First, and foremost, the better the quality of applicator tool - the easier the painting and the better the results. A quality brush will hold more paint, control dripping and spattering and apply paint more smoothly with minimal brush marks. A quality brush will give a long even release of paint, and the advantage, especially to a professional painter, of cut-ability (the ability to quickly and precisely strike a straight edge). Above all, a quality brush has durability which is measured in terms of bristle or filament shape and retention. Lesser quality brushes tend to lose filament shape quickly and lose filaments sooner.

Types of Filaments (Bristles):

Synthetic brushes can be used with all paints but are especially recommended for use with waterborne coatings (latex, acrylic). They perform well while painting smooth to rough surfaces and in hot or humid conditions. 

Natural bristled brushes are best used with oil-based paints, shellacs, varnishes, alkyd enamels, oil-based stains and polyurethanes. They are NOT recommended for latex/acrylic/waterborne paints because they will absorb water causing the bristle to become too soft for effective painting. Also, rough surfaces will damage the bristles on a naturally bristled brush. Synthetics last about 5 times longer on average. 

The most important part of the paintbrush is the working end. Performance is based on the engineering of the filament, which is invisible to the naked eye. The filament and how it is finished, or tipped, affects the feel of the brush and the finish the brush leaves. Quality synthetic brushes will have Tapered filaments. This helps paint flow for better coverage. They &#;pump the paint&#; out and down to the surface. It also gives shape to the brush for precise cutting in. If the brush is thick at the base but gets thinner as it comes to the point, then the brush is tapered. An un-tapered brush is thick from base to tip. A tapered brush will outperform an un-tapered brush. 

Types of Synthetic Brushes:

Nylon:  Softer synthetic filament. Very durable. Tips very precisely for a smooth finish. Lasts longer but will soften in hot weather or prolonged use.

Chinex:  Maintains stiffness for control. Resists heat/humidity.  Last 7 times longer than a natural bristle. Perfect balance of paint pick and release. Cleans easily.

Nylon/Polyester:  Combines the positive qualities of nylon and polyester filaments. Polyester used in short lengths to add stiffness and control. Nylon used in long lengths for precise tipping and smooth finish. Takes some time to clean. 

Polyester:  Does not absorb water, resists heat and softening. Does not last as long. Can&#;t be precisely tipped and tends to leave brush marks. Difficult to clean.

Types of Natural Brushes:

Black China Bristle: Stiffer natural bristled brush, excellent for high productivity. Perfect for alkyd enamels, varnish, brushing-lacquers, paints, and other coatings.

White China Bristle: Slightly thinner and softer than the black China bristle. Recommended for solvent-based stains, varnishes, marine coatings, and urethanes.

Degrees of Filament Stiffness

Many factors determine the type of brush that will provide the best results for the job-the paint being used, the environmental conditions, the surface itself, and user preference. Today&#;s manufacturers are making brushes in various blends, so the user can choose the feel they like the most.

Soft: Great for fine finish painting and interiors. Works best in low humidity and cooler temperatures. Extra flex and smoothness. Recommended for use with clears, stains, lightweight paints, fast-drying coatings.

Firm:  Designed for all-purpose interior/exterior painting. Just the right taper for even coverage. Stable touch with balanced flex. Recommended for use with most paints and primers especially acrylics and enamels. 

Extra Firm:  Durable for exterior use and rough surfaces. Sharp edge performs well in heat and humidity. Solid feel and superior stiffness. Recommended for use with thicker paints and primers especially low voc and other fast drying coatings.

Brush construction also plays a role in determining quality and price. Most professional brushes have wooden handles while consumer brushes typically have plastic handles. The professional handle is nailed in place (not just crimped) so it stays tight and firm under work-a-day conditions. The ferrule (metal band that serves to hold the bristle and handle together) is heavier, and usually non-rusting steel on the professional brushes. Most professional brushes also typically have the longer bristles. Most brushes (consumer and professional) have epoxy settings for the bristles. This is the best way anyone has found to keep the bristles in the brush.

