Academy Furpile Roller Group

The Academy Furpile Roller is the “all-rounder” workhorse of the painting world. It is a long-pile fabric roller designed specifically for applying water-based paints (PVA) to rough or uneven surfaces.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Paint Loading: The “furry” pile is designed to hold a large volume of paint, meaning you spend less time dipping into the tray and more time painting.
• Deep Coverage: The long fibers are excellent at reaching into the pits and crevices of textured surfaces like brickwork or rough-cast plaster.
• Durability: Built to withstand the friction of abrasive exterior walls without tearing, unlike foam or short-pile rollers.
• Versatility: While it’s the king of rough walls, it is also frequently used for ceiling applications because the high absorbency helps reduce dripping.

Best Applications

• Textured Walls: Ideal for Tyrolean, bagged, or scratch-plaster finishes.
• Exterior Masonry: Perfect for boundary walls and house exteriors.
• Ceilings: Great for getting a thick coat of ceiling white onto standard gypsum or concrete ceilings.
• Paint Type: Best used with Matte or Sheen Acrylic PVAs.
