Paint Roller vs Paint Brush
Paint brush vs. rollers
When should you use a roller or a paint brush? You want to use a brush when you need to paint narrow strips or to cut in , painting sharp edges. Because of the soft edges of a roller, it simply cannot lay a sharp line. Although a roller lays down paint about three times faster than a brush. A good roller with beveled edges leaves no roller or overlap marks. A roller is the tool of choice for large, flat areas such as a ceiling or wall. Most paint jobs will require both a roller and brush for the entire painting application. The key is to understand when to use each applicator and to know how to use each properly, including pouring out only as much paint as you are going to need for the job.
A good brush feels like a natural extension of your hand. There are many types of paint applicators available, but quality is the key. Bristle brushes are generally more expensive but will last longer and outperform their more inexpensive counterparts. A good quality, properly cared for paint brush will last for years. Thus making it well worth it’s cost with it’s overall performance and durability over time.
