They allow you to impart a thin layer of paint in even strokes, meaning less likelihood of bubbles or mistakes. This means that the coat of paint in question will dry faster, allowing you to get on with a second if needed and pleasingly, finishing the whole project in a timely manner.

Rollers are also crucial if you’re painting tall walls or ceilings, allowing you to extend the handle and get the paint up without balancing precariously on Michelangelo.
