Title: Cill brush domestic houses
Post by: Mr Sparkle on August 09, 2013, 04:41:35 pm

Hi guys I was digging out all my old brushes and came across a cill brush, Only been used once for a job a couple of years ago.
Thinking of putting it onto my gardiners slx pole and using it again.

Anyone use a cill brush and if so does it clean as good as a supa lite gardiners.

Can you work with it all day or is it to heavy?

Depends what kind of sill brush it is.

I had a Vikan sill brush when i first started and found that incredibly heavy after about half a day.

Yet, the Gardiner's sill brushes are awesome, i work all day with it - every day, would never go back to the super lite or any other kind of brush.

I've just started using a Gardiner sill brush and it's great, best brush i've ever used.

You cant beat gardiners brushes ;)

The one I have found out is an old vikan sill brush, might be too heavy.

Think might buy a new gardiners cill brush instead of another supa lite

my perfect combination after  3 years WFP is an Xtreme 25 with mk3 XL AD and the new extreme brush on a carbon 45 degree gooseneck.

absolutely unbelievably light.the new brushes feel "beefier" than previous extremes with good splay and good scrubbing action.

as for the Xtreme pole.it gets talked about a lot on here.IT IS as good as other windys say.absolutely awesome pole.nothing else comes close to rigidity,lightness and ease of use.

i have got a radius sill brush medium bristle and i use it for fascia/soffit and conservatory roof cleaning.good brush.i also have a soft version but dont use it although i might start using it for solar panels.

Each to their own, ive got both vikan sill and Gardiners sill, and for everyday use its Vikan every time for me. Gardiners comes in to its own for the larger poles but just isnt man enough for my liking on an 18ft pole.

I do think that Vikan brushes are made to last, they are good quality.
But.....I put an old Vikan Sill Brush on my slx a couple of months ago and because I only use Gardiners brushes nowadays I did notice a considerable weight difference.
When I used to use the vikan brush day in/day out I didn't really notice it being heavy, but after using lighter brushes you certainly do!
