Which Ettore channel should I choose?

Start with the channel type and size your work requires. If you are replacing a channel, identify your current handle before switching materials or moving to a wide-body model.

• Standard brass: The Ettore Brass Channel is a standard-body, clip-style option that uses rounded rubber.
• Standard stainless steel: The Ettore Stainless Steel Channel also uses a standard body, clips, and rounded rubber. Confirm the handle lists your chosen channel as compatible.
• Standard aluminum: The Ettore Aluminum Channel is a standard-body, clip-style option that uses rounded rubber.
• Wide-body aluminum: The Ettore Super Channel offers a wider channel body. It uses standard rounded rubber and brass clips; select a handle specifically listed to fit the Super Channel.

What size Ettore squeegee do I need?

Choose a channel that fits inside the window frame with room to maneuver. A 12- or 14-inch tool is a practical starting point for many residential panes; consider 16 or 18 inches for larger glass. Smaller divided panes need a shorter channel. For broad storefront glass, compare longer options while making sure you can maintain even contact across the blade. It's a good idea to have a variety of lengths on hand so you can be ready for any window. Available lengths vary by model.

See our window squeegee buying guide for more help choosing sizes and comparing channel types.

Do all Ettore handles fit all Ettore channels?

No. Match the specific handle and channel style, not just the brand name. Standard and wide-body models can require different handles. For example, the Ettore Contour Pro+ handle for brass or stainless steel channels is listed for those standard channels. Do not assume that listing also covers the Super Channel.

Check whether you want a fixed or pivoting handle, how the channel releases, and whether the handle fits your extension pole. Our channel and handle compatibility guide explains the differences between clip-style, clipless, and wide-body systems.

Which replacement rubber fits my Ettore channel?

The standard brass, standard stainless steel, and Super Channel models linked above all use rounded rubber. You can use Ettore brand rubber or any other brand of rounded rubber. A wide-channel body does not automatically mean T-shaped rubber. Check the rubber profile on the exact model before ordering, particularly if your setup includes a different product line.

Ettore replacement rubber by the dozen is listed for most standard brass, stainless steel, and aluminum squeegees. Choose the appropriate length and follow the channel's fitting instructions. Keep the required clips in place and inspect the rubber edge when persistent lines appear on the glass.

Should I buy a complete squeegee or separate parts?

Choose a complete Ettore squeegee when you need a matched starting setup. Buy individual parts when you already have a compatible handle or only need to replace worn rubber or a damaged channel. Check the product description for what is included before ordering.
