Technology and Craftsmanship

While numerous paintbrush manufacturers put their filaments through 2 stages of processing, we go the extra mile and put many of our paintbrush filaments through up to 10 separate stages of processing thus creating an unmatched filament quality!

In-house processing of filaments include

SURFACE CONDITIONING

The surface of our filaments are conditioned using proprietary techniques in order to achieve:

  • Easier cleanability
  • Increased resistance to curling and flaring
  • Increase paint pickup and release ratio

FLAGGING

Tips of filament are cut in order to create split ends. This gives a paintbrush:

  • An increased brush head surface area thus increasing the amount of paint that can be loaded
  • A regulated flow of paint preventing dumping or dripping
  • Finer tips that leave the paint surface smoother

TIPPING

Ends of the filaments are brought to a fine tip using proprietary technology in order to achieve:

  • Increased paint retention 
  • Extremely fine tips ensuring the smoothest finish

Lint Free Roller Fabric

Lint free roller covers have been available in the Canadian market since the 80's, and were originally considered as a niche fabric due to their high prices. Nour Trading House Inc. changed this by becoming one of the first companies in Canada to sell lint free roller covers at an excellent value thus making them the mass market norm.

Our Aqua Glide Plus microfiber fabric roller covers are precisely cut, beveled, and vacuumed in order to provide a microfiber refill cover of uncompromising quality. Microfiber rollers also have superior paint pick up and release thus allowing greater coverage.

Brilliant Finish OVAL Brushes

As brushes are increasingly used for cutting in, we responded by creating an oval brush with an innovative design to maximize paint pick-up and release. The unique oval shape of our brush allows for superior trimming and cutting-in, leaving a no-streak "Brilliant Finish".

Roller Lock Technology

We noticed that painters were continuously having problems with rollers slipping off of their frames. We responded with the Roller Lock system which is a patented design engineered to reduce roller refill slippage and improve contact on surfaces due to a level dispersion of pressure to both sides of the cage frame.
