Embarking upon a painting project can be exciting and challenging at the same time. You may have your colors picked out, but do you know the types of paint brushes to use for your ceilings, walls, and other surface areas? At Pro Roller Company, we offer an array of effective paint brushes and rollers for various painting applications.
The various types of paint brushes used for painting projects include:
Small Paint Brushes: Ideal for painting tight areas and range from 1 to 2-1/2 inches in size.
Medium Sized Paint Brushes: Sized at 3 inches, they are ideal for painting walls, cabinets, shelving, and doors.
Large Paint Brushes: Ideal for painting walls, ceilings, and other large areas. They range from 4 to 6 inches in size.
Square Cut Paint Brushes: With square-cut bristles, these brushes are ideal for flat surfaces, such as walls, paneling, siding, and flat doors.
Natural Paint Brushes: Made from animal hair, they tend to provide a smoother finish. They should be used with oil-based paint, topcoats, polyurethane, varnish, shellac, decorative chalk paint, or enamel. They should not be used with water-based paints.
Synthetic Paint Brushes: Made from top quality polyester or polyester/nylon blend. They should be used with water-based paints and acrylic latex-based paint (e.g., low and no-VOC paints).
Round Sash Paint Brushes: Range from 20-44 mm in size and have tapered, blunt ends. Ideal for decorative painting, furniture painting, small trim painting, and faux finishes.
Angle Sash Paint Brushes: Feature bristles cut on a sharp slant, creating clean cut lines. Great for detail work, i.e., edges, windows, molding, corners, and grooves.
Finishing Paint Brushes: Feature very soft ox hair bristles for a smooth finish. Ideal for kitchen cabinet doors and banisters.
Flagged-Bristle Paint Brushes: Feature bristles that are split at the ends, allowing them to hold more paint and provide greater coverage per application. These brushes release paint smoothly for a clean finish.
Stencil Paint Brushes: Designed for stencil work on walls, these brushes have more bristles packed together.
Foam Paint Brushes: Designed to be used with paint, urethane, and stains, these brushes produce a smooth finish on furniture, trim work, and cabinetry.