Common Handle Styles

Standard:  Most common handle.

Thin rattail: Thinner version of a standard handle for extra control and lighter weight.

Wide Beavertail: Larger, thicker handle allows for a firm grip for good balance with larger brush heads.

Shortcut:  Compact handle for comfort and control especially in tight spaces.

Common Ferrules

Stainless Steel:  Professional quality, rust-resistant, very durable to help prevent denting, brushed finish.

Rust-resistant Steel:Professional quality, anti-corrosion, holds filament very securely, matte finish. 

Copper-coated Stainless Steel: Professional quality, rust resistant, bright copper finish for cosmetic appeal.

Brushed Steel: Semi-professional quality, allow coating, rust-resistant (but to a lesser degree), satin finish. 

Brass-plated Steel: Mid-line quality, enamel coating, durable, bright brass finish.

Tin-plated Steel: Economy Quality, bright finish.

Choosing the right Brush Size

Angle Sash is the most used brush. The angled end provides added control while edging, especially on vertical surfaces like around windows and doors. They are great for &#;cutting in&#; around trim and into corners. A thin angle sash is narrower and lighter for precise lines and small areas where added precision is necessary. AFlat Sashis designed with a straight end. This is useful when painting baseboards, moldings, or horizontal surfaces.

1&#; to 1.5&#; angle or flat sash: Hobbies and crafts. Window mullions. Tight corners and very detailed areas.

2&#; to 2.5&#; to 3&#; angle sash: Window frames, casings, door moldings, cutting in edges of walls and ceilings.

2&#; to 2.5&#; flat sash: Baseboards, cabinets, furniture, moldings, railings, shutters, gutters.

3&#; to 4&#; flat sash: Exterior siding, masonry, decks, fences, stairs, walls, ceilings, doors.

Tips on Brush Use:

Before starting to paint with a brush, work the bristles back and forth with your fingers to remove any loose bristles or dirt. Prepare the brush for painting by dipping the filaments only halfway into the paint. When the brush is full of paint, tap gently on the sides of the can to release excess paint. This assures maximum pick-up and transfer to the surface. Hold the brush properly by placing your fingers on the ferrule to help steady your hand. The handle should rest comfortably between the thumb and forefinger. Apply paint with the tips of the brush and not the sides. Every so often slap both sides of the brush against an unpainted area to release paint which has accumulated in the top of the brush. This will keep the brush from "fingering". Paint with steady even strokes lifting the brush gradually at the end of the stroke. Don't use the brush to stir the paint - a paint mixing stick does a better job and you don't want the brush to get overloaded with paint. Always clean the brush immediately after use. When storing the brush, avoid standing it on its bristle tips as the weight will cause the edge to bend and curl. If possible, put the brush back into its original package and store the brush hanging up.

When you pick the paint colors, make positive you recognize if they're water-based or oil-based so that you are aware of if an herbal or an artificial brush will be the proper one for you.

As we all know, Brush handle styles play a very important role in paint brush. So that, paint-brushes for use in non-artistic trade painting are geared to applying an even coat of paint to relatively large areas.

Start by thinking about how you want the finished project to look and remember that you&#;re not limited to four walls or an entire room in the same color. Consider painting an accent wall in a bold hue or highlighting moldings in a contrasting shade or finish. And we don&#;t forget to look up and see whether the ceiling could use a refresh as well.

Figuring out the general color characteristics: Do you want a warm or cool shade? Neutral or saturated? If you have existing furniture or art, you&#;ll also want to consider how the shade will complement them. Once you have a sense of what you&#;re looking for, pick a few shades and get samples. And test the colors to see how they look in the room at different times of day. Many paint companies also have tools on their websites that will let you upload a photo of your space and preview different colors on the walls. But colors can look different in real-world conditions, so you&#;ll still need to try it out in the space.

