How To Choose A Paintbrush

Put simply, stiff filaments provide crisp lines when cutting in or painting around windows, doors and trim. They also hold thicker coatings well.
​Soft filaments, on the other hand, leave fewer brush marks and ultra-smooth finishes when tackling doors, furniture or trim work.
Picture
Angular-style brushes are also great for getting into tight corners and other hard-to-reach areas, or when painting crisp lines along trim, ceilings and baseboards.
Flat-style brushes should be used on projects that require long strokes on large continuous surfaces.
Large-size brushes cover greater surface area more efficiently when a roller cover isn’t ideal, like on fences or curved surfaces. 
Short-handled brushes are ideal for painting in cramped spaces like corners, cabinets and trim. Purdy® Cub brushes, for example, feature short, lightweight alderwood handles that provide better control when doing precision work in tight spaces.

Handle Style

The right handle design can help you stay comfortable and productive for the entirety of your project.
Picture
Short handles are for painting in tight spots where a longer handle would get in the way.
Picture
Beavertail handles are thick and round to fit nicely in the palm of your hand.
Picture
Rattail handles are long, skinny and held like a pencil.
Picture
Sash handles are long with rounded sides for better control in a hand.
