A high-density woven roller cover whose long pile reaches into knockdown texture, stucco and masonry crevices for full coverage, holds a lot of paint to cut reloads, and keeps the shed-resistant, fuzz-free weave. It is wrong for smooth walls, where it leaves heavy stipple, it soaks up more paint and raises cost per coat, and it is heavier overhead.

Pros

  • Long 3/4" nap reaches into knockdown texture, stucco and masonry crevices for full coverage
  • High paint capacity means fewer reloads on thirsty rough surfaces
  • Same shed-resistant Pro/Doo-Z weave, so no fuzz shedding on the wall

Cons

  • Far too much nap for smooth walls โ€” it leaves heavy stipple there
  • Soaks up a lot of paint, raising material cost per coat
  • Heavier and harder to control overhead when loaded

Frequently Asked Questions

When do you need a 3/4 inch nap?
On knockdown texture, stucco, brick and block โ€” surfaces with crevices a shorter nap bridges over and leaves unpainted. The long fibers reach into the texture, which is the whole job.
What happens if you use it on a smooth wall?
Heavy stipple. It is far too much nap for flat drywall and leaves an orange-peel texture you did not want, so keep it strictly for rough surfaces.
Does a thick nap cost more in paint?
Yes โ€” it soaks up a lot, raising material cost per coat, and it is heavier and harder to control overhead when loaded. The upside is fewer reloads on thirsty rough surfaces and no fuzz shedding.
