Rollers, Paint Brushes, or Paint Sprayers

There are so many different tools that can be used on a paint project that it can be quite confusing. The most common painting tools are paint brushes and rollers, but spray machines are also a great options. The key is to determine what kind of finish you would like to achieve –  smooth or textured finish – and what paint tools work best for your project.

Rollers, Paint Brushes or Paint SprayersRollers

Rollers provide a thin, uniform coat of paint that is even. Generally, rollers work best when painting large, flat surface areas such ceilings and walls. A roller has a porous surface which means it can hold more paint and helps to complete the project more quickly. There are many different types of rollers: smooth surface rollers and thick or fluffy rollers for a more textured surface. Rollers can also be plastic, fiber, and even sponge rollers.

Paint Brushes

The oldest and the most popular tool for painting is the paint brush. Paint brushes are small, precise and flexible which makes them perfect for painting details, small spaces and for cutting in.  The brush stroke will create a unique texture that is different from a roller finish. There are a variety of sizes and types of brushes to choose from for your project. There are narrow brushes, wide brushes, and hard and soft brushes. Depending on the type of paint, there are also nylon, polyester, and nature brushes each used for a different type of paint.

Rollers & Brushes

To get the best paint results, it is best to use both rollers and paint brushes. 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 efficient, not only saving time but also paint.

Paint Sprayer

Spray machines are one of the best options for projects that require a smooth surface. such as furniture and cabinets. Paint sprayers can spread paint, stains and clear finishes faster than both brushes and rollers. They are quick and can create a nice smooth surface.
