Hamilton Paint Brushes and Rollers

paintbrush

Hamilton Acorn has been manufacturing top quality paint brushes since 1746 and the Hamilton brand has always represented the very highest quality and performance.

Hamilton does not only have unrivalled heritage and experience in the manufacturing of high quality brushes, it is also constantly looking to the future and developing its technology and its products to ensure that its range remains the very best available.
It is this continuous development that led to the launch of the most advances synthetic brush in the UK, the Hamilton Perfection Gold and most recently to the addition of the latest synthetic brush in the Hamilton range, the new Hamilton Silver.
Hamilton Silver

Specially formulated with advanced synthetic filaments to give a superb finish with all types of paint. It is becoming increasingly important that a comprehensive range of synthetic brushes are made available for two reasons;
Firstly, the quality and availability of the natural bristle used in Hamilton professional brushes is diminishing rapidly as the only source, China, farms the hogs more intensively and more rapidly to feed their booming population.
Secondly, as water based coating become more widespread and indeed mandatory for certain types of work such as local authority work, it becomes vital that brushes which can cope with these coatings are made available. The fact that natural bristle brushes clog and can leave tram-lines in water borne coatings highlights the need for professional quality synthetic brushes such as Hamilton Silver.
Hamilton Silver has been extensively tested with professional decorators, with all types of coating and on all types of surfaces, to ensure the high levels of performance demanded of Hamilton brushes.
