Platform Brooms
Heavy Duty Platform Brooms For Sale
Platform brooms make up a sizable portion of our range of commercial-quality brooms. A platform broom is a traditional term for a broom with a flat top and can include stiff brooms and soft brooms. Platform brooms are suitable for cleaning indoors and outdoors, depending on the bristle composition.
Within our extensive range of platform brooms, you will find brooms for everything from scrubbing decking to sweeping warehouses and classrooms. You will also note that there are many different sizes of broom heads available, allowing you to sweep large areas quickly or get into tight spaces that require a smaller broom.
Platform brooms are ideal for larger sweeping roles as they can be fitted with a steel stay, which supports the handle giving better control whilst sweeping. Fitting a stay is often done in commercial and industrial applications where the broom will work harder or be of a larger size.
Key Features To Keep in Mind To Get The Best Platform Broom Head For Your Needs
- Bristle Length - For deck scrubbing, short bristles are a great choice, medium length for slightly rough surfaces, such as tarmac, and long bristles for very rough surfaces and heavy deposits.
- Bristle Stiffness - Stiff platform brooms are better for agitating and removing stuck on deposits, whilst soft bristle platform brooms are perfect for sweeping large areas.
- Farmers - Workers in the agricultural sector will use stiffer bristled brooms, such as those in our outdoor and garden broom range, to shift stuck on mud and heavy dirt deposits from concrete yard spaces and pens.
- Builders - When cleaning down at the end of the day, a stiff PVC broom makes light work of damp sand and gravel on hard surfaces.

Bristle Length
For deck scrubbing, short bristles are a great choice, medium length for slightly rough surfaces, such as tarmac, and long bristles for very rough surfaces and heavy deposits.
Bristle Stiffness
Stiff platform brooms are better for agitating and removing stuck on deposits, whilst soft bristle platform brooms are perfect for sweeping large areas.
Broom Head Width
If you are shifting heavy deposits or really need to scrub, then a wide-headed broom may be too heavy to handle or reduce the pressure being applied, making the broom less effective, so it is best to go for a narrower broom if this is the case. If you are looking to sweep a warehouse, you will want to look for a larger broom so you can cover ground faster.
Bristle Material
There is a wide choice of bristle materials available for our platform brooms, including recycled plastics and natural materials; each product page will detail the benefits of the broom fill.
