Although when we refer to a paint roller we think of it as a whole item, but in fact the most import part is the interchangeable sleeve as this is the part that gets the paint on the wall and determines how good the finish is.

As we have stated above, the sleeve is the most important part of a paint roller as it gets the paint on the wall, however without a frame and handle to operate it, it’s essentially useless. It also helps if you clean the surface before painting so that no grit or debris gets mixed into the paint or roller. Corner rollers are essentially very thin roller sleeves, often only an inch or so wide and they are especially designed to fit into the corners and angles where 2 surfaces such as a wall and a ceiling meet where a standard roller is unable to.

If you want to achieve a smooth finish for painting surfaces such as walls and high ceilings, then the microfiber roller is a perfect choice.
