Trowels, Spatulas and Floats

Trowels, spatulas and floats are the hand tools of the bricklayer, plasterer and tiler: they are used to spread mortar, adhesive and plaster, and to level and finish surfaces.

Types available

• Trowels: in various patterns, such as London, English and round-nosed, with wooden or synthetic handle, also in stainless steel.
• Pointing trowels and finishing trowels: for finishing and precision work.
• Floats and notched trowels: for spreading adhesive under tiles and coverings.
• Spatulas: notched spatulas for adhesives, stainless steel spatulas and general-purpose spatulas.
• Smoothing floats and finishers: magnesium floats and step nosing tools.
• Handles and spare parts: aluminium and plastic handles for plastering tools.

How to choose

The choice depends on the job: for brickwork you need sturdy trowels, for tiling, floats and spatulas with teeth suited to the tile format and the adhesive, for finishing, smooth thin blades. Consider the blade material (steel or stainless steel) and the handle, which matters if you work for many hours. The brands available include Pavan, Co.Me, Rubi, Mass, Barikell, Fervi and Unifix.
