Getting The Roller Cover Specification Right First

Most roller complaints trace back to a specification that was never written down. This is how we avoid that.

Stage By Stage

From Surface To Signed Sample

Six steps, each producing something written. Nothing moves to the next stage on a verbal agreement.

  1. Define The Surface

    A cover is chosen for a wall, not for a catalogue.

    Tell us the surfaces your market paints most and the finish they expect. That decides nap before anything else.

  2. Choose The Fabric

    Acrylic, polyester and foam behave differently in the same paint.

    We set out how each fabric loads, releases and cleans in your paint system so the choice is made on behaviour.

  3. Fix The Frame System

    Cage and push-in frames are not interchangeable.

    We confirm which frame system your market owns and build the cover core to suit it.

  4. Agree The Grading Marks

    Stripe colours are how a shelf explains itself.

    Stripe colours are matched to your existing system or designed with you, then written into the specification.

  5. Approve A Physical Sample

    A drawing cannot show pile density.

    You get a physical sample of every line. Sign it and it becomes the reference for production.

  6. Lock It For Reorders

    Quiet improvements are how ranges drift.

    The signed sample is held as the standard. If anything has to change we tell you in writing before it does.

What You End Up Holding

Answers

Custom Roller Cover Specification FAQ

How long does a specification round take?

It depends on how many lines and how many sample cycles. We give you a written date per stage rather than a single optimistic number.

Can you work from a competitor sample?

Yes. Send the sample and we will tell you honestly what we can match and what we cannot.

Do you charge for samples?

Sample and courier costs are confirmed with the quotation. They are usually modest and are often credited against a first order.

What happens if a material becomes unavailable?

We tell you before we substitute anything and offer the nearest option with a sample, rather than changing the product quietly.

Can the specification cover packaging as well?

Yes, and it should. Print, hang tab and carton marks belong in the same written record as the cover itself.
