Eco 9" Paint roller sleeve, mid pile - Licktools Roller Sleeve (x1)

A 9" eco roller sleeve for walls, ceilings, and bigger decorating jobs.

This is the one I would use for most normal wall painting. It is a mid pile sleeve, so it sits in that useful middle ground. Not too short, not too fluffy. It holds a good amount of paint, gives decent coverage, and works well on smooth to semi-smooth walls.

I use this with the 9" bamboo handled roller frame, and find it gives a nice even finish with our main wall paints. It feels like a proper sleeve, not a flimsy version that makes the job harder. You still get good paint pick-up, low splatter, and it does not shed fibres all over the wall, which is the bit that really matters once you are actually painting.

The core is made from recycled plastic, and the sleeve uses a recycled polyester mid pile nap. So it is a better choice than a standard throwaway roller sleeve made from virgin plastic for sure.

Best for walls, ceilings, larger flat areas, and general emulsion work. If you are painting a whole room, this is the sleeve I would reach for first.

Useful bits to go with this.

If you are painting walls or ceilings, it is worth having the right tray, roller frame, and sleeves together. The paint tray set is the easiest starting point if you want everything in one go.

For bigger areas, use the 9" mid pile roller sleeves. They are best for main walls, ceilings, and larger flat sections where you want to cover the surface quickly and evenly.

For smaller areas, awkward corners, furniture, panelling, and trim, the 4" mid pile roller sleeves are really handy. They give you a roller finish in places where a 9" roller feels too big.

The 2.5L paint kettle is also useful for cutting in, touching up, or moving around the room without carrying a full tin of paint. Pour a sensible amount in, use what you need, then put any leftover paint back in the tin.
