Microfibre works differently to other roller fabrics: it absorbs the paint inside the fibres, instead of the paint just sitting between the fibres, meaning that it both loads more smoothly and releases the paint more evenly throughout the stroke, requiring less working out and increasing your painting efficiency. In practice, you should find that the roller doesn't just dump the paint onto the surface at the start of the stroke, it should release it gradually as you paint. Microfibre is also the softest painting fabric, which gives it a very light touch and means less roller texture in the paint film, also known as mottle with emulsion paints and often seen with other fabrics. The 12mm (0.5") medium pile is suitable for interior emulsion paints (eg. matt, silk, eggshell) and woodstains on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall, ceilings (including light to medium textured plasters such as artex) and smooth planed wood. Whilst the 12mm pile isn't suitable for gloss and satin paints, ProDec microfibre is also available in 6mm (0.25") short pile which puts down less paint (for similar emulsion colours only not substantial colour changes) and gives you the smoothest of finishes - making it also ideal for gloss, satin and woodstains.
