Eco 4" Paint roller sleeves, mid pile - Licktools Roller Sleeve (x4 pack)

A pack of 4" eco roller sleeves for the smaller bits that still need a roller finish.

These are the sleeves I would use when a 9" roller is too big and a brush would leave too many marks. Around windows, behind radiators, inside cupboards, on panelling, narrow walls, shelves, alcoves, furniture, and those annoying little sections where a big roller just feels clumsy.

I use these with the 4" bamboo handled roller frame, and find they make the fiddly parts of a job much easier. You still get that rolled texture, rather than a brushed edge sitting next to a rolled wall. That matters more than people think, especially when the light hits the wall from the side.

The mid pile is a good everyday choice. It holds enough paint to be useful, but it is not so fluffy that it feels messy. Good paint pick-up, low splatter, and no annoying bits of fibre getting left behind in the finish.

The pack of four is handy too. Use one for your main wall colour, one for a primer, one for a darker colour, and keep one spare. Much better than washing out the same sleeve halfway through a job because you suddenly need to do a different colour.

The core is made from recycled plastic, with a recycled polyester mid pile nap. So it is a more considered choice than a standard roller sleeve, but it still does the job properly. That is the important bit.
