There are four main types of pole you can use for WFP work:
1. Fibreglass
2. Aluminium
3. Carbon Fibre
4. Carbon Kevlar

Choosing which one is right for you, comes down to how high the windows will be that you’ll be cleaning, how much money you have, and what characteristics you are looking for in a pole.

Fibreglass
These are the cheapest option.
Not really much use over 30ft as they become too heavy and flexible.
Tend to wear out fairly quickly.

Aluminium
More expensive than fibreglass.
Long lasting if looked after properly.
Over 45ft they become too flexible.

Carbon Fibre
More expensive than aluminium
Long lasting if looked after properly
Can be used up to 60ft
Quite heavy

Carbon Kevlar
Most Expensive
Good up to 60ft and remain rigid
Same weight as aluminium
