The Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is a premium decorating tool engineered for efficient, high-quality application of water-based emulsions across smooth and semi-smooth surfaces. Ideal for newly plastered walls, older painted finishes, and lightly textured substrates, this roller features Harris’ advanced Powercoat fabric, which delivers up to 30% more coverage than standard Harris sleeves. The densely woven fibres are designed to hold a greater volume of paint while maintaining a smooth, even release, helping to reduce visible roller marks and eliminate patchiness. This not only improves finish quality but also cuts down on application time, making it a reliable choice for decorators handling large interior spaces.
The roller sleeve incorporates splatter control technology, which minimises mess during use by significantly reducing airborne spray—particularly valuable when painting overhead or near trim. The included extendable frame enhances practicality by offering additional reach, eliminating the need for step ladders when tackling high ceilings or tall wall sections. It locks securely into place to ensure a stable, fatigue-free rolling motion, even during prolonged use. Suitable for all water-based emulsions, including specialist products such as Anti-Mould and Anti-Condensation Coatings, the Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is built for both performance and durability. Its thoughtful construction and ergonomic advantages make it ideal for professionals and serious DIY users seeking an efficient, clean, and consistent decorating experience.
Superior Coverage: The Powercoat sleeve delivers up to 30% more coverage compared to traditional Harris roller sleeves, allowing for faster, more efficient painting with fewer dips in the paint tray.
Splatter Control: Integrated splatter control technology reduces paint spray during use, leading to a cleaner finish and less time spent on post-job clean-up.

Even Paint Distribution: The high-quality sleeve material ensures consistent paint release and an ultra-smooth finish on both smooth and semi-smooth surfaces.
Durable Construction: Designed for repeated use, the roller frame and sleeve are built to withstand regular cleaning and wear, maintaining performance over time.
Newly Plastered Walls: Perfect for applying emulsion to fresh plaster where a smooth, even coating is essential for long-lasting finish results.
Older Plasterwork: Suitable for semi-smooth walls that may have imperfections or light texture, delivering a consistent coat over variable surfaces.
Previously Painted Walls: Ideal for re-coating interior walls with emulsion paint, including those with existing colour or patch repairs.
Ceilings: The extendable frame and splatter control make this roller particularly effective for high ceilings, minimising drips and allowing for fast, even application.
Un-Even or Semi-Smooth Surfaces: Designed to handle surfaces such as lightly textured walls or slightly rough plaster with ease, ensuring good coverage without overloading.
The Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame has been purposefully engineered for use on smooth and semi-smooth internal surfaces. It is particularly effective on newly plastered walls, aged or repaired plaster surfaces, un-even or lightly textured walls, and ceilings.
The roller is compatible with all water-based emulsion paints and is suitable for both standard decorating work and the application of specialist interior coatings, including Anti-Mould paints and Anti-Condensation Emulsions.
Before beginning application, it is essential to prepare the surface to ensure the best possible finish. All walls and ceilings should be clean, dry and free from loose material, dust, grease, or old flaking paint. Where necessary, fill any holes or cracks and allow filler to cure completely. Lightly sand any rough patches to create a consistent surface.
For newly plastered walls, ensure they are fully dry and primed with a mist coat before applying the emulsion paint. Proper surface preparation improves paint adhesion and promotes a uniform, professional result.
Prior to use, rinse the roller sleeve in clean water to remove any loose fibres that may affect the finish. Load the roller evenly with emulsion paint, ensuring the sleeve is fully but not excessively coated. Apply the paint in a ‘W’ or ‘M’ pattern to distribute it evenly, then work the roller back and forth to cover the area in smooth, overlapping strokes.
The extendable frame is suited for higher walls or ceilings, providing greater reach without the need for ladders. For best results, work in sections and maintain a wet edge to prevent roller marks or uneven drying.
After use with water-based paints, remove as much excess paint as possible using a Harris Multi-Tool or equivalent. Wash the roller sleeve thoroughly in warm soapy water until all residual paint is removed. Scrape the sleeve gently with the Multi-Tool to extract embedded paint from the fibres.
Rinse under clean running water until the water runs clear. The frame should also be wiped down to remove any paint splashes or residue. Always allow the roller sleeve to dry in an upright position, ensuring the fibres dry evenly and maintain their shape for future use.
Proper aftercare will significantly extend the lifespan and performance of the roller. Once cleaned and dry, store the sleeve in a clean, dry environment to prevent damage or contamination.
Avoid compressing the fibres, and never store the roller while wet or damp, as this may lead to mildew, odours, or fibre damage. Periodic inspection of the roller frame is advised to ensure the mechanism remains secure and free from paint build-up that could impair rotation.
The Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is designed for use exclusively with emulsion paints and should not be used with solvent-based coatings. It forms part of the Harris Ultimate decorating range, developed to provide high coverage, minimal splatter, and a smooth professional-grade finish.
