What Are Jumbo Roller Sleeves? 

Jumbo roller sleeves measure between 350mm & 460mm and are designed for speed and coverage, perfect for large surfaces such as walls, ceilings, floors, decks and industrial structures like tilt slabs.

What Are The Main Benefits of Jumbo Paint Rollers:

Fast coverage on broad surfaces, large sleeves let you cover more area per paint load, reducing painting time. 

Ideal for use with fast drying products and paints with limited working time like epoxies and urethanes.

Choosing The Right Sleeve For Your Surface:

The range of jumbo sleeves has expanded over the last few years to allow for the best sleeve to be available for any application, the range now includes a variety of fabrics as well as nap sizes.

Microfibre - Great for applying water based paints including sealers, undercoats, ceiling flats, and all finishing coats on a wide range of smooth surfaces including plaster boards, plywood and MDF panels.

Dacron / Draylon - Optimised for heavy duty coatings, industrial epoxies, waterproofing membranes, 2 part urethanes, industrial floor and tilt slab finishes, also perfect for fast coverage on rough and textured surfaces.

Nylon Loop - Goop loop, textured finishes, great for non-slip applications on floors.

The sleeves are now available ranging in nap length from 5mm - 30mm+, so whether you need a smooth or lightly textured finish or a super heavy application we will have a sleeve for you.

Choosing The Correct Hardware

Roller Frames - Big Roller Sleeves Need A Yoke

A yoke frame is a heavy duty roller frame designed for jumbo roller sleeves, typically in the 350mm - 460 mm range. Unlike standard roller frames with thin wires or a single arm, yoke frames have a sturdy U-shaped metal structure that supports both ends of the sleeve - ideal for applying even pressure when painting with large sleeves.

Trays (& Buckets)

                                         

460mm trays are typically available with liners, making them the ideal choice for time critical and industrial paints. The liners are disposable (or reusable if you can clean them out) - they allow for quick paint changes without cross contamination.

If doing large production areas with standard water or solvent based paints a Bucket is a more efficient option, they hold up to 10 Litres of paint - less refilling and more painting.

Quick Tips For Best Results

User Fatigue: The 460mm sleeves although quicker are heavier and if painting walls or ceilings will fatigue you quicker than a standard roller set up.

Match Nap To Texture Application:

Super Smooth - low nap (5mm)

Semi Smooth - medium nap (10mm)

Textured / Porous = high nap (15–32 mm).
