PAINT BRUSH VS ROLLER

Paint Brushes and Paint Rollers are tools used in painting. Most interior paints available in the market today can be applied using a paint brush or a paint roller. Both tools are important but the choice of a particular tool depends upon a few factors;

Factors to consider when choosing between paint brush or roller

• Wall texture
• Type of paint
• Required finish
• Painting skills

Paint Brushes

Paint brushes are the traditional and most popular painting tools. Brushes come in various shapes and sizes and give detailed painting over small areas. They are used to paint small areas that require more attention such as trims, edges, and corners. Brushes range from small artists’ brushes to brushes which are 6-inches wide. Wide brushes are used to paint large surfaces and edges where small brushes are used to paint joints and corners.

Rollers

Rollers provides thin, uniform and even coats, and is an ideal tool for painting large, smooth and well-prepared walls, ceilings, and large furniture.The roller is more economical to use than the brush since its porous surface holds much more paint and distributes an even layer of paint much faster.There is a possibility of getting brush marks with brushes but rollers always give a smooth and uniform finish. Rollers size ranges from 2 inches to 18 inches

Benefits of Using Both

The best painting results will be achieved by using both brush and roller.Start with painting the corners, difficult-to-reach areas and edges with the brush, and then cover larger surfaces with the roller.  This method is more efficient and will save you time and paint.

Whichever painting tools you are using, it is necessary to wash them with water after completion of the project.  You can use them again after they have dried.
