have seen pointer ladders being used.  when and where do you use pointers instead of step ladders??  thinking of getting some if worthwhile.... what height should they be? :-\

bay windows , stair wells , they are made to go on the corners allowing you to clean and wipe up with ease . All sizes are made if you just going to get a single a 8ft would be idea . extending ones are most handy.

Hi,

With point ladders you can put on the window frame work between glass to clean the whole window in one position & be level with it.  With an open top you can only put on window sill & will have to over stretch on windows to clean the tops.

Can you recommend a supplier?

 We used to get them from a small manufacturer in Hackney. They were great quality and they used to to carve your company name down the stiles.

I suppose that's an Elf and Safety issue now..... weakening them or something
