Title: best two brushes
Post by: Steve H on October 07, 2013, 11:33:21 pm

Just opening a debate here I know, but there are so many different brushes around its driving me mad.
All I want is a few opinions on the best 2 brushes to buy to get me going with new wfp system.

I need one for windows, will also do sills etc with it.  Then one for the other work ie fascia boards, gutters and connie roofs (not glass roofs, as I would use the window brush).

Any ideas much appreciated, looked on Gardiners sight but would rather it come from those guys who are using them now out in the field.

Thanks in advance guys.

Steve

This is what I use for everything mate, windows and con roofs, fascias etc works great and is a sill brush. When you get it you could try one with pencil jets and one with fan jets as some say fan jets are better for con foors etc.

I use it with the quick loq socket.

There is also a brush suitability guide on gardiners but tbh regardless I've found this brush to do all the jobs fine and this was what many recommended to me.

Hi Steve
Try a sill brush from Gardiners they are a good all round brush and if you are new to WFP you don't want to be scratching or marking sills!!!
Much easier to do than you think if the stock of the brush rubs along the upper sills and you don't want to be changing the angle of the brush all the time to avoid it.
Sill brush avoids the need for this.
cheers P.

Gardiners SL medium mixed is a great starter brush as it will take some abuse ut is a good all round brush .

I would not even consider an Xtreme as yoy will destroy ut in a matter of weeks an SL will last a good 6 months or so of daily use . Mike

Thanks again guys, looks like gardiner then!

I was told the Vikan brushes were ok but by the sounds, most guys go for the gardiners stuff.

One thing to add to the debate is which guys go for pencil jets or spray jets (not correct term but you know what I mean) and why?

Thanks in advance

Steve
