Arroworthy Paint Brushes Explained: Finding the Right Brush for the Job
The right paint brush can make a noticeable difference to your decorating project. A quality brush gives you better control, smoother paint application and cleaner results when working on walls, woodwork, doors, windows and trim.
But with different brush ranges, filament blends, cuts and handle styles available, choosing the right Arroworthy Paint Brush isn't always straightforward.
At Haverhill Paint Supplies we stock four key ranges – Classic, Rembrandt, Patriot and Contract – each designed for different decorating requirements to suit professional decorators and DIY customers alike.
What Makes Arroworthy Paint Brushes Different?
One of the most important things to consider when choosing a paint brush is the filament.
The Classic, Rembrandt and Patriot ranges all use nylon filaments, designed to provide fast, smooth and easy painting. However, the filament blends differ between the ranges, giving each brush its own characteristics.
Arroworthy Classic – Soft Filament Blend
The Arroworthy Classic range uses a soft filament blend, giving the brush a more forgiving feel during use.
This makes Classic a great all-round option for general decorating, particularly if you prefer a softer brush that's comfortable and easy to control.
Classic brushes are available in both angled and straight-cut options, as well as different handle styles.
Classic is a great choice for:
- General decorating
- Walls and woodwork
- Doors
- Everyday painting
- General cutting in
Arroworthy Rembrandt – Medium Filament Blend
The Arroworthy Rembrandt range uses a medium filament blend, providing slightly more firmness and control than the Classic range.
This makes Rembrandt particularly useful when precision is important, especially when working in tighter spaces or around detailed areas.
Like Classic, Rembrandt is available in angled and straight cuts, with a choice of long handle, beavertail and pencil handles.
Rembrandt is particularly suited to:
- Precision decorating
- Cutting in
- Tight spaces
- Trim and woodwork
- Doors and windows
- Detailed finishing
Arroworthy Patriot – Medium Tapered Filaments
The Arroworthy Patriot range also uses a medium filament blend, giving it a good balance of control and flexibility.
What makes Patriot different is that its filaments are also tapered. This helps create a finer tip, making the brush particularly useful when precision is required.
Patriot is therefore a strong choice for decorators looking for a brush that combines the control of a medium blend with the precision of tapered filaments.
Patriot is ideal for:
- Precision painting
- Cutting in
- Detailed work
- Trim
- Edges and corners
Arroworthy Contract Pro
The Arroworthy Contract Pro range provides another option for everyday decorating, making it a practical choice for decorators and DIY customers looking for a dependable brush for general painting work.
It is a useful addition to the Arroworthy range alongside Classic, Rembrandt and Patriot, particularly when you're looking for brushes for general-purpose decorating and larger projects.
Contract is suited to:
- General decorating
- Walls
- Woodwork
- Everyday painting
- DIY projects
- Larger decorating jobs
Classic vs Rembrandt vs Patriot
The easiest way to understand the main differences between the three performance-focused ranges is to look at the filament:
| Range | Filament | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Arroworthy Classic | Soft blend | General decorating and a more forgiving feel |
| Arroworthy Rembrandt | Medium blend | Precision and tighter spaces |
| Arroworthy Patriot | Medium tapered blend | Precision and detailed work |
The different filament blends allow you to choose the feel and level of control that best suits your decorating style.
Angled or Straight Cut?
Once you've chosen your Arroworthy range, you can also choose between an angled or straight-cut paint brush.
Angled Paint Brushes
An angled brush is particularly useful for cutting in. The angled profile makes it easier to follow an edge and achieve a clean line around ceilings, corners, windows and door frames.
They're a popular choice for decorators who regularly carry out precision cutting-in work.
Straight Cut Paint Brushes
A straight-cut brush provides a more traditional brush profile and is useful for general painting, doors, woodwork and broader applications.
Both the Classic and Rembrandt ranges are available in angled and straight-cut options, giving you flexibility depending on the job.
Choosing Your Arroworthy Brush Handle
The handle is another important consideration, particularly if you're using your brush for long periods.
Arroworthy Classic and Rembrandt brushes are available with long handle, beavertail and pencil handles.
Long Handle
A traditional, versatile handle that's well suited to general decorating and longer painting sessions.
Beavertail
A fuller handle that provides a substantial grip and can feel comfortable during regular professional use.
Pencil Handle
A slimmer handle that gives you a more precise grip, making it particularly popular for cutting in and detailed work.
There's no single "best" handle – it's largely about personal preference and what feels most comfortable in your hand.
Finding the Right Arroworthy Paint Brush
The great thing about the Arroworthy range is that you can choose your brush based on filament, cut and handle.
Choose Classic if you prefer a softer, more forgiving brush for general decorating.
Choose Rembrandt if you want a medium filament blend with a little more firmness and control, particularly when working in tighter spaces.
Choose Patriot if you want a medium blend with tapered filaments for added precision.
The Contract range is another practical option for everyday decorating and larger projects.
You can then choose an angled or straight cut where available, followed by the handle style you prefer.
How to Get the Best Finish from Your Arroworthy Paint Brush
Even a high-quality paint brush needs the right technique to produce the best results.
Avoid overloading the brush, work in manageable sections and don't repeatedly brush over paint once you've achieved an even finish.
Most importantly, use the right brush for the job. An angled cutter will generally give you better control when cutting in, while a straight-cut brush can be more suitable for general painting.
Finally, clean your brushes thoroughly after use. Proper brush care will help maintain the filaments and extend the life of your decorating tools.
