Paint Rollers (195 items found)

Whether you’re applying a first coat of paint or repainting, the painting tools that you choose for the job are as important as the paint type and color. Paint rollers can help simplify the task, and Ace Hardware makes shopping for them easy with a wide range of paint rollers and paint roller kits available online and in stores.

Benefits of Using a Paint Roller

Paint rollers offer several benefits for interior and exterior painting jobs. While paint brushes are good options for tight or small spaces, paint rollers may be preferred for larger surfaces for a more efficient work experience. With a paint roller, paint goes on in a thinner layer, typically adheres more evenly and can appear more uniform than with brushes alone.

By using different paint roller covers, you can achieve a variety of effects that might be difficult to accomplish with an ordinary brush. Plus, the handle on a paint roller frame allows you to reach further when painting walls and ceilings. Use a paint roller extension pole to lengthen the handle for more reach when the project calls for it.  

Stock Up on Essentials with a Paint Roller Kit

Whether you’re painting a whole room or just a wall, several paint tools help you get the job done quickly and smoothly. With the many paint roller sets available, purchasing supplies for your project has gotten easier, too.

Paint roller kits typically include a combination of paint trays, stir sticks, paint pads and brushes. You’ll also typically receive paint roller frames and paint roller covers to go with them. Depending on the size of the area you’ll be painting and your tool preferences, you can find the right roller kit that suits your job. Some include mini rollers and trays, while other kits come packaged with tools in multiple sizes.

Not only do sets make it simpler to buy a paint roller and a cover to match, but they can also allow you to enjoy cost savings. The price for kits is generally less than the cost of purchasing all the same tools and accessories separately.

Selecting the Right Paint Roller Frame

To get the best possible results from your painting project, you need to choose a paint roller frame and a cover that are right for your needs. The size of the roller and the thickness and material type of the cover will determine how quickly you can apply the paint, how much control you have, how well the paint adheres to your working surface and what texture the finish has once dry. For example, larger roller frames are ideal for spacious surfaces like ceilings or walls, while furniture or kitchen cabinets would require smaller options.
