Question 3

I'm painting both walls and trim. Do I need different types of brushes for these areas?

Accepted Answer

While you can use the same brush, switching will give you a much better finish because each area requires something different. A smaller, narrower, angled sash brush (typically 1-2 inches wide) is best for trim and detail work, allowing for more precision and cleaner lines along edges and corners. Wider brushes are better for quick coverage over larger wall areas.

Question 4

How do I choose the right brush head material?

Accepted Answer

Consider the type of paint and the surface. Natural bristle brushes hold more paint for a smooth finish, making them ideal for oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains. For water-based paints, latex, and acrylic, synthetic bristle brushes better resist water absorption and maintain stiffness. We offer a variety of brush head materials, such as nylon/polyester blend, natural, and natural/synthetic blend to help you achieve better paint application, brush longevity, and long-lasting results.

Question 5

What are flagged or split-end bristles?

Accepted Answer

Flagged or split-end bristles are intentionally split into multiple fine ends to trap and hold more paint and release it smoothly, resulting in fewer brush streaks, marks, and strokes. Use a brush with flagged bristles for a smooth application with better coverage and a more even finish, especially when working with latex paints. This feature is particularly helpful for achieving a professional-looking result on larger surfaces.
