Choosing the right rollers for your exterior painting project is highly important to your satisfaction with an exterior painting project. When you choose the wrong roller, the paint won’t roll onto the surface well enough to give you the finished look you’re imagining. That’s why it’s important for you to read this guide to choosing the best rollers for exterior painting.<\/p>\n

The Best Paint Rollers for Exterior Painting Projects<\/h2>\n

The following are the different types and sizes of paint rollers you have to choose from when painting the outside of your home. Knowing the degree of smoothness of the exterior of your home can help you greatly when trying to identify the right one for you.<\/p>\n

Rollers with a Thick Nap<\/h3>\n

Thick rollers have a 3\/4\u2033 nap, and they should be used on rough surfaces. They can get into crevices, which makes them great surfaces such as stucco.<\/p>\n

Medium Nap Rollers<\/h3>\n

These rollers’ nap is 3\/8\u2033 and they perform best on medium rough surfaces. They simply don’t have the depth to get into really deep crevices, but still have enough to do a good job when you do have some roughness, such as with wood or vinyl surfaces.<\/p>\n

Thin Nap Rollers<\/h3>\n

These have a 1\/4\u2033 nap or a foam one. These are best only for smooth surfaces. They simply glide over surfaces, so any roughness will not get painted as well.<\/p>\n

What Roller Size Is Best for Exterior Painting<\/h2>\n

Size matters when it comes to the rollers you choose to use for exterior painting. Longer rollers cover more area, so they allow you to work faster. This is perfect for larger homes \u2013 just remember to choose the right nap.<\/p>\n

The shorter rollers can still be useful for exterior painting projects \u2013 they are best for trim work or hard to reach places. This should be part of your painting tools.<\/p>\n
