Angled Sash Paint Brush - Bamboo Handle Lick Pro Tools

An angle sash brush for cutting in, neat edges, and all the bits where a normal brush feels a bit too clumsy.

It is called a sash brush because brushes like this were originally used for painting window sashes. That means the moving framed bit of an old window. So the shape makes sense. It is made for edges, frames, narrow sections, and places where you need a bit more control.

I think the angled head makes cutting in feel much easier. You can guide the paint into the line, rather than trying to force a flat brush into a corner and hoping it behaves. I use this kind of brush around ceilings, skirting boards, window frames, door frames, shelves, sockets, corners, and borders. It just feels more controlled.

Choose the 1.5" if you want more control. I would use this for tighter spaces, smaller edges, window frames, shelves, sockets, skirting, and detailed cutting in. It is the size I would pick if I wanted to feel a bit safer around a tricky edge.

Choose the 2.5" if you are doing longer lines and bigger borders. I would use this for cutting in around ceilings, larger walls, doors, and wider trim. It covers more surface, but still gives you that angled edge, so it feels quicker without feeling clumsy.

I think this is the kind of brush that makes you feel a bit better at painting. Not because it does the job for you, but because it gives you a cleaner line and a bit more confidence. The tapered bristles hold a good amount of paint and lay it off smoothly, so the finish looks neater and the whole job feels easier.

The handle is made from bamboo from a sustainably managed forest, and the ferrule is made using recycled steel. The brush is certified carbon neutral too. So you can get sharper edges, a better finish, and make a more considered choice at the same time.

Less plastic. Better edges.

Other useful tools in this range:

I think good tools make painting feel much easier. You get cleaner edges, smoother coverage, less mess, and that nice feeling that you are doing the job properly. These are the other bits in the range that work well together, depending on what you are painting.

For walls, ceilings, and bigger flat areas, the 9" mid pile roller sleeve is the one I would use first. Pair it with the roller, sleeves and tray set if you want the main setup in one go.

For smaller sections, awkward corners, panelling, furniture, shelves, and narrow bits of wall, the 4" mid pile roller sleeves are really handy. They help you get a roller finish in places where a big roller feels too clumsy.

The 2.5L paint kettle is one of those things that seems simple, but makes the job feel calmer. I use a kettle when I do not want to carry a full tin around. Pour a sensible amount in, cut in, touch up, move around the room, then put any leftover paint back in the tin.

For brushwork, the 3 brush set is a good everyday set. The 5 brush set gives you more options if you are doing a bigger job or want a few sizes to hand.

If you already know what you need, you can pick a single flat brush for general painting, or an angle sash brush for cutting in around edges, frames, ceilings, and skirting boards. The 3 piece flat brush set is also a nice simple option if you want a few useful flat brush sizes together.

The nice bit is that these are proper decorating tools, not just “eco” versions that make the job harder. Bamboo handles, recycled metal, recycled plastic cores, sugarcane pulp trays, and tools that still help you get a finish you can feel proud of.
