ProDec’s most popular trade roller in a ready-to-go kit. Two Tiger stripe woven rollers, cage frame and recycled plastic tray. The 12mm medium pile works well with emulsion and masonry paint on smooth to semi-smooth surfaces.
The ProDec 9 inch Tiger 4 piece roller set is one of those kits that earns its place on the van shelf. Two rollers, a cage frame and a tray — everything you need to get straight into a room without hunting around for bits. The Tiger stripe roller has been ProDec’s best-selling emulsion roller with the trade for years, and there’s a reason it keeps getting reordered. It just works.
The fabric is machine woven rather than cut, which gives each fibre a double anchor point in the backing. That means less lint on your finished surface and a sleeve that holds together wash after wash. At 12mm pile, it sits in the sweet spot for most decorating work — enough depth to carry a good load of paint without dumping it all in one pass, and enough control to lay off cleanly. You get even coverage without the splatter that comes off a longer pile.
Where the ProDec Tiger Roller Set Gets Used
This is a set built for interior walls and ceilings. Plaster, drywall, plasterboard, painted brick — anywhere the surface is smooth or semi-smooth, the medium pile handles it well. It’s equally at home with standard emulsions and masonry paint, so if you’re rolling out a utility room or a rendered internal wall, the same sleeve does the job.
The Frame and Tray
The cage frame is the hardwearing type with a screw-fit handle end, so it takes a standard extension pole without any fuss. Painting ceilings without a ladder is one of those small wins that adds up over a long day. The tray is moulded from 100% recycled plastic — solid enough for a full day’s work and worth noting if your client asks about sustainability.
For the price, the ProDec 9 inch Tiger 4 piece roller set is difficult to argue with. Two sleeves straight out of the packaging, a decent frame, and a tray that won’t flex and dump paint on the floor. Straightforward trade kit that does exactly what it should.
Pro Tip: When washing out the Tiger sleeve between coats, work the roller firmly against the bottom of a bucket rather than just running water over it — the woven backing releases trapped pigment much faster this way and the sleeve dries out quicker for reuse.
This roller set is aimed squarely at interior decorating work. It covers walls and ceilings on domestic and light commercial jobs, handling smooth plaster, plasterboard, drywall and painted brick without issue. The medium pile suits both standard vinyl emulsion and masonry paint, making it a practical choice for rooms, hallways, stairwells and utility spaces where surfaces vary slightly in texture but nothing demands a specialist sleeve.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for heavily textured or rough surfaces such as pebbledash or coarse render, where a longer pile sleeve would be needed. The medium pile is also not intended for gloss, satinwood or solvent-based paints.
Fit one of the Tiger sleeves onto the cage frame, load the tray with paint and use the ribbed section to work the sleeve evenly before applying to the wall. Start with a light loaded roller to avoid heavy lines at the edges, then work in overlapping passes with consistent pressure for an even finish. The second sleeve in the pack means you can switch quickly if you're working through a large area without stopping to wash out mid-job.
Fit a Tiger roller sleeve firmly onto the cage frame until it seats without play
Pour paint into the deep end of the tray — no more than a third full to avoid spills when loading
Roll the sleeve back and forth over the ribbed ramp to distribute paint evenly across the pile
Apply to the wall in a W or M pattern first to spread paint, then fill in with parallel strokes
Maintain consistent pressure throughout — the woven pile is designed to carry paint without needing to bear down hard
For ceilings, attach an extension pole to the screw-fit handle end before starting
Wash the sleeve thoroughly after use, working paint out from the backing with firm pressure against a bucket wall
Can I use the Tiger roller sleeve with masonry paint as well as emulsion?
Yes. The 12mm medium pile handles both standard emulsion and masonry paint on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces. For rough external render or pebbledash you would want a longer pile sleeve, but for interior brick or block painted with masonry paint, this sleeve is fine.
Does the frame fit standard extension poles?
The cage frame has a screw-fit handle that takes a standard threaded extension pole. Most decorating extension poles sold in the UK use the same thread, so compatibility is not usually an issue.
The Tiger sleeve uses a machine woven synthetic fabric construction where individual fibres are double-anchored into the backing, reducing lint shed compared to cut-pile alternatives. The 12mm pile depth is calibrated for moderate paint pick-up and controlled release, suiting water-based emulsions and masonry coatings. The cage frame is made from hardwearing plastic with a standard screw-thread fitting. The tray is manufactured from 100% recycled plastic.
