There are many different types of wiper blades available, for example: Standard wiper blades, Spoiler wiper blades, Flat wiper blades, Flat wiper Blade Upgrades (or Retrofit). Here we explain a little about the different types and their uses and applications. Not every type of wiper blade can be used on every type of vehicle - so use our vehicle search to find the correct types of wiper blades available for your car.

Flat wiper blades feature a totally new style and technology and are fast becoming the standard fit on new vehicles. These type of wiper blades do not have a metal 'coat hanger' shaped frame. Instead they have a tensioned metal strip running within the rubber structure of the wiper blade. This design allows for a flatter aerodynamic shape which reduces wind noise. The internal metal strip applies constant pressure along the length of the blade and has a built in spoiler. Being smaller than a conventional wiper it also provides less obstruction to the driver's field of vision.

All our Flat Blade Retrofit wiper blades have a special attachment built onto the wiper structure which allows this type of wiper blade to be fitted to cars with conventional hooked style wiper arms. No other alteration is required so upgrading is as easy as fitting standard wiper blades.
