Wide Broom Head Metal Support Stay Brace Strengthening Bar – Key FAQs

• How do I know if this stay brace will fit my broom?
  It’s made for wide wooden platform broom heads, typically 400mm and above. If your broom is wide and uses a fixed handle, this brace is usually suitable.

• Is installation difficult?
  No. It’s a simple fit with basic tools. Mark the holes, pilot drill, then screw the stay into the broom head and handle for added rigidity.

• Do screws come included with the stay bar?
  No. You’ll need three suitable screws for fixing. Pilot drilling is recommended to reduce the chance of splitting the broom handle.

• Can it be used on any broom type?
  It’s primarily intended for wide wooden platform brooms. For plastic heads or different fixing styles, compatibility may vary depending on construction.

• When is the best time to fit the brace?
  Ideally when the broom is new. Fitting early helps prevent flex-related damage and reduces the chance of the broom head loosening or breaking over time.

• Does the brace add much weight to the broom?
  It adds only a small amount of weight, but noticeably improves stability and control, especially when sweeping heavier debris on rough surfaces.
