Painting techniques

Preparation is key when painting and decorating. Chose the right tools for the job to get the effects you want for your home.

Invest in a flexible frame:

It’s worth buying a good-quality paint roller, with a cage that spins freely and springs back into position when you squeeze it. Look for a comfortable handle, with a threaded insert to take an extension pole.

The pole will save you bending if you want to paint a floor, or climbing a stepladder to reach ceilings. A telescopic pole is the most versatile type.

Choose your sleeve carefully:

Use a cheap foam roller sleeve for general painting work where the standard of the finish is not important. For a good finish on a very smooth surface, a mohair sleeve with a short pile is best. A sleeve with a long lambswool or synthetic fibre pile forces paint into every crevice on a highly textured surface.

Use a long-nap sleeve with a tough nylon pile on rough exterior surfaces such as pebbledash.

Create a textured finish:

A sculptured roller sleeve will add a textured finish to a flat surface. Hessian, bark, swirl, patchwork and stipple effects are among those available. Some can be used to create a repeating pattern with successive parallel passes of the roller.

What size brush?

The general rule is to use the widest brush that you can handle comfortably, and which is appropriate for the surface being painted. A 100mm brush is ideal for applying emulsion paint to walls, while a 75mm one is better for gloss-painting flat woodwork.

The wider the brush, the quicker you can paint, making it easier to keep a wet edge as you work.

Get the best from a cheap brush:

A cheap brush is fine if a good finish isn’t important—when brightening up an under-stairs cupboard, for example. Try to use the brush for priming and undercoating first, so that when it’s time to apply the top coat it has stopped shedding bristles.

Natural versus synthetic:

Modern synthetic fibre brushes will perform as well as all but the finest hog bristle brushes, and suffer far less from ‘hair loss’ in use. They are also easier to clean than bristle brushes, and keep their shape better too.
