Paint Brush Sets for Every Size and Shape
If you're after a practical paintbrush set to handle both touching up and broader strokes, we offer a variety of sizes and bristle types to match your project. Our All Purpose Contractor Paint Brush is a go-to choice for decorators who want consistent quality at the right price.
These brushes are designed to hold more paint—whether you're using oil based paints or water based paints—and deliver a smoother finish across different surfaces. Whether you’re painting walls or furniture, you’ll notice the difference in how these brushes handle coverage and cutting in.
Why Round Brushes Are Ideal for Precision and Detail
When control matters, round brushes come into their own. They're an essential tool for precise work—perfect for trims, corners, and detailed masonry or woodwork. Brushes like the Keim Colourwash Oval Brush give you both flexibility and precision, thanks to their tapered shape, which adapts to how much pressure you use.
We stock a wide variety of round brushes in different bristle types, including natural and synthetic, making them suitable for both oil based and water based paints. Whether you're working on a feature wall or restoring old furniture, choosing the right shape and bristle type can transform the way your finish looks.
Paint Brushes for Walls and Large Areas
Covering a large area efficiently without leaving streaks is all about the right paintbrush. We offer paint brushes designed specifically for walls, ideal for both emulsion and gloss. Take the Osmo Floor Brush 220mm—it’s not only great for wooden floors but also highly effective for painting wide wall sections where a smooth, flat finish is needed.
With densely packed bristles, these brushes give you solid paint pickup and even release, cutting down on spatter and saving time on re-coats. Whether you’re giving a room a fresh coat or working with specialist finishes, you’ll find the ideal brush in our stock to suit your job.

For those who rely on their tools every day, professional paint brushes like the Keim Facade Brush and Rodo Striker Brush offer standout performance and lasting value. These brushes are made to handle constant use, with strong bristle retention and compatibility with a mixture of paints, from emulsion to gloss to specialist masonry coatings.
Whether you’re focused on interiors, exterior projects, or specialist finishes, our professional-grade brushes give you cleaner lines, smoother results, and longer-lasting wear—saving time, effort, and money over the long term.
