HANDLES
Select wood for the natural choice
Each style of broom may require a specific handle in order for it to function well. Select a handle
length that comes to the user's chin. The thicker the handle, the stronger and more comfortable it is.
All threaded handles in this section are standard North American acme thread.
wooden handles
Wood handles offer great value, and they don't conduct electricity or
cold. Many professionals find that wood is the most comfortable and
tactile of all the handle materials. Wood can also be cut for a custom fit.
Note: The Flexsweep [FLEX] and [E] are replacement handles. For a
detailed account of these handles, please see the Professional, Firefly,

Metal and fibreglass have properties that can improve
performance when used for the right application.

steel & epoxy
Our steel metal handles are epoxy coated and are a good, lightweight and economical
alternative to wood. The added benefit is that epoxy coated handles have resistance to
chemicals and are considered non-porous.
aluminum
Aluminum handles offer excellent strength in a lightweight design. In addition, they have
great resistance to chemicals. The fit and finish on aluminum handles give the tool a very

fibreglass
Fibreglass handles provide a strong lightweight design in a very durable colour-coded
finish that will not chip or peel. We recommend colour-coding when you want to deploy
cleaning zones. These handles are non-porous and can be used in areas classified as wood
free such as the food service industry. The materials will not rust and the fibreglass does not
conduct electricity or cold. They make an ideal match for cold storage facilities.
