Purdy White Dove P-X Roller Sleeve - 9" x 0.5" Nap, 1.75" Core

The Purdy White Dove P-X roller sleeve belongs to Purdy's Pro Extra core system, built around an oversized 1.75 inch internal core that carries noticeably more paint than a standard core sleeve. That means fewer reloads, less paint wasted in the frame, and a faster, more even coat on every wall. The White Dove range is woven from Dralon fibre, giving a dense, low lint pile that leaves a smooth, professional finish.

About This Size

This 9 inch sleeve carries a 0.5 inch, medium pile nap, a versatile option for lightly textured plaster, mist coated walls and most standard emulsion work. It fits any roller frame built for a 9 inch to 18 inch sleeve with a 1.75 inch core, including Purdy's own P-X frames.

How to Use

• Fit the sleeve fully onto a compatible 1.75 inch core roller frame or cage.
• Load the sleeve evenly in a paint tray, rolling it back and forth to work paint into the pile before applying to the wall.
• Apply paint in overlapping W shaped strokes, then finish with light, even passes in one direction for a uniform coat.
• Wash the sleeve out immediately after use with water for water based paints, or the correct solvent for oil based products, then leave it to dry fully before storing.

FAQs

Does the P-X core fit standard roller frames?
The 1.75 inch P-X core is a larger diameter than a standard core, so it needs a frame or cage built for that size, such as Purdy's own P-X range. Check your frame's core size before ordering to make sure it matches.

Are 9 inch roller sleeves compatible with all rollers?
Only with frames sized for 9 inch sleeves and the matching core diameter. A 9 inch P-X sleeve will not fit a mini roller frame or a standard core frame, so always match the sleeve width and core size to your frame before ordering.

What nap should I choose for a smooth wall?
A 0.5 inch nap is a good middle ground for most interior walls with light texture. For very smooth, freshly plastered or lined surfaces, a shorter 3/8 inch nap can give an even finer finish.
