I was thinking a gap exists with your brush range.
Extremes are 125grams
Sill brush is 225grams.
I was wondering an extreme brush with more bristles would be a great addition?
Something around the 170-180gram mark with jets,hose and connector.
Also I know it's only grams. Buy would plastic pencil jets ever happen? You did it with fan jets.........
Cheers

I have been pondering on this myself. I'll bump this up on my to do list.
Plastic pencil jets - can't see them being as durable as they need hammering into the brush stock.
-
Yes, mono-filament, dual trim. Thicker bristles.

Ah ok. Think I have an idea on pencils now tho ;)

Excellent. This would be a brilliant idea.
-
I would definately be interested in a lighter sill brush .
Now hurry up and get those 25ft extremes back in stock 😄
-
id rather see alex bring out a longer sill brush.
i think the 1s at the moment are good but would like a bigger 1

How much wider would you want on a Sill brush?
-
when are the extreme 25 back in stock ?.

Hi Alex,
Bought a 2nd sill brush from you to modify for sash windows - Will post piccys when done.
And a 'bumper' that only fits a normal brush, but hey ho lesson learnt...

you still got that cut down brush I did with 5 rows of bristles, if not ive still got original if you want a second look, I can send it back for your attention.
-
I would be interested to see an extreme style brush with more rows of bristles. Personally it wouldn't bother me if it was a bit heavier.
I've tried a couple of extreme brushes but I keep going back to dual trim flocked superlite cos the extreme's bristles are just too flimsy in my opinion.

Could they not be made as part of the manufacturing process in the brush stock?
-
There are four rows of bristles on an Xtreme, a fifth, central row would be interesting. Maybe even just slightly shorter than the inner two rows- the worlds first "triple trim" wfp brush!! :)

Hi s.w.c
Yes I have still got that cut down Sill brush, thanks. I might dig it out and have another play.

They probably could - although whether they could be made with the same precision as our current pencil jet range is another matter - 1.4mm, 2mm & 3mm
We also need to be able to fit Fanjets for clients when needed.

I have tried to get this made in the past but the current machinery can only do 2 different heights of material.

Think it already exists. Is this what you mean....

No Stephen, I was talking about WFP brushes, not yard brooms! ;)

LOL :D
Decided to trim up a sill brush this weekend PLUS i have three weight saving ideas. So will see what i can do :D
-
I'm up for a wider sill brush, better for using the aqua tap
-
I have an Xtreme dual trim mixed medium that's been trimmed so that the inner and outer bristles are the same length.
It feels better than the standard brush to me. It's a shame the bristles don't behave the same when they are wet. A dry brush feels perfect but goes floppy when wet.
Having said that I don't think there is a huge difference between any brush - they all do much the same but it's the weight that makes a good or bad brush.
-
A wider sill brush...about another 50mm. That will make it feel quicker over the glass but any more than that, could make it feel a bit cumbersome. And if you could keep the weight to a minimum. Can you make the brushes from carbon fibre rather than plastic? When the brush gets worn, could you offer a bristle replacement service?
OK...sorry i'll stop.
Thanks Alex

Although that looks a fine brush Stephen, i think you'll find the large stock on the brush leaves it at a weight disadvatage when compared with a lightweight slim stock brush ?
