wfp brush options

bit of long shot as can see not window c's on here much but looking upgrade my kit,currently have unger hydropower aluminium kit 6m,served me well for 10 years tbh,just wondered if could benefit from new brush head type. currently just got standard radius brush and got big house soon with sash windows (multi panes glass on each sash cant remember if 9 or 16 on each sash) any recommendations and not the forecasted 'get a proper set-up' etc etc. i only do on end tanancys and occasional deep clean/regular customers by request. even contemplating the carbon composite pole but cant see vast difference from the aluminium one and the carbon 24k doesnt justify outlay for my needs. appreciate any constructive input chaps

I really rate the gardiner supreme dupont tapertec. It`s only 23cms long at stock but nice long bristles which splay out nicely. Good allrounder with excellent scrubbing power. Good for sah windows and good for sills. Nice and light to.
Carbon and hybrids are so much lighter to use then ali. poles. I use a 22ft gardiner slx and have a 4ft gardiner clx which I use on bungalows for quickness..

Oh I do use the extreme 35cm dupont tapertec sill brush also. It is fantastic to. really quick and light but scrubbing power isn`t quite as effective as the supreme. A little too long for sash windows. I use it with 4 x 1.4 mm pencil jets.

Magic thanks. Have heard good things on tapertec. I def like the sound of smaller base with splayed out bristles. Best of both worlds and more versatile I would imagine. Will take a look. Many thanks.

Hey no problem.

For big houses with loads of sash windows, swapping brush heads really does help. I used to stick with a standard brush too, but moving to a lighter, tapered bristle brush made it way easier to get into all those little panes and corners without leaving streaks. Personally, I don’t find carbon poles necessary unless you’re up and down all day, but a lighter pole does help if you get hand or arm ache after a long session.

Also, If you’re keen on new ways to handle tricky windows or want something with a bit of tech, I’d suggest looking at smart glass for future jobs. I saw this setup in a client’s home and it’s getting more common these days, might be worth learning about.
