Trowel FAQs
What type of trowel should I use for applying tile adhesive?
A notched trowel is best suited for tile adhesive, with the notch size chosen based on tile dimensions. Larger tiles require larger notches to ensure full coverage. Square or U-shaped notches help regulate how much adhesive is transferred to the surface, aiding in bond strength and levelling.
What’s the difference between a margin trowel and a pointing trowel?
Margin trowels have straight edges and are used for spreading or scraping materials in tight or awkward spaces, such as corners or between fittings. Pointing trowels, on the other hand, have a triangular blade and are primarily used for filling joints in brickwork or repointing mortar.
Can I use the same trowel for plaster and concrete?
While it's technically possible, it's not recommended. Plastering trowels are designed for smooth, lightweight materials and fine finishes, whereas concrete and resin trowels are built for heavier mixes and thicker application. Using the correct tool improves efficiency and finish quality while preserving the tool’s edge.
