When it comes to painting, whether you’re tackling high ceilings, floors, or tricky elevated spots, having the right tools can make all the difference. That’s where top accessories, like Tip extension poles and Pole guns come in. Designed to help you paint efficiently without the hassle of ladders, constant bending, or renting expensive lift equipment.
Here’s a look at two essential reach accessories that every painter should consider:
1. Spray Gun Tip Extensions
Spray gun extensions are a game-changer for both professional and DIY painters. These attachments extend your spray gun, allowing for greater reach and more comfortable spraying. They come in multiple lengths, including:
- 25 cm
- 40 cm
- 50 cm
- 75 cm
How Do Spray Gun Tip Extensions Work?
Tip extensions are attached to the end of a standard spray gun, extending its reach and making it easier to spray in high or low areas without changing your stance. The extension helps maintain a consistent distance from the surface, reducing overspray and improving accuracy. They are easy to attach and compatible with most airless sprayers.
Why Use Spray Gun Tip Extensions?
- Perfect for high ceilings – No need for ladders or scaffolding; reach tall areas with ease.
- Great for floors – Avoid bending down repeatedly by maintaining a comfortable standing position while spraying.
- Better control – Get even coverage on tricky surfaces while keeping a consistent spraying angle.
2. Pole Guns
If you frequently work in areas with extreme heights, a pole gun is a must-have. These are designed for hard-to-reach spaces that would typically require specialized equipment such as a cherry picker or scissor lift, which could cost you in the region of £600/day. A pole gun will cost you around half the price and can be used again and again.
How Do Pole Guns Work?
Pole guns function similarly to standard spray guns but with an extended pole attachment. This allows the operator to reach elevated surfaces without the need for ladders or lifts. The pole gun is designed to handle high-pressure spray systems, ensuring an even coat of paint over large areas efficiently.
Why Use a Pole Gun?
- Eliminate the need for expensive equipment rentals – Save money by avoiding cherry pickers and scissor lifts.
- Easily reach high surfaces – Whether it’s a warehouse ceiling or the upper levels of a building, a pole gun makes the job much simpler.
- Increased efficiency – Spend less time setting up and moving ladders or lifts, and more time getting the job done.
Final Thoughts
Investing in the right reach accessories can significantly improve your painting experience. Whether you need a spray gun extension for added flexibility or a pole gun for extreme heights, these tools can save time, reduce physical strain, and cut costs on additional equipment. If you regularly tackle large painting projects, these accessories are well worth considering!
