Q: 
What is NAP?
A:
NAP, or pile height, refers to the length of the fibers on a roller cover. It is an important consideration when choosing a roller cover, as it determines how much paint it can hold and how much texture it can create on the surface being painted.

Q: How do we choose roller cover by different NAP?
A: 

3/8" (10MM) NAP: Slightly textured surfaces such as drywall, ceiling and floor.

1/2" (12MM) NAP: Semi-rough surfaces such as textured walls, ceilings, exterior stucco or concrete.

3/4" (20MM) NAP: Rough surfaces such as bricks, rough wood siding and popcorn ceilings.


Q: How can we avoid leaving fabircs on the painted surface?

A:


1. Prepare your roller cover before use as shown above.

2. When painting, use a light touch and avoid pressing too hard on the roller. It prevents fibers from being dislodged.

3. Stop painting when fibrics are found, remove them immediately.
