Why Harris brushes are better
THE BRITTLE BRISTLE DILEMMA
Poor quality brushes are generally manufactured using inferior quality filament or bristle. These poorly processed bristles will be brittle in nature, breaking off when being used. So however much you try to remove loose bristles before you paint, you’re still likely to shed bristle throughout the painting process.
THE HARRIS SOLUTION
Harris brushes feature only the finest natural bristles and synthetic filaments keeping bristle loss to an absolute minimum. Better still, our No-Loss® Evolution range is guaranteed against bristle loss for life!
PAINT PICK UP PROBLEMS
A poor quality brush will not only contain a low volume of filament or bristle but this is usually of poorer quality. This means that the brush will be less effective at picking up paint from the pot resulting in more frequent loading, greater amounts of dripping and uneven painting.
THE HARRIS SOLUTION
Harris brushes have been designed to make loading as easy and effective possible. By using the finest bristles and synthetic filaments our brushes absorb more paint, requiring less frequent reloading.
SPREADING SETBACKS
Modern paints vary in consistency but some can be particularly thick. This means that the brush being used must have flexibility and body to enable it to effectively spread the paint on the surface. A poor quality brush made with low volume and poorer quality bristle or filament will not effectively spread such paints to create an even and consistent finish.
THE HARRIS SOLUTION
Thanks to their high volume of quality bristles Harris brushes hold more paint allowing you to cover larger areas before reloading is necessary.
LAY OFF ISSUES
Lay off is the final light stroke given to the painted surface to optimise the finish that is obtained and remove any brush marks or inconsistencies. The ability of a brush to do this depends both on the degree to which it is finely tipped and also its flexibility and body. Poorer quality filament or bristle tends not to be so finely tipped and a brush with a low volume of filament will also make this process difficult.
THE HARRIS SOLUTION
Harris brushes are designed with exceptional flexibility and finely tipped ends to provide an exceptional finish every time.
SHAPE RETENTION
A brush made with poor quality filament will have a tendency to splay and appear bushy after being used and cleaned. This means that it becomes almost impossible to obtain a tidy straight edge and also that the finish obtained will be adversely affected.
THE HARRIS SOLUTION
Harris brushes retain their shape after being used and cleaned, ensuring tidy edges are possible every time you paint.

Harris products are always very good quality, reasonably priced and last for years if looked after properly. For recent kitchen renovation and living room decoration projects, I used the 9" Powercoat Roller, ID Flexibrush, No-Loss Evolution brush set, ID Gel filling knife and brush tub for cleaning.
The products I used performed very well, I was especially pleased with the ID Powercoat Roller. I thought the ID Flexi Brush was a bit of a gimmick and was sceptical after my partner bought me one, but I have been amazed at how handy it is for hard to reach places such as behind and around radiators as they are so flexible and comfortable in the hand at the same time.
I have been using Harris Brushes for years and always recommend them to friends and workmates.
