Paint brushes

Which is the best paintbrush to use in any given situation? When it comes to buying professional paintbrushes, it's essential that the brush is well-matched to the paint, varnish or glaze in question. It's also important to distinguish between solvent-based and water-based products.

• For solvent-based paints and varnishes as well as glazes, it's best to use a stiffer paintbrush as the firmer degree of resistance of the brush makes it easier to apply the coating and less likely that surplus product will collect on the substrate being coated. Whether you are looking for a paintbrush for a glaze or for a paint or varnish, our Solvamaxx plus will be sure to meet your requirements and ensure professional quality, giving you perfect results.

• For water-based paints and varnishes or glazes on the other hand, it's a good idea to use a brush with shorter bristles. This helps you to apply the material in the best possible way and significantly improves the flow of the paint. A good choice in this case would be our professional paintbrush Aquamaxx plus. In any case, it's always important to make sure that you use the brush correctly and clean it thoroughly afterwards. This will ensure excellent uptake of the paint and keep the brush robust with a long service life. Read our tips here.

Brushes with character

Are you looking for a brush to apply a stain, to paint a floor or to brush away dust? You'll find a selection of high-quality brushes here! To ensure best-possible results and minimum stress when you are applying a coating, your brush needs to be well-matched to the surface to be treated. If you want to achieve an especially smooth surface, a staining brush with a leather insert is the ideal tool. The leather insert helps to create a deeper shine. On the other hand, if you want to give an old, weathered timber surface a good brush, we would recommend a brass-wire brush with handle. The soft brass-wire bristles remove residues of paint and loose pieces of wood, getting deep into the pores of the wood.
