  • The Purdy Colossus Sleeve is a high-capacity roller cover designed for maximum productivity and superior coverage, especially on large-scale painting projects. Crafted for professional decorators and serious DIYers, it excels at handling heavy-bodied paints and covering extensive surfaces with fewer reloads, making it an ideal choice when speed and efficiency are critical.
  • This roller sleeve is constructed using high-density woven fabric that holds more paint than standard sleeves while reducing spatter and dripping, which helps keep worksites clean and minimises waste. Its lightweight yet durable design ensures comfort and longevity during long work sessions. A tapered end reduces the chance of tram lines, ensuring a smoother, more even finish across walls, ceilings, and other surfaces.
  • The Purdy Colossus Sleeve is compatible with all standard roller frames and is available in multiple widths and nap sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of surfaces—from smooth drywall to rough masonry.

  • 1" nap and above – Very rough surfaces (e.g., stucco, masonry)
  • Q6: Will it leave tram lines on the wall?
