Paintbrushes are used to apply paints, enamels, wood stains and water-based paints on walls, window and door frames, iron and wood. For those who paint for a living, bristle hold, good paint coverage and a comfortable handle are what count. This collection brings together paintbrushes and wall brushes from AMES, Panfilm, Vigor and Pavan.
Product types in the collection
- Flat paintbrushes with natural or synthetic bristle, for enamels and paints
- Flat wall brushes with wooden handle and Chinese bristle
- Ceiling brushes, wide brushes for painting large areas of walls and ceilings
- Long-handled brushes, for reaching difficult spots
How to choose
Choose the width according to the surface: narrow brushes for trim and window and door frames, wide ones for walls. Natural bristle is usually used with solvent-based enamels and paints, synthetic with water-based paints. For precise finishing work, a long or shaped handle is worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions: Paintbrushes
Which brush should I choose for synthetic enamel?
For synthetic enamels and paints, choose brushes with natural bristle, while for water-based products synthetic bristle is the most suitable choice. Always check the brush label and the type of product you need to apply. The handle should be comfortable and the bristle firmly fixed to the ferrule, with no fraying.
What is the difference between a wall brush and a flat brush?
The wall brush has a wide, short head, designed to cover large surfaces such as walls and ceilings in a short time. The flat brush is narrower and allows precise work on edges, corners and window and door frames. For the ceiling the wall brush is best, for finishing and outlines the flat one.
What is a radiator brush for?
The radiator brush has a long handle and a slim head, to reach the space behind the radiator elements without marking the wall. There are models with a wooden handle and Chinese bristle, to be chosen according to the width of the gap to be covered. Use a paint suited to metal and apply it in thin coats.
Do I really need a bucket set of 108 brushes?
A bucket with many sizes, such as the 108-piece one ranging from 20 to 60 mm, is useful for those who have varied jobs and want the sizes ready to hand. For occasional use, a few good-quality brushes, chosen according to the paint you use, are enough. Maintenance also matters: wash them straight after use, otherwise the bristle hardens.
How do I clean paintbrushes after use?
Brushes used with synthetic enamel are cleaned with thinner, while for water-based products water and mild soap are enough. Squeeze the bristle well and leave the brush to dry lying flat, without resting it on its bristles, so as not to deform it. Wash it straight after use, because dried paint ruins the bristle.
What are artists' brushes for?
Artists' brushes, in round or flat versions, are used for details, precise touch-ups and artistic work with fine paints. They are thinner than decorators' brushes and need more care in cleaning and storage. The choice depends on the type of paint and the detail you need to achieve.
Which tapered or oval brushes should I use for window and door frames and trim?
Tapered-ferrule and oval brushes are designed for precision work on window and door frames, trim and corners, where you need to control the amount of paint. The tapered-ferrule brush has a tight binding near the handle, which helps to meter the paint. Choose the size according to the profile to be painted and do not overload the brush.
