What is the best type of paint brush to use for inerior painting?

Does what it's made of make a difference?What is the best type of paint brush to use for inerior painting?
Yes it does matter of the material that is used. Do not use a cheap nylon brush, you will get and uneven texture. You should use either a natural bristle or a polyester fiber bristle. For Latex paints you want to use a softer brush so the paint smooths out easily. If you have a thicker paint, you have to use a stiffer bristle. I recommend (and have had great results) a ';professional'; brush that you can get a Lowe's or Home Depot. They are more expensive, but the quality will show in your home when you see the results. And if you clean it properly they will last for years. Happy Painting!What is the best type of paint brush to use for inerior painting?
Depends on what you are painting, drywall etc. also depends on what texture you are dealing with. One other item is area, how much area are you going to paint. I like rollers for large areas, 9'; to be more exact and brushes for cutting in corners, 2 to 3'; and the cost of the brushes varies a lot. If you are an amateur, but the cheap ones and toss them after the job. If you plan on doing a lot of painting, get the expensive ones and clean them faithfully.
Yes, the cheaper ones do tend to fall apart, and then you spend a lot of time picking individual bristles off the wall.
For walls I use a roller, but for small places I like the sponge brushes. They don't leave lines like the hair or synthetic ones.
Sables paint brushes are amongst the best. They are made of Sable horse hair and have a softer bristle than synthetic bristles, so the paint is easier to apply and will leave a better finish on trim. They are typically better made brushes and don't loose their bristles like most brushes do. They also tend to hold more paint, so you need fewer dips in the paint can. They are more expensive and require a little extra care, but they can last forever. You should have a couple of different sizes for painting trim and baseboards (use a roller for larger surfaces) ...perhaps a 1 1/2'; wide short bristle and a 3 1/2'; wide longer bristle.





I have painted many a house ...inside and out, and these are great brushes.
You want to use a roller to do the large areas, and a 1 1/2'' angle bristle brush
Real horsehair is supposed to be the best. But just get a Purdy, they're a good brand that some professional painters use. You can buy them at Home Depot or Lowes.





The secret is to clean a brush really good after you're done. Buy a wire brush, and clean the dried paint off of the outside with the brush, with the brush braced on the top edge of a bucket. Then jam the bristles straight down into the bucket of water over and over. Get clean water, repeat.





Your brush will be back to like new for the next time.
