Product Uses
Tile Setting and Tiling Jobs: Soft Grip Trowels are commonly used in the tiling industry for spreading adhesive on floors or walls before placing tiles. The trowels allow for an even, smooth application of mortar or tile adhesive, ensuring that the tiles adhere properly. They are also used for cutting notches in the adhesive to create better bonding surfaces.
Smoothing Concrete and Plaster:
Floats are typically used to smooth and finish concrete or plaster surfaces. Whether finishing a new concrete slab, smoothing drywall joint compound, or applying a thin layer of plaster, the float’s flat surface helps create a smooth, even finish. Its design ensures that the user can control the texture and consistency of the applied material, preventing bumps or irregularities.
Masonry and Mortar Application:
Soft Grip Trowels are essential for masonry work, particularly when applying mortar between bricks, stones, or blocks. The trowel’s pointed or rectangular blade allows for precise mortar placement, and the soft grip handle ensures ease of control during application. They also help with shaping mortar joints for a professional finish.
Finishing Drywall: When working with drywall, the trowel and float are used to apply joint compound, smooth seams, and finish corners. The ergonomic handle reduces strain when smoothing large areas of drywall, and the smooth surface of the float prevents uneven textures.
Plastering and Stucco Application: In plastering and stucco applications, both the trowels and floats are used for applying and finishing the materials on walls or ceilings. The float ensures that plaster is evenly distributed, while the trowel helps to spread, smooth, and shape the material for a flawless finish.
Decorative Work: These tools are also useful for decorative work, including faux finishes and surface texturing. The float can be used to create decorative textures on concrete surfaces, while the trowel is ideal for finer detail work in artistic plaster or paint applications.
