If you like the rectangular Vikan brush , then why not try the new MonoFilament rectangular Vikan brush.

I know this is going to be a silly question/s but what is the difference between flocked and mono fillament (if I have that right)

I think I am going to get a swivel brush. Would also like light brushes for windows and also a good brush for con. roofs.

Hi macmac

Yes we do stock them and the dimensions are identical to the older flocked version.  However it is slightly lighter.

Hi Tony

Flocked means that the ends of each bristle are slightly crushed giving a softer effect on the brush.  Monofilament means that the bristle stays intact right to the end.

Thanks Alex

So which is better for normal windows and which for conservatory roofs etc.

The flocked, like alex said are crushed/split at the ends, this makes the ends very soft almost like fur. this property is excellent for spreading/holding water all the way around the brush giving good cleaning & rinsing right to the edges. the downside to this is that the flocked ends also retain dirt, flakes of paint etc. so regular cleaning of the brush is essential. For this reason (with all the cobwebs etc around at the mo') i'm going to try the new monofilament brush. my biggest problem is that 75% of my work is sash windows & it is essential to get plenty of water right up underneith the top sash to flush all the dirt out (as this is usually where most of the dirt collects on sash windows) & the flocked brush with it's water-retaining properties is excellent for this & being rectangular gets right into the corners too.
So, i'll order one up & see how it goes.
