9 - Paint Brushes - The Home Depot

Question 1

Does the handle material or shape matter for my painting project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, handle material, design, and shape matter for comfort and control. Select wood handles for a traditional, comfortable grip, plastic handles for a lightweight, water-resistant option, or ergonomic rubber handles for better grip and less hand fatigue during extended projects. The right shape and length of your paint brush handle can also help you reach different angles and apply even pressure for a better result.

Question 2

What's a good general brush type to use?

Accepted Answer

A synthetic bristle brush made from a nylon and polyester blend is durable, easy to clean, moisture-resistant, and compatible with water-based paints, making it a smart choice for most painting projects. A good quality synthetic brush with medium stiffness and bristle length is a versatile option, ideal for good coverage and a decent finish across a wide range of slightly textured surfaces. The Home Depot stocks many different brush types made for both general-purpose and specialty projects, such as all wall types and smooth brushes.
