I can see the advantage of using double a - frames over a standard ladder in certain situations, but why do i not see anyone using them, is it just because they are more expensive?

For me it was cost.

Hi,

Plenty of window cleaners with points around Surrey way. I think it may be when a window cleaner starts up, what with money being tight they opt for the cheaper open ended version & progress to a pointer when money is more plentifulL.  With a pointer you can work at the same height as the window & not have to reach up to them small openers, also less moving the ladder per window.

They both have there uses but a pointer is the better type.

Th cost for me but if you are just starting out then i'd go for a set of decent aluminium double pointers. They are well worth it.
