Product Overview
This floor nozzle brush strip is a custom-formed metal channel brush used around the cleaning head of a vacuum cleaner. It maintains controlled contact with the floor, guides loose dust towards the suction opening and helps regulate the air gap beneath the nozzle.
The brush can be manufactured for a new floor nozzle or reproduced from an existing component. Its shape, dimensions and filament configuration are determined by the nozzle profile and intended floor surface.
Floor Nozzle Brush Strip Design and Function
A straight metal channel strip brush can be bent to follow different nozzle contours. Available configurations include:
- Straight brush strips
- Rectangular frames
- Circular or cup-shaped brushes
- Angled and partially closed profiles
- Custom shapes based on a drawing or sample
For a fully circular configuration used in sealing or cleaning, see our cup strip brush.
Different formations allow the brush to maintain contact around the required section of the nozzle. Depending on its design, the brush performs three related functions:
- Air-Gap Control: Helps maintain the intended clearance between the floor and nozzle.
- Dust Collection: Directs loose dust and debris towards the suction area.
- Surface Contact: Loosens particles from hard floors, carpets and floor joints as the nozzle moves.
Backing and Filament Materials
The brush is produced from a metal channel strip formed to match the vacuum cleaner nozzle. Stainless steel backing is commonly selected where moisture resistance is required, while galvanized steel can also be supplied where appropriate.
Available filament materials include:
- PA Nylon: Resilient synthetic filament suitable for repeated floor contact.
- Polypropylene: Lightweight filament with good moisture resistance.
- Horsehair: Flexible natural filament commonly selected for gentle contact with hard floors and fine dust.
Filament diameter, exposed height and density can be adjusted according to the required stiffness, floor clearance and cleaning action.

Custom Manufacturing
Each floor nozzle brush strip can be manufactured for a new nozzle design or as a replacement for an existing component. For accurate production, please provide:
- Overall brush dimensions
- Required shape and bending radius
- Metal channel size
- Filament material and height
- Installation position
A dimensional drawing, physical sample or floor nozzle can be used to confirm the profile. Sample production is available for fit and functional testing before volume manufacturing.
Typical production time is within one week, depending on the shape, material availability and order quantity.
Packaging
Brushes are normally packed in small individual boxes according to their size and shape. A typical inner box contains approximately 4–10 pieces, with multiple boxes consolidated into an outer carton.
The packing quantity may be adjusted for larger, irregular or easily deformed brush profiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a floor nozzle brush strip do?
It maintains contact with the floor, guides loose debris towards the suction opening and helps control the air gap beneath the vacuum nozzle.
Which brush shapes can be manufactured?
Straight strips, rectangular frames, circular or cup shapes, angled sections and other custom contours can be produced from a drawing or sample.
Which filament material should I select?
Nylon is suitable for resilient repeated contact, polypropylene provides good moisture resistance, and horsehair offers flexible contact for hard floors and fine dust. Selection depends on the floor surface and required stiffness.
Can you reproduce an existing vacuum cleaner brush?
Yes. A replacement brush can be manufactured from an undamaged sample or dimensional drawing. The complete nozzle may also be supplied for fit checking.
Can the filament height and density be customized?
Yes. Filament diameter, exposed height, density and stiffness can be adjusted according to the nozzle clearance and required cleaning action.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide the brush shape, dimensions, backing material, filament material, exposed filament height, installation method and required quantity. Photos and a sample are helpful when no drawing is available.
