Jen Brush

About Jen Manufacturing & the Original Poly-Brush®

When it comes to foam applicator brushes, one name stands above the rest: Jen Manufacturing. As the inventors, designers, and producers of the one and only Poly-Brush®, Jen Manufacturing has spent nearly five decades setting the industry standard for polyurethane foam brushes — and every single one is proudly made in the USA.

Founded as a small, family-owned business, Jen Manufacturing built its reputation on a simple but powerful idea: a foam brush engineered with the right density, stiffness, and surface contact to deliver a smooth, professional finish that traditional bristle brushes simply can't match. That original vision has never wavered, and the Poly-Brush® remains the benchmark against which all other foam brushes are measured.

What Makes the Poly-Brush® Different?

The Poly-Brush® is crafted from a specially formulated polyurethane foam that eliminates the two most common complaints about painting: brush marks and loose bristles. Unlike conventional paint brushes, the foam construction glides across surfaces — wood, metal, walls, furniture, and more — depositing an even coat with fewer strokes. The result is a cleaner, more consistent finish whether you're working with enamel, latex, oil-based paints, stain, or varnish.

• Available in 1-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch sizes to suit any project scale
• Works on all smooth surfaces including woodwork, sash, floors, walls, ceilings, and furniture
• Compatible with enamel, latex, oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes
• No brush marks, no loose bristles — professional results for any skill level
• Not recommended for use with shellac or lacquer

Poly-Roller®: The Natural Companion

Alongside the iconic Poly-Brush®, Jen Manufacturing also produces the Poly-Roller® — a foam roller made from the same specially patented urethane foam. Available in 3-inch, 4-inch, 7-inch, and 9-inch sizes, the Poly-Roller® brings the same mark-free application quality to larger surface areas, making it the ideal complement for full-room painting projects or broad flat surfaces.

Trusted Across Industries

Jen Manufacturing's brushes and rollers have found their way into the hands of painters, woodworkers, hobbyists, marine enthusiasts, and craft professionals alike. Their consistent quality has earned them shelf space at major retailers nationwide, and their reputation as the "original" foam brush has never been challenged. As a privately held, family business, Jen Manufacturing has stayed true to its commitment to American manufacturing and uncompromising product quality — a combination that has made the Poly-Brush® a trusted staple for generations of do-it-yourselfers and trade professionals.