Whether you&#;re painting a powder room or the exterior of your house, the general rule of thumb is one gallon per 400 square feet. But that is just a rough guideline: To get a more precise number, which you&#;ll definitely want for large projects, use a paint calculator like the ones provided by Benjamin Moore or Pratt & Lambert; they take into account window and door measurements, both assume two coats of paint per project.

Planning on whitewashing a charcoal gray wall? You&#;ll likely need additional paint when going from dark to light. On the other end of the spectrum, a deep color base tends to require more coats of paint than a lighter color. We recommend applying a gray-tinted primer to the surface before you paint your walls a saturated color to help reduce the number of applications.

When it comes to finish, you may have heard that the glossier it is, the higher the coverage rate, but it&#;s not enough of a difference to change the number of gallons you need to buy. If you&#;re painting a highly textured surface rather than a smooth one, buy a little extra.

You don&#;t want to damage your favorite sofa or that heirloom Grandma gave you, so empty the room of all the furniture. If you don&#;t have enough space to relocate everything you own, push it all to the center of the room. Cover the pieces with a drop cloth or lightweight plastic sheeting and do the same with the floor, as well as any cabinetry or countertops that might be in danger of excess splatter.

The amount of time your project will take depends on the size of your room, how you&#;re painting, and your skill level. For instance, using a dark shade on the walls and painting the ceiling and trim will take longer than just doing the walls in a neutral color. While some spaces can be done in a few hours, others may take several days. Be sure to budget more time than you think the job will need and don&#;t forget to take prep and cleanup into account.

What Makes a Great Paint Brush?

Paint brushes are made of different materials and come in various shapes and sizes to suit specific products and tasks. Here&#;s how to determine what&#;s right for your job.

1: Material

Brush bristles come in two major categories: natural, which are recommended for oil-based paints, and synthetic, which are best for water-based paints.

Natural brushes are made of animal hair, like hog or badger&#;fibers with microscopic splits that hold more product to create a smooth finish. Choose a natural-bristle brush when applying oil-based paints and top coats, varnishes, shellac, decorative chalk paint (for an antique look), enamel, and polyurethane. You&#;ll also get good results using a round, natural bristle brush to apply furniture wax.

A synthetic brush made of high-quality polyester or a blend of nylon and polyester is better suited to latex (water-based) paint because natural bristles soak up water, becoming limp and less effective. Low- and no-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints, most of which are acrylic latex based, are also best applied with a synthetic brush. Both natural and synthetic brushes can last for years if cleaned and dried thoroughly after every use: Remove excess paint, wash with soapy water, rinse in fresh water, and let it dry on a flat surface.

2: Size

Paint brushes for house painting typically come in sizes ranging from 1 to 6 inches. Generally speaking, the tighter the area you&#;re painting, the smaller the brush should be. A 1- to 2½-inch brush is best for window areas, trim, and corners. A 3-inch brush works best for doors, cabinets, and shelving, and a 4- to 6-inch brush is designed for large, flat areas, like walls and ceilings.

3: Style

There are three main styles of paint brush, each designed for a different purpose and surface area:

Square cut: A 4- to 6-inch square-cut wall brush is ideal for large, flat surfaces, both interior and exterior. Use a large wall brush for painting walls, flat doors, and siding. With a good-quality wall brush, you won&#;t need rollers&#;and you may even save on paint because brushes are more precise.

Angle sash: This brush was designed to paint window sashes, which fit inside the window frame and allow the panes to move up and down. That said, this short-handled, angled brush is excellent for a variety of detail work because it&#;s easy to maneuver and offers great stability. Use it for painting grooves, panels, edges, and corners&#;and to reach around obstacles, like behind a toilet.

Round sash: These smaller brushes come in a range of sizes from 20 to 40 mm. They are the best paint brushes for decorative painting (like faux finishes) and furniture, like chair and table legs, because the circular arrangement of bristles is conducive to 3D painting.

4: Quality

A top-quality brush offers smoother, fuller coverage and a perfect finish, and while pricey&#;depending on brush size and bristle material&#;it maybe can last up to 20 years. &#;Flagged&#; bristles&#;slightly split at the ends&#;hold more paint and provide the best coverage. Flex bristle tips to ensure they spring back into shape.

