners and edges where a standard roller won't reach. Load it lightly and run it along in one steady movement, then tidy any tricky spots with a Diamond Cutting In Brush. It's one of the easiest ways to get a sharp line between walls and ceilings.
