The blade is made from durable steel and attached to a high-quality, ergonomic wooden handle. The wood gives you a comfy and secure grip even during long jobs. Its sturdy build and good balance make this tool ideal for pros like tilers and builders. Purpose: Tiling: The notched trowel is a must-have for installing wall and floor tiles. The teeth ensure an even mortar layer and solid bond for the tile, preventing voids and improving adhesion. Waterproofing system installation: In some cases, it's used to spread waterproofing compounds evenly, ensuring the right membrane thickness. Floor leveling: It works great for controlled spreading of leveling compounds or adhesives before installing floor materials, like vinyl or parquet. Features: Multiple size and tooth options: Available in things like 3x3 mm, 6x6 mm, 9x6x6 mm, semi-circular, and specialty profiles – fits different tile types. Quality steel: Made from galvanized steel – holds up to use and moisture. Ergonomic wooden handle: Gives a good grip and comfortable feel while working. Different lengths available: 28 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm – choose based on your project size. Precise results: Ensures even mortar spread and optimal adhesion. Schwan Notched Trowel instructions: Choose the right tooth size for your tile and mortar. Spread mortar on the base with the smooth edge, then comb it out with the notched side. Work in small sections so the mortar doesn't dry before you lay the tile. Clean the trowel thoroughly after use – dried mortar messes with accuracy. Store it dry and protected from impacts. How to pick the right notched trowel: Tile size: Small tiles = small teeth (e.g., 3x3 mm), large tiles = bigger teeth (e.g., 9x6x6 mm). Mortar type: Thicker mortars need larger teeth. Installation surface: Floors and walls might need different sizes – go with what fits. Work area: A longer trowel is great for big surfaces and speeds things up. Tooth size selection by tile type Picking the right tooth size for your notched trowel is key to successful tiling. The right notch ensures enough mortar under the tile for a strong bond, avoiding voids and making the whole job last longer. Here's a guide to help you choose based on tile size: Small mosaic and wall tiles (under 100 x 100 mm):?? Recommended notch: 3 x 3 mm or 4 x 4 mm?? Uses: Small wall tiles, kitchen backsplashes, mosaics?? Benefit: Gives a thin but even mortar layer without overfilling. Medium tiles (100 x 100 mm – 300 x 300 mm):?? Recommended notch: 6 x 6 mm or 8 x 8 mm?? Uses: Bathroom walls and floors?? Benefit: Provides enough mortar while keeping the work light and precise. Large tiles and floor tiles (over 300 x 300 mm):?? Recommended notch: 9 x 6 x 6 mm, 10 x 4 mm or larger?? Uses: Floors, large wall tiles, stone and porcelain tiles?? Benefit: Delivers more mortar to fill in tile back unevenness and boost adhesion. Specialty tiles and uneven surfaces:?? Recommended notch: Semi-circular or trapezoid teeth (e.g., 10 mm rounded)?? Uses: Natural stone tiles, jobs needing lots of mortar?? Benefit: Perfect for thick, irregular tiles and uneven bases. ?? Tip: For super large tiles (like over 600 x 600 mm), try the "buttering & floating" technique – spread mortar on both the base and the tile back.
