Fleetwood has officially brought its Glide-Pro brush range to the UK market, following a hugely successful launch in Ireland where it has quickly become one of the country’s favourite trade brushes.
Built for decorators who need speed, control and a consistently smooth finish, Glide-Pro has earned its reputation by delivering professional quality at excellent value. Over the past couple of years, Irish painters and decorators have adopted the range in large numbers, praising its performance for everyday site work, detailed cutting-in and finishing jobs.
Now, UK decorators are getting the chance to put it to the test. Many visitors to Fleetwood’s stand at the recent Painting & Decorating Show received a Glide-Pro trade sample, and the early feedback has been outstanding. Decorators have been particularly impressed by the brush’s balance, paint pick-up and clean cutting edge, with many commenting that it feels like a premium trade tool without the premium price tag.
At the heart of Glide-Pro is its distinctive PBT bristle blend with extended taper. This bristle design has been developed to give decorators a smoother application, reduced brush marks and better control across walls, woodwork and trim.
The range is suitable for use with all paints, making it a versatile everyday brush for professional users and the chisel edge makes for precise cutting-in, helping decorators work quickly and confidently around edges, corners, frames and detailed areas. The bristles are designed to hold more paint for extra productivity, while still being easy to clean after use.
Durability has also been carefully considered. Glide-Pro includes a ribbed stainless-steel ferrule for strength and long-term performance, along with a treated hardwood handle designed to resist water absorption. That means the brush feels solid in the hand and is built to stand up to the demands of regular trade use.
The range is available in flat brush sizes from 1” to 3”, as well as angled sash options from 1.5” to 2.5”, giving decorators the flexibility to choose the right tool for each job.
For Fleetwood, Glide-Pro represents exactly what professional decorators expect from a trade brush: smooth finish, maximum control, durability and real value.
