Sealey BM24RS Rubber Floor Squeegee with Wooden Handle, 600mm, Brown

Product Information

As squeegees are designed to shift water droplets, snow and ice may be too tough for them. Whilst a squeegee may work to clear a light snowfall for heavier or compacted snow use a snow shovel or scraper as this could damage your squeegee. Final Thoughts Before we get into the details, I want to point out that there is no right or wrong squeegee and these results are purely based on the experience we have with each squeegee handle over a long period of time. Each handle is scored using the same criteria; If it’s concrete or paving slabs then a heavy-duty rubber is required to ensure the head doesn’t wear away after a few uses. Cost The metal handle squeegee is number 1 for a reason! So much so that we are currently in the process of exchanging (nearly) all of our squeegees over to the metal ergonomic handles.

Be cautious when using any product on your vehicle if it doesn’t specify that it’s safe to do so. If the material is slightly rough you can end up scratching the paintwork which is very expensive to fix. Only use products on a car that are designed for the job. Should I put the head in the dishwasher? If you’re looking for a multi-purpose tool that does both mopping and squeegeeing then the Oxo Floor Mop is the perfect choice. The positives of a DIY squeegee is that you can adapt the shape and length of the handle and choose your squeegee blade to suit your printing style. The negatives are minimal but if we must think of something that annoys us about this squeegee it would be the noise it makes during a print run. I can’t put this into words so please watch our YouTube video where we will demonstrate this little irritant in full.

The material of the head part of the squeegee is important as you need to ensure you choose the right design for the job at hand. Because of the secure fit of the head to the handle, this squeegee isn’t very flexible. This makes it harder to use in tight spaces so better for an open area like a garage or an open plan wet room and shower squeegee. Purple: Hard Blade. Suggested mesh count is 90T-160T. Ideal for substrate printing including paper, board, metal and ceramics printing. Allows a good amount of pressure to increase definition to your artwork and harsh solvent based inks. Ideal for photographic work and fine lines. Suitable for most inks and for non absorbent surfaces. The positives of the metal ergonomic handled squeegee is the comfort to print with it, the lightweight feeling, the sturdy structure, the ability to change the blade easily… the list goes on!

The sponge head folds up and sits on elevated feet for storage so it won’t stay damp and end up mouldy. The badass squeegee is one of the first ergonomic squeegee handles that we could get our hands on. It has 2 handles that are created to relieve pressure off the printers wrists while still giving a solid and even print.Squeegees can vary a lot in price and quality and it can be difficult to know where to begin when you set out to buy a new one. To help you out I’ve tried and tested 5 of the best squeegees available in the United Kingdom and have compiled this handy guide to help you choose The double foam lip is scratch free and can be used on any surface from laminate to wooden floors, wet room floors, and even heavy duty floors like in the garage or patio. The double foam wiper will be sure to remove all water and there is a non-slip rubber handle for ease of use. A window cleaner or tiled surface needs to be a soft foam maybe with an added rubber scraper for removing excess moisture. The floor squeegee handle is made from a tough alloy and feels substantial to hold. It is very durable but only if used correctly.

Red: Softer General Blade. Suggested mesh count is 15T- 77T. Ideal for textile printing and high opaque designs and some general fine lines and detail. Suitable for Plastisol and Water Based inks. The positives of EZ Grip squeegee is that you can easily change the blade in house which will save time and money. Additionally the handles are moulded perfectly to your hand creating a very comfortable printing experience. Best for Textile Printing – We recommend 65 Red if printing onto dark garments. We recommend 75 Green for printing onto light garments and for general purpose printing.

If you’re needing it to clean windows or glass then a soft, scratch-free foam head is ideal. An extendable handle as well will help reach up into those corners. For more hard-wearing surfaces (like concrete) you’ll want to consider a rubber floor squeegee as these tend to be a bit more hard-wearing. The Chemical Hut has produced this heavy duty squeegee and it should handle tougher surfaces without any complaints. The positives of the BADASS squeegee handle is that you can easily print a large open area of mesh. The heavy weight of the squeegee combined with the comfort of the handles makes printing large areas a breeze! Green: Medium Blade. Suggested mesh count is 43T-77T. Ideal for textile and other substrate printing, finer detailed artwork. Suitable for Plastisol and Water Based inks.
