Painting Brush

Now we all know that paint brush plays an important role while painting a room or a whole house. The fact is you have to know the use of these different type of brushes. Choose the right one for your job. It will make your job easier and give superior results. Home painting brushes come in a variety of sizes, shapes and various filament materials.

Paint Brush

Each paint brush has its own use. Every project you do will require generally two brushes, one is for general use or large areas and an another is for the finer details.

The good sizes are 3 inch, used for general or large piece of trim. Use 1½ for the finer narrow finish.

It also can be flat, oval and angular. Size ranges can be from 1-6 inches wide.

Surfaces that have so many angles, an angular brush can be used. For narrow surfaces multi purpose brush can be used. For all surfaces lat and oval shaped brush can be used.

You have to fix your mind that which paint brush is best for your task. Choosing should be considering type of paint or finish you want. 2 1/2 inches for basic cut-in and 1 1/2 inches for small trim. Always try to use the large brush.

Some basic shapes and uses of home painting brushes are…

1. For small surfaces such as touch-up, trim, moldings and window sashes 1-2 inch brush is a good choice.

2. For general cutting in of walls as well as all exterior trim 2-3 inch brush works great.

Paint Pad With Tray

We know that there are some house painting tools, paint pad is an another important out of them. Paint pad is helpful in applying paint in hard to reach places. Most pads are made of synthetic materials or plastic foam. Painting pads are suitable for both latex and alkyd paints. The end result of house painting depends on efficient preparations. It’s important to know right techniques. By using the right techniques, right strokes you can get the cool finish.

Some impotant tips while using paint pad.

Paint Pad

1. First purchase the paint pad. Plastic of the kits can be used as the paint tray and as an airtight lid.

2. Hold an empty tray on your hand with the right side up. Then hold your tool properly. You can stick tape down one side of the tray.

3. Bring it lightly behind your palm and up to the other side of the tray. It will ensure the existence of the tray in place while you are working.

4. Hold the painting pad firmly and paint exactly at eye level in front of you. You will see what you are doing. You will have good control on the pad.

5. While using painting pads with tracking wheel, tape off the trim of wall or ceiling. Because when you apply paint on to the pad, paint can get on to the wheels and leave marks on the trim.

6. Then reload the paint pad and repeat the process after reasonable time, this will prevent the pad from drying.

7. Spread and apply the paint on long strokes, this will give you control.

8. If you are planning to take a break from painting, store the pad inside the tray and shut the lid to prevent the paint from drying.

9. Then load paint on the paint pad. This will ensure that there is no overloading of paint or sinking of the pad into the paint.

10. Wriggle the pad to get the paint on to the goam and bristles. Because this movement will not only load the paint but lock it in.

11. You have to move the pad gently across the edge of the tray to remove extra paint.

12. You have to apply the full pad firmly on the surface and move in one direction to deliver paint to the surface. Your next stroke should be on the same area in the opposite direction to fix the paint and remove bristle marks. Paint briskly, working from one side to the other side.

If you follow these minimum process you can get a good result.

Textured wall painting

Textured wall painting offers huge potential for creativity and can really give a completely new style to the home interior. Its can be customized uniquely for different rooms and is cost effective than wall papers(one bag of textured paint can be used over area covered by a double rolls of wall papers) and obviously looks more exciting than plain paints. Different textures can be created by using simple house old items. Whisk brooms can be used to create glass cloth like texture or long strokes of a brush can cerate splashing texture. We can be creative in using sprays and different rollers and to create visually interesting unique combinations. For example using combs we can create lines or just paint the wall with think paint in up down strokes and then we may use towel and swirl the paint of the wall creating a round peak n valley texture. The other type of textures (like wood grain) can require different kind of tools with a little more practice and creativity. Other textures can be achieved with glazing or sponge dabbing etc.

Benefits:-

1. These can create subtle patterns and would look much more creative and attractive than wall papers.

2. The other benefit of the textured paints is it can cover up old fashion paneling and give a new look to the home. Texture paint and faux finish can cover up imperfections in the wall and can hide improper and uneven drywall.

3. Most textured paints are water soluble and can be later softened,and repainted if so desired by plain paints. ­
