Ok, well I should have hot water by next winter so.......your new brush....has it been tested for hot water or will there be a hot model or will it be possible to easily redesign the brush for hot water? Luke
-
I wouldn`t worry Luke all brushes work better with hot water mate.
-
Just scared that with hot water it would be too soft or splay too much, Luke
-
Brushes that at the moment you think are useless will be reborn with hot water.

Hi Luke
We haven't specifically tested the brush for hot water. However, the bristle structure is such that it should still work just as efficiently when heated up. We are very close to having the brush available for retail sales, just tying down a few last details.
-
How close????? within the next two weeks??? :)

My initial post wasnt about when will it be here but a Window Cleaning question to benefit all users and people who want to buy the brush:

Alex, in the beginning you said your brush would be Dual trim, previous posts seem to suggest that it's just single, and dual trim optional or later. What brush will we be seeing soon? The Dual trim or single?
Thanks. :)

Hi GQC
Originally we were going to bring out a dual trim version first but in testing and talking to clients we realised that a single trim version would be more useful and be wanted by more people. We will be looking at bringing out a dual trim version, a large version and a sill version of the brush in the months after it's release.
-
Sounds great. Sorry for being out of the loop a bit, but what positive points will this brush have?
How is your testing with prototypes gone? Are you happy with the lightness, and the splaying of the brush? The Cleaning power? How tightly are the bristles packed? etc.
Thanks.

Morning GQC
We've been working with this brush now for about six months and it is by far my favourite brush. Am I happy with the lightness? No. I would like it to be half the weight! but seriously the weight is fine, it's about 240gm which is a little bit heavier than a Bentley but as the bristles will last about 10 times longer, I think it's an acceptable trade-off. For my taste, the splaying of the bristles is very good offering good corner coverage. I'm going to include a picture of the bristle density on one of my prototypes. On the finished brush the bristles are in black with a black stock.
-
YES YES YES
WHERE'S MY NEW POLE???
(Sorry going off topic there) ;D
-
YAY black brush black stock. ;D ;D ;D
Ahem, sorry, yes that looks like it should clean nicely! Hopefully this will be the best brush there is. 240Gm is very nice aswell, considering the Ionics multipole brush is 280 if I remember correctly, and that's already quite light in my opinion. Well done Alex. :)
@ Pj, it's done when it's done, he's unhappy about the delay aswell, he can't help it. I bet people asking him constantly will only make him less happy lol. ;D

Black is a good choice of colour as it will fit in nicely with more peoples poles, Luke

Does this brush come as standard with the SL-X price?

I highly doubt it, all their poles prices are without brushes or goosenecks. :)
-
I flippin hope so,and by the way all poles come with brushes in the price.
-
Do you all work for alex?
-

No they don't, not at Gardiners, the SL assemblies do, but for all the other poles it says :
Please select brush type
*Default drop down box is 'No brush included'.
-
No brush?
What am I going to do now?

Buy one? Brushes aren't too expensive, it's just that when added on top of a pole price, it looks like a lot. :)