Always refer to the paint manufacturer’s instructions before application to confirm compatibility and drying times. For optimal coverage and efficiency, pair with a quality paint tray and additional accessories such as edging tools or angled brushes for corners and trim work.

A) The Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame outperforms standard rollers in several key areas. First, the Powercoat sleeve holds up to 30% more paint than typical Harris rollers, allowing for more surface coverage with each load and reducing downtime spent reloading. The fabric is engineered for even paint release, helping to avoid roller marks and ensuring a more consistent finish. Splatter control technology minimises the amount of paint flicked during use, a common issue with standard rollers, especially when working overhead. Additionally, the integrated extendable frame allows for easy adjustment in reach, meaning you can paint high walls and ceilings without relying on ladders. This provides improved safety, comfort, and convenience. The combined features make the Harris Ultimate system far more efficient, cleaner, and professional in its results compared to basic roller sets.
A) Applying paint with the Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is straightforward and delivers high-quality results when done correctly. First, rinse the roller sleeve in clean water before use to remove any loose fibres. Attach the sleeve securely to the frame and ensure the extendable handle is locked in position if needed. Load the roller by rolling it evenly through a paint tray filled with emulsion paint until the sleeve is uniformly coated. Apply the paint using a ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion to distribute it evenly across the wall or ceiling, then go over the area in straight, overlapping strokes to smooth out the finish. Always maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks. The roller’s medium pile and splatter control allow for smooth, even coverage across large areas with minimal mess. Adjust the extendable frame as required to reach high or awkward areas without compromising on comfort or control.
A) The Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is specifically designed for use with water-based emulsion paints. It is compatible with all standard emulsions, including matt, silk, and eggshell finishes, making it suitable for most interior decorating tasks. It is also ideal for use with specialist coatings such as Anti-Mould and Anti-Condensation Paints, commonly used in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens. However, it is not intended for use with solvent-based or oil-based paints, as these can degrade the roller sleeve and affect performance. Always follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions regarding application methods, drying times, and surface preparation to ensure the best results. Pairing the roller with appropriate coatings will help you achieve a long-lasting, high-quality finish on walls and ceilings.
A) Cleaning the Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame properly is essential to maintain its performance and extend its lifespan. Start by removing as much paint as possible from the roller sleeve using a Harris Multi-Tool or by rolling excess paint out onto scrap cardboard or newspaper. Rinse the sleeve in warm soapy water, using the multi-tool to gently scrape embedded paint from the fibres. Rinse under clean running water until the water runs clear. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the roller material. Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth to remove any paint residue or splashes. Always allow the roller sleeve to dry naturally in an upright position to prevent the fibres from becoming misshapen. Once dry, store it in a clean, dry place, ready for its next use.
A) Routine maintenance of the Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is straightforward and ensures the tool remains in excellent working condition. After each use, the roller sleeve should be cleaned thoroughly and left to dry completely before being stored. Never store the sleeve while damp, as this can lead to fibre damage or mildew. Inspect the roller sleeve occasionally for signs of wear or fibre compression, especially if used with textured surfaces or abrasive paints. The extendable frame should also be checked to ensure the locking mechanism remains secure and that the frame rotates smoothly without resistance. Clean any dried paint from the metal parts of the frame to prevent build-up that may affect performance. Proper storage in a dry, temperate environment will protect both the sleeve and the frame from moisture or dust contamination, helping to maintain consistent performance with every use.
A) While the Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is highly versatile and reliable, it does have a few limitations. It is designed specifically for water-based emulsion paints and is not suitable for use with solvent-based or oil-based coatings. Attempting to use it with incompatible paints can damage the roller fibres and compromise the finish. It is also best suited to smooth or semi-smooth surfaces—heavily textured substrates such as artex or coarse masonry may require a roller with a longer pile for optimal coverage. Additionally, while the roller sleeve is reusable, it must be cleaned thoroughly and dried correctly to prevent damage or degradation between uses. Finally, while the extendable frame offers excellent reach, it may not replace ladders or platforms in very high or awkward architectural spaces. However, within its intended scope, the product performs exceptionally well and offers an efficient, professional-quality solution for interior painting.
A) The Harris Ultimate Walls & Ceilings Powercoat Roller & Extendable Frame is ideal for both professional decorators and serious DIY users who demand efficiency, quality, and reliability. Its superior coverage, splatter control, and ergonomic design make it particularly valuable for users tackling large interior spaces, high ceilings, or problem areas requiring specialist emulsions. Professionals will appreciate the time-saving benefits and consistent finish, while homeowners will find it easy to use and more comfortable than standard rollers, especially when working overhead. Whether you’re redecorating a single room, repainting a full property, or undertaking a new build or renovation project, this tool delivers the performance needed to achieve flawless, long-lasting results with minimal fuss.
