Window Squeegees, Handles and Rubber Blades

Choose the Right Window Squeegee for the Job

The best window squeegee depends primarily on the size of the glass surface and how you work. A narrower squeegee is easier to handle on smaller windows and around window muntins, while a wider squeegee covers more glass with each pass.

Common widths include:

• 25 cm: Suitable for smaller windows and glass surfaces where manoeuvrability is important.
• 35 cm: A popular all-round size that works well for many types of windows.
• 45 cm: Ideal for larger glass surfaces such as shopfront windows and glass partitions.

If you clean a variety of window types, it may be useful to keep squeegees in multiple widths.

Handles and Channels for Window Squeegees

You can choose a complete window squeegee or purchase the handle and channel separately. This is practical if you already have equipment and want to replace a component or customise the tool to suit your working style.

Both fixed and swivel handles are available. A swivel handle allows you to adjust the angle of the squeegee and can be especially useful when cleaning larger glass surfaces or working at difficult angles.

The channel holds the rubber blade in place and is available in different widths and designs. Always check that the channel is compatible with the handle before ordering. Not all parts are interchangeable, even when they come from the same manufacturer.

Rubber Blades for Window Squeegees

The rubber blade is one of the most important parts of a window squeegee. Over time, the edge wears down, which can cause water streaks to remain on the glass. It is therefore important to inspect the blade regularly and replace it when needed.

We offer replacement rubber blades from brands including Unger and Ettore, available in various lengths and specifications.

When choosing a rubber blade, consider the following:

• Correct length: Ensure that the blade matches the width of your channel.
• Rubber hardness: Softer and harder rubber compounds may be better suited to different temperatures and working methods. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Compatibility: Not all rubber blades fit every channel. Verify compatibility with your product range before ordering.

Keeping a spare rubber blade on hand is a good idea, especially if you clean windows regularly.
