Manual Rollers
Manual rollers are the most typical type of paint roller. These rollers are typically used to work with paint to walls and ceilings and, as such, have handles that feature connectors for handle extensions. Due to the size of their handles, manual rollers are particularly useful in painting high surfaces. In fact, if the handle is long enough, you can paint a ceiling with a manual roller without having to use a ladder.

Pad Rollers
Pad rollers are an efficient tool for painting trim or edging. These unique rollers utilize a highly absorbent, flat pad to apply paint in straight, even strokes. They feature small wheels along their edges that help keep the paint application nice and straight. Whereas other types of rollers have a tendency to splatter paint as a result of the circular motion by which they operate, pad rollers are able to lie flat on surfaces, nearly eliminating splattered and dripped paint. For their flatness, pad rollers usually hold paint superior to other styles of rollers and are the best paint rollers to make use of when painting an individual surface several color.

Textured Rollers
Textured rollers are specifically designed to paint a texture onto a surface. These rollers feature special foam covers that contain certain patterns etched into them to permit the paint to travel into the wall in a certain way, like a faux finish. There are rollers that simulate wood grain, brick, stone, tile, and a great many other patterns. Like manual rollers, textured rollers are suitable for use on large surfaces, like walls and ceilings.

Specialty Rollers
Textured paints, like suede, stone, and light plasters, usually have a specialty roller the paint manufacturer wants you to use to apply their product. They typically don’t produce as much paint splatter. As many texture paints have a very heavy consistency, these rollers have a tendency to be quite absorbent.
