For professional painters and decorators, having a selection of high quality, reliable brushes makes achieving a professional finish effortless. Here, Andrew Cummins, Senior Product Manager at Purdy, looks at what sets Purdy’s brushes apart. With subpar brushes, the filaments will often leave visible brush marks, or even come loose and get stuck in the paint, ruining the finish. To avoid this, Purdy brushes have been cleverly designed with a bolstered epoxy so that the filaments remain intact and do not come loose or fall out. The ferrule is also attached to the handle via a double or triple crimp, ensuring the bristles and handle are as secure as possible – and Purdy brushes also feature a stainless-steel ferrule that is corrosion and rust resistant for a strong brush head.
Purdy brushes include different filaments to suit a variety of jobs. For example, the XL Elite – Monarch is a thick brush that has been designed to tackle large surface areas and thicker consistency paints like emulsion, thanks to its ability to pick up and lay off more paint than a regular brush. This means that the job can be done faster, maximising productivity without compromising on the finish.
Alternatively, at the other end of the spectrum the Syntox Flat has thinner, softer filaments and can be used to create a mirror like finish when working with thinner coatings like varnishes and stains. The tipping and flagging of the filaments in Purdy brushes also works to reduce brush marks and ensure an outstanding finish every time.
In addition, Purdy brushes are lightweight, durable and maneuverable thanks to their Alderwood handle. Alderwood is moisture wicking, so it absorbs sweat for a more comfortable, sturdy grip. Purdy has also designed each brush handle to suit different applications. For example, Purdy’s XL Cub brush is designed with a short, lightweight handle for maximum control in difficult to reach places, whereas the XL Elite – Sprig has a beavertail handle that fits comfortably in the palm of the hand for wide strokes when applying trim paint.
With Purdy, painters and decorators can trust in the usability, durability and longevity of their products – and ensure a professional finish every time.
