Different lengths available: 28 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm – pick based on the job 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 place 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 (like 3x3 mm), big tiles = bigger teeth (like 9x6x6 mm). Mortar type: Thicker mortars need larger teeth. Installation surface: Floors and walls might need different sizes – choose accordingly. Work area: Longer trowel is great for large 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 gives enough mortar under the tile for a good bond, avoiding voids and making the job last longer. This guide helps 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: Ensures 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: Gives more mortar to fill tile underside irregularities and boost adhesion. Special tiles and uneven surfaces:?? Recommended notch: Semi-circular or trapezoid (like 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), also try the "buttering & floating" technique – spreading mortar on both the base and the tile back.
