Softer bristles, covers more of a area and holds the water.

I've only used gardiner dual trim brush. But had never considered or noticed a brush making somuch difference to my work.
It scrubbed much better than than my vikan, bentley or old ionics brush. Was pleasantly suprised cos the bristles are soft and got in nooks and crannies very nicely.
The lightness of the brush was a bonus.

Marcus, I think you have 'gallery' spelt wrongly on your web site  ;)

Flocked might scrub better, but also holds more dirt. If you rinse with the brush on the window (as you should), you can't guarantee it will not leave spots. Maybe on 4 weekly maintenance cleans it wouldn't be much of a problem, but anything above that, I would recommend non flocked.

Very little difference in any of them. Flocked has the edge for me but only just. It seems softer on leaded windows and seems to have a little more power. Dual trim mono lets the water through the bristles faster and cleaner as does the single trim.
You wouldn't go far wrong with any of them.

As long as you have a plastic addapter the brush fits the brodex pole fine.

When you order just ask one of the girls for clarification.

I have a brodex pole and had no problem with the brush. Duel trim.
