3. Which is the most suitable paint roller for my job?
   

   First of all, we should indicate that paint rollers are clasified following two main characteristics: pile lenght and type of textile.

   Although our paint rollers are designed and manufactured to give the best finishing without wasting time, as a rule we consider: smoother the surface shorter the pile we have to use. Always having in mind that longer the pile length is, more paint you leave on the surface. Having these ideas clear, the professional can choose among a wide range of paint rollers.
