How To Choose The Right Paintbrush

Type of Coating: Water-Based

Latex paints are the most common type of paint on the market. Synthetic brushes are recommended for latex and acrylic paints and water-based wood finishes. Synthetic brushes are available in a variety of filaments including Chinex®, nylon, nylon/polyester blend and polyester. Chinex® and nylon brushes are designed for today&#;s paints and offer superior paint pick up and production with a smooth, professional finish and easy cleanup.

Chinex® brushes are the most durable and will maintain their stiffness for control even when exposed to heat and humidity. Nylon brushes are very durable but will soften in hot weather or after prolonged use in latex paint. Polyester brushes will maintain their shape and control when exposed to heat but have lower paint pick up and production meaning you will spend more time loading your brush. 

Also, today&#;s paints contain more acrylic resins and fast-drying solids which stick to polyester making them difficult to clean and limit the life of the brush. A nylon/polyester blend brush combines all the positive qualities of nylon (precise tipping, excellent paint pick up and smooth finish) and polyester (added stiffness and control) and is the most popular professional paintbrush choice due to their all-around versatility.

Paint Brush Sizes and Shapes

It&#;s important to match paint brush sizes with the shape and scope of your project. Most paint brushes for home projects have a width between 1 and 4 inches. Larger brushes, such as a thick and wide wall paint brush, hold more paint and can save time when working on big surfaces. Narrower paint brushes give you more control on areas that require more precision.

Most paint brush heads are available with straight cut or flat edge. Others have an angled edge and are known as angled sash brushes. Choosing an angle edge or flat brush is primarily a matter of preference, though angled paint brushes can be more effective when used on vertical surfaces.

2- to 2-1/2-inch (angled) - Window frames, casings, mouldings, cutting-in edges of walls and ceilings

2- to 2-1/2-inch (straight) - Baseboards, cabinets, furniture, stairs, railings, shutters, gutters

The shape of individual bristles can make a difference in the results of your painting project. The tips of synthetic filament are tapered, or flagged, to produce high-quality finishes. Tapered bristles help the paint flow for better coverage. This also gives shape to the brush to allow more precision when cutting-in along tight edges.
