About Redtree Industries
Redtree Industries has been a trusted name in professional-grade painting applicators since its founding in 1976. Specializing in brushes and rollers engineered specifically for the demands of marine and industrial coatings, Redtree has built a worldwide reputation for handcrafted quality and finishing performance that DIY enthusiasts and seasoned professionals alike rely on.
Handcrafted for Superior Finishes
What sets Redtree apart is its commitment to craftsmanship. Rather than mass-producing generic applicators, Redtree formulates and handcrafts each brush and roller to maximize paint performance. The result is consistently smooth, streak-free results across topcoats including enamels, varnishes, urethanes, and bottom paints. Whether you are tackling a fiberglass hull, a topsides refinish, or an industrial surface prep project, the right Redtree applicator makes a measurable difference in the final finish.
A Complete Line of Paint Brushes
Redtree's flagship product category is its extensive range of paint brushes. From disposable chip brushes ideal for applying epoxies and sealers to fine-finish natural bristle and synthetic bristle brushes designed for high-gloss enamels and varnishes, there is a Redtree brush purpose-built for every coating and application style. The lineup includes natural bristle options made from ox, hog, and badger hair — ideal for oil-based paints and varnishes — as well as synthetic bristle brushes engineered for water-based and latex coatings. Handles come in multiple styles and materials, giving painters full control over ergonomics and technique.
Notable product lines include the iconic Badger series, handmade flowing brushes prized for ultra-fine finishing and roll-and-tip application techniques, as well as the Onyx series featuring 100% white China bristles set in epoxy for superior bristle retention. Every brush in the Redtree catalog is designed with one goal: to make paint perform at its absolute best.
Marine-Specific Engineering
Redtree maintains close relationships with marine paint manufacturers around the world, allowing the brand to continually develop applicators that are fully compatible with the latest generation of coatings — from antifouling bottom paints to high-build epoxy primers and crystal-clear polyurethane topcoats. This ongoing research and development cycle ensures that Redtree brushes and rollers are never behind the curve when new coating technologies emerge.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality
Redtree Industries holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, underscoring its dedication to consistent quality management across its entire manufacturing process. The brand is also RoHS, Conflict Mineral, and REACH compliant, making it a responsible choice for professionals and environmentally conscious consumers. With worldwide distribution and a catalog spanning over 15,000 brush configurations, Redtree is the go-to source for anyone serious about achieving a professional-grade finish.
