Title: vikan easyshine - georgian windows
Post by: concept on November 06, 2009, 04:51:31 pm
got an internal job, wooden framed georgian windows, my question is, would the vikan kit be suitable?

some windows are fairly difficult to access from floor, but small panes may prove difficult with vikan?

I used the Smart one from Lakeland-its smaller but the pressure needed would push the glass out of the frames or stress crack it ?  ::)

Buy a replacement head from gardiners to fit on the end of your vikan kit using an extension pole and cut it down to fit panes of glass.

bit of an expensive way to do it isn't it?

any other suggestions?