Bristles should also be shorter on the outside and longer toward the center, creating precision and control. Finally, bristles should be 50 percent longer than the width of the brush itself to pick up the ideal amount of paint while providing maximum coverage and control.

How to Choose Paint Brushes for your DIY Home Projects

Paint Brush Material:

The bristles of the brush could be either natural or synthetic. A natural brush has bristles made from badger or hog hair. This is the best paint brush for walls when you&#;re using oil-based paints, varnishes, top coats, decorative chalk paint, shellac, polyurethane, and enamel. The natural brush has microscopic divisions that hold more paint and results in a smoother finish.

On the other hand, a synthetic brush has bristles of nylon and polyester combination or top-quality polyester only. It&#;s suitable when you are using water-based paints as these will not soak up the water like natural brushes. Acrylic latex paints that have low or zero volatile organic compounds can be applied properly with a synthetic brush.

Paint Brush Quality:

There are a few ways of checking the quality of a paintbrush for walls besides the obvious price point. Bristles that have slightly split ends or flagged are good for holding more paint and achieving a fuller coverage. The bristles should also come back to their shape as a sign of good quality when you flex their tips.

Check if the bristles are shorter on the outer part and longer toward the center. This ensures you have more control and accuracy when painting walls. For the same reason, you should check if the bristles are 50% longer than the width of the brush to enable you to pick the right amount of paint.

Paint Brush Size:

The size of the paintbrush ranges from one to six inches. For tight spaces, you should choose a smaller brush to enable you to achieve control and accuracy.

For corners, trims, and windows, pick a brush that&#;s between one and two-and-a-half inches. For shelves, cabinets, and doors, a brush that&#;s three inches is ideal. Pick one that has a size between four to six inches for walls, ceilings, and other flat areas.

Paint Brush Style:

Paintbrushes for walls have a square cut style. They usually come in the size of four to six inches and are ideal for painting flat surfaces like siding, walls, ceilings, and flat doors. For painting detailed work, grooves, corners, window sashes, and edges, pick an angle sash style of the paintbrush as these have short handles and their angled style helps to reach difficult parts.

Paint brushes with a round sash style are not ideal for walls. They are ideal for decorative painting on furniture legs as they come in sizes of 20 to 40 millimeters and their bristles are arranged in a circular design.

The Handle of Paint Brushes:

It&#;s also important to check the handle of the paintbrush as it will determine how comfortable it would be for you to do the painting job. A long handle is preferred as it allows you to hold the brush any way you want.

Types Of Paint Brushes For home:

The types of paint brushes for home can be categorized according to the style, the material of the bristles, size, and the type of the bristle ends. Let&#;s look into the details of each.

Natural And Synthetic:

The basic dichotomy of paintbrushes is whether they are natural or synthetic. Natural brushes are made from the hair of animals and they naturally have split ends that help to hold oil-based paints better.

Animal hair absorbs water and becomes limp, losing their shape and hence not fit for latex paints. Synthetic brushes are made from either polyester or a blend of nylon and polyester. These are better suited for latex or water-based paints as they hold their shape.

Paint Brush Style:

There are a few brush styles with which the types of paint brushes can be differentiated. The wall style refers to a thick and flat brush that can hold a lot of paint and is perfect for large surfaces. Paint brush with a thin profile and slanted bristles is a thin angle brush that works well for corners and edges that require a thin, straight line.

For exterior siding, you can use a trim style of a brush that&#;s useful for painting large and flat surfaces. Flat sash type of a paint brush is used in flat areas and it has straight bristles. For painting trims and ceiling corners, there is the angle sash type that holds more paint than the thin angle brush.

Brush Size:

Brush sizes that range from an inch to two inches long are good for small trims and windows. 3-inch sizes are ideal for cabinet and door painting. Those with a 4 -inch size make the best paint brushes for walls and large surfaces.
