A 3 piece synthetic paint brush set covering the sizes you reach for most. Flagged bristle tips, stainless steel ferrules, wooden handles, and no bristle loss. Works with all paints and varnishes.
A decent 3 piece synthetic paint brush set is one of those things you don’t think about until you’re standing in front of a freshly prepped wall with the wrong brush in your hand. This set covers the three most-used sizes in one go: 1 inch, 1.5 inch, and 2 inch. Whether you’re cutting in around architraves, doing window frames, or working through a batch of doors, there’s a brush here for it. The synthetic fibres are soft enough to lay paint on smoothly without track marks, yet firm enough to give you proper control when you need a clean line.
The flagged bristle tips are worth paying attention to. That fine split at the end of each filament is what allows the brush to pick up and release paint evenly, rather than dumping it in one go or leaving you dragging a nearly dry brush across the surface. It makes a real difference on gloss work especially, where any unevenness tends to stay exactly where you left it.
What Makes This Synthetic Paint Brush Set Worth Keeping
Bristle loss is one of the more quietly infuriating problems with cheap brushes. There are few things more annoying than spending ten minutes picking bristles out of fresh gloss. These brushes use a construction that keeps the filaments where they belong, which saves you time and keeps the finish clean. The stainless steel ferrule won’t rust if you’re not always meticulous about drying, and the traditional wooden handle gives you a comfortable grip that doesn’t feel like you’re holding a plastic pen all day.
Compatible with vapour box storage, so if you’re mid-job and want to keep the brushes fresh overnight without washing them out, that option is there. Works across all paints and varnishes, oil-based and water-based alike.
A Practical Set for Everyday Decorating Work
For decorators, general builders doing their own finishing, or anyone who gets through a decent amount of painting work, this 3 piece synthetic paint brush set is a practical, reliable option. Not fancy. Just good brushes at a sensible price, which is usually exactly what the job calls for.
Pro Tip: When loading these brushes, dip no more than a third of the bristle length into the paint and tap gently against the inside of the tin rather than wiping across the rim, which spreads paint into the ferrule and shortens the life of any brush.
These brushes are used across general decorating, joinery finishing, and building maintenance work. The 1 inch is ideal for detailed work like glazing bars, beading, and narrow architraves. The 1.5 inch sits comfortably in the middle, useful for window frames, skirting board edges, and anywhere that calls for a bit more coverage without losing control. The 2 inch covers doors, radiators, and general trim work at a pace. All three work equally well with satinwood, eggshell, gloss, and most water-based finishes.

Not suitable for: Not the right choice for large open surfaces like ceilings or feature walls where a roller or wider brush would be far more efficient. These are trim and detail brushes, not area brushes.
Give the brushes a light flex before first use to remove any loose filaments. Load the bristles no more than a third of the way up and work the paint in with short strokes before laying off in one direction for a clean finish. For cutting in, keep your strokes controlled and use the narrower bristle edge for the sharpest line.
After use, clean thoroughly with the appropriate solvent for the paint type: water for emulsions and water-based products, white spirit for oil-based. Reshape the bristles while damp and store flat or hang bristle-down. Alternatively, wrap in a vapour box or damp cloth if returning to the job the next day.

Are these brushes suitable for oil-based gloss and satinwood?
Yes. The synthetic fibres work well with both oil-based and water-based products, including gloss, satinwood, eggshell, and most varnishes. Clean with white spirit after oil-based use.
What sizes are included in the set?
The set contains three brushes: 1 inch (25mm), 1.5 inch (38mm), and 2 inch (50mm). These are the three most commonly used trim and detail sizes for interior decorating work.
The bristles are manufactured from synthetic filaments with flagged tips, which replicate the paint-holding and release properties of natural hair at a lower cost and with greater consistency. The ferrule is stainless steel, which resists corrosion during cleaning and repeated use. The handle is traditional timber, shaped for grip comfort during sustained use.
