Types of Paint Brushes

There are a number of different brushes and other painting tools. They vary greatly depending on their size, material and shape, etc. You must have noticed that most professional painters carry around dozens of brushes and use a different one on different places. This is the secret to their flawless finish. In order to achieve this perfection, you must also first understand the different types of brushes and sprayers available in supply stores. Let’s get started with a brief overview.

Paint Brushes – Paint brushes differ on the basis of their size, shape and bristles. Common types of brushes include:

• Wall brushes
• Flat brushes
• Flat trim brushes
• Angular trim brushes
• Oval Sash brushes

Bristles – Bristles of the brushes can either be natural or synthetic. Natural bristles are expensive but they guarantee quality and best results. The most popular type of natural hair brushes are the Chinese hog brushes.

However, carefully chosen synthetic bristle brushes can imitate the same result as well. Synthetic bristles can be made up of the following materials.

• Nylon
• Polyester

Other Supplies

Other useful paint supplies available at our paint supply store in St Louis include:

Paint Sprayers – Paint sprayers paint extremely fast and cover even and uneven surfaces with equal efficiency. However, due to their speed and pressure, they are best handled by professionals.

Paint Rollers – Paint rollers are good alternatives to brushes, especially when painting very large areas and high walls. However, they may not reach small corners as efficiently as brushes.

Paint Pads – Paint pads allow for quick and even application of paint while easily reaching the corners. They are the best tools for artistically painted walls with several colors. Like brushes, paint pads also come in different sizes and types.
