What is the Copenhagen Pro brush used for? The Copenhagen Pro brush comes with a cotton ferrule and a beechwood handle. It’s ideal for streak-free application of turpentine-based paints and lacquers. With black Chinese hog bristle for the majority of its make-up, it features a waxed FSC-certified beechwood handle, a cotton ferrule, and a nickel-plated ring. Its synthetic Krex bristles are resilient and suited to all types of paint. The fibres are artificially flagged for extra softness at the tips and rounded for precision work, making it suitable for small areas such as window frames and edges. It’s compatible with many modern paints, including waterborne and low-VOC solvent-based formulations.
What makes the Copenhagen Pro brush special? The quality of a brush often stems from how its bristles are set. To achieve the round shape at the tip, the bristles are carefully positioned in the ferrule using specialised moulds. Black Chinese hog bristle, used for Copenhagen Pro, grows for about two years to achieve sufficient length. Unlike other brushes, Copenhagen maintains the natural flag at the bristle tips, enhancing the brush’s ability to absorb and release paint consistently. The softening and wearing in of hog bristle over time further improve the smooth application and user experience.

Smartwares BV has since expanded to provide bathroom, sanitary, and electrical products.
