Every decorator knows the struggle. You finish for the day, wrap your brush in clingfilm, or seal it in a plastic bag, hoping it’ll stay soft for tomorrow. The next morning, it’s stiff, sticky, or worse – completely ruined. Wet brush storage has always been a headache for anyone using oil-based paints. When there’s too much air, the paint cures; when there’s too much solvent, the bristles distort. Over the years, decorators have faced the same problem: choosing between messy improvisation and costly replacements. As a result, even the most experienced tradespeople have spent hours rescuing brushes that should have lasted longer. Fortunately, BrushMate changes that. It offers a cleaner and smarter way to protect your tools. Moreover, it’s designed for decorators who take pride in their craft and expect consistent, professional results every time.
Wet brush storage doesn’t need to be complicated. BrushMate’s Trade 20 and Trade 4+ systems create a controlled vapour environment that stops paint from drying and keeps bristles soft and ready to use. You don’t have to soak, wrap, or clean your brushes every day. Instead, you simply lift the lid, slot in your brushes, and carry on working. The vapour system actively prevents curing without soaking, so it eliminates swelling and distortion. As a result, brushes stay perfectly shaped, balanced, and free from contamination between colours. Furthermore, because every minute counts on site, BrushMate helps you move quickly between coats and stay productive throughout the day. In addition, its durable construction withstands daily transport and rough site conditions with ease.
For decorators who value precision, time, and performance, the difference is clear. Wet brush storage becomes simple, reliable, and efficient. You save hours of cleanup and extend the life of every brush. Replacing ruined tools costs money and slows you down, so preventing damage matters. BrushMate systems have proven their reliability for over two decades on UK job sites, consistently outperforming makeshift alternatives. They protect your brushes, maintain your standards, and keep your workflow running smoothly. Moreover, they help you stay organised and focused, even on the busiest projects. Whether you apply fine detail, cover large surfaces, or handle specialist finishes, your brushes stay soft, clean, and ready to go. It’s a small change that increases efficiency, saves time, and improves results across every job. It’s a small change that delivers big gains in efficiency and consistency, job after job.
