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

Product Information

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. They work by directing water towards the drain or outside so that the puddles thin out enough to evaporate dry in no time. 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 sponge head folds up and sits on elevated feet for storage so it won’t stay damp and end up mouldy.

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. 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 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! We have been screen printing t-shirts by hand for nearly a decade now. It’s about time we gave you our opinion on some of the most common squeegee handles on the market. This can vary with the product used. Most handles come in separate parts that simply screw together to adjust the length. Can I use it to clean the car?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. If you’re not sure what size you need, the best solution is to buy one with an adjustable handle so you can set the length to fit you. Squeegee Head Material What do you need this tool for? Whether it’s a wet room, tiles, laminate, wood, concrete or any other surface, the squeegee design needs to complement this. Are you needing a squeegee to help dry the wet room daily or will you just be using it once a month to clean windows? Green: Medium Hard Blade. Suggested mesh count is 77T plus. Ideal for textile and other substrate printing, finer detailed artwork and harsh solvent based inks. Suitable for Plastisol, Water Based, Paper & Board / Vinyl’s / Solvent Inks. Ideal for smoother surfaces.

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; 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. Blue: X Hard Blade. Suggested mesh count is 120T-200T. Ideal for substrate printing including paper, board, metal, ceramics and glass printing. This blade will allow a good amount of pressure to increase definition to your artwork, it will also limit the deposit of ink which is great for non absorbent surfaces and extreme solvent based inks. Ideal for photographic work and fine lines. Suitable for most inks and for non absorbent surfaces.

Plastic Squeegees

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. Being a mop design, it doesn’t squeegee the floor completely dry like the other models listed here, however you will end up with a sparkling clean floor. 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. The handle is a light aluminium so you don’t need to be super strong to use this as a window squeegee. 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.
