Selection of trowels
Toothed and smoothing trowel
A trowel differs from the other trowels in the degree of serration. A smoothing trowel usually has no teeth, while a toothed trowel (also known as a "tile trowel") is available with different degrees of teeth. The individual toothing of the tile trowel or the toothed trowel depends on the material to be processed as well as the substrates to be worked on with the respective trowel. There are also trowels that are half toothed and smooth on the other side. This means that the filler can be smoothed out without any problems on the one hand, but also applied evenly thanks to the serration.
Which trowel do I use?
We have many different trowels in our range. Which one you finally choose depends on the work you want to use the trowel for. A trowel is generally used to apply certain materials, such as tile adhesive, to substrates. The individual teeth of the notched trowel determine the height of the adhesive bed and thus how much tile adhesive is applied to the substrate. Trowels with small teeth are usually used for the initial application of the contact layer. This involves roughening the surface with the trowel teeth. This is needed especially in outdoor areas.
