1.5 Inch Paint Brush with Wooden Handle – Black Bristle Decorating Brush for Walls Gloss Emulsion Varnish DIY

1-Inch General Purpose Paint Brush – 25mm

The Right Brush for the Fiddly Bits

There is a reason most decorators keep a small brush close to hand even when they are rolling walls all day. Rollers are fast, but they cannot get into the corner where the skirting meets the wall, or along the thin edge of a window frame, or into the rebate of a door without making a mess of something nearby. A one-inch brush handles all of that. This 25mm brush has dense, dark bristles that pick up enough paint to cover a run of trim without constant reloading, and a tapered tip that gets into edges cleanly without the brush spreading wider than you want it to.

Design and Construction

• 25mm blade width sits in the sweet spot between a cutting-in brush that is too narrow to cover any ground and a wider brush that loses control on fine work
• Dense bristle pack holds a good charge of paint and releases it at a steady rate rather than dumping it all in the first stroke or running dry before you have covered the section
• Red contoured handle fits comfortably in the hand for longer sessions — the shape keeps your wrist in a natural position so you are not fighting the brush on detailed work
• Chrome-plated ferrule is pressed tight around the bristle base and secured with rivets, which is what stops bristles pulling out mid-stroke and ending up stuck in your finish
• Hanging hole through the base of the handle is a small but genuinely useful detail for storing the brush clean and upright after washing

How It Performs

• Lays paint down evenly without the dragging or streaking that comes from a brush with bristles that are too stiff or too loosely packed
• Works with water-based emulsion, oil-based gloss, primer, undercoat and varnish without the bristles splaying or losing their shape between coats
• The tapered tip cuts a clean line along edges and corners where two colours or two surfaces meet, which is the kind of work that shows up every flaw in a cheap brush
• Light enough to use for a full session of trim painting without the hand tiring in the grip — small brushes held at an angle for long periods cause more fatigue than people expect

What This Brush Gets Used For

• Skirting boards, architraves, door frames and window sills where a roller or a wider brush would create more mess than it solved
• Applying primer or undercoat to smaller sections before the main coat goes on
• Touch-up work on walls, furniture and woodwork where a small area needs attention without disturbing the surrounding finish
• Craft and hobby projects where a consistent paint application on smaller surfaces is what the work demands
