Size Of Brush<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paint brushes can seem expensive and the selection a little overwhelming if you\u2019ve never shopped for them.  An important factor to consider when shopping for paint brushes is size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When searching for the best paint brush for interior painting, you\u2019ll typically find sizes from 1\u201d – 4\u201d wide. The 1\u201d and 2\u201d brushes are best for trim areas and windows.  A 3\u201d brush is good for doors and cabinets, and the 4\u201d size is good for larger, flat areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Style Of Brush<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next consideration for paint brush selection is style.  In the world of paintbrushes there are many to choose from!  There are sash brushes (angled, flat, and round); trim brushes; and foam brushes, just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sash Brushes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sash brushes come in angled, flat, and round shapes, and top the list of best paint brushes for interior painting.  The angled sash brushes<\/a> are great for painting trim or cutting in at the ceiling. Flat brushes<\/a> are typically used for painting flat areas.  And the round sash brushes<\/a> are primarily used for decorative or faux painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trim Brushes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another style of brush is a trim brush<\/a>.  Trim brushes are best suited for things like exterior siding or large flat surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foam Brushes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Foam brushes<\/a> are considered disposable.  They work well for oil-based paints, stains, and finishes, but can introduce bubbles into the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bristle Material<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A third very important thing to look for when choosing the best paint brush for interior painting is the bristle material.  Basically, paint brushes are made from synthetic, or natural bristles.  Synthetic bristle brushes<\/a> are best for water-based latex paints and are made from nylon, polyester, or a combination of the two.  Natural bristle brushes<\/a> are made from animal hair and are best at applying oil based paints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And finally, as far as brands of paint brushes are concerned, the best paint brushes for interior painting tend to be expensive.  Some top brands such as Purdy and Wooster typically hit the top of the charts with reviews.  However, you can do your own investigation when shopping for brushes.  It will be worth your time to read reviews and talk to the professionals at the paint stores along with doing your own tests.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some tests you can do yourself to evaluate the quality of a brush.  First and foremost, make sure the brush is comfortable for you to hold.  Next, pull on the bristles and make sure they are tight and packed snug in the ferrule (the metal part that holds the bristles to the handle).  You\u2019ll also want a brush that\u2019s on the thicker side.  The thicker the brush, the more paint it will hold.  This means less work for you, and better coverage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When searching for the best paint brush for interior painting, start with a list of areas you want to paint.  Once you have that information, you can easily select the correct brush for the job.  Then all that\u2019s left is a little research to identify the top performing brush in that category, and you\u2019re on your way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
