Full details

Its primary benefit is the consistent 8x8x8mm notch size, ensuring even adhesive coverage for a strong bond.

FAQs

What type of tiles is this trowel best suited for?

This trowel is best suited for fixing regular-sized ceramic or porcelain tiles on internal walls and floors in dry areas.

Can I use this trowel for bathroom floors?

It can be used for bathroom floors, but only in areas that are not exposed to direct water or excessive moisture, such as outside the shower enclosure.

What is the purpose of the square notches?

The 8x8x8mm square notches are designed to create a consistent and even spread of tile adhesive, ensuring good adhesion and preventing air pockets.

Is the handle durable?

Yes, the handle is made of cast aluminium and is 6-spot rivet mounted for durability and secure attachment to the blade.

How should I clean the trowel?

Clean the stainless steel blade with water immediately after use to remove all adhesive. Allow it to dry completely before storing.

What does 'stainless steel' mean for durability?

Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, meaning the blade will maintain its integrity and performance over time, especially when properly cared for.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not spreading evenly

Ensure the trowel notches are clean and free from dried adhesive. Check that the adhesive consistency is correct according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Trowel feels uncomfortable during use

Ensure you are holding the trowel with the comfort grip correctly. Take short breaks during prolonged use to rest your hand.

Rust spots appearing on the blade

Although stainless steel offers resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances can cause staining. Clean thoroughly and dry completely after use. If spots appear, they can often be gently removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
