The Schwan mortar comb with wooden handle is specially designed for tiling and masonry work where precise and even mortar application is required. The comb is ideal for applying mortar before installing tiles, and it helps to achieve a good adhesion surface to the tile.
Grout combs are available in a variety of sizes and toothing options, such as 3 x 3 mm, 6 x 6 mm, 9 x 6 x 6 mm, 10 x 4 mm, half-round and other popular profiles. The toothing to be used is selected according to the size of the tile and the type of mortar. Longer versions (e.g. 40–60 cm) allow for faster work on larger surfaces.
The comb blade is made of durable steel and attached to a high-quality, ergonomic wooden handle. The wooden handle provides a comfortable and secure grip even during prolonged work. The durable construction and good balance make the tool ideal for professional use by tilers and builders.
Intended use:
Tiling: A grout comb is an essential tool for installing wall and floor tiles. The serrated blade ensures an even layer of grout and a good adhesion surface to the tile, preventing voids and improving adhesion.
Installation of waterproofing systems: In some applications, a comb is also used to evenly spread waterproofing compounds, ensuring the correct film thickness.
Floor leveling: Also suitable for the controlled application of leveling compounds or adhesives before installing floor materials, such as under plastic mats or parquet.
Features:
Several size and toothing options: Available in 3x3 mm, 6x6 mm, 9x6x6 mm, half-round and special profiles – suitable for different tile types.
High-quality blade: Made of galvanized steel – resistant to use and moisture.
Ergonomic wooden handle: Provides a good grip and a pleasant working feel.
Different lengths available: 28 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm – suitable for the size of the object.
Precise work result: Ensures even mortar application and optimal adhesion.
Schwan Plaster Comb User Manual:
Choose the appropriate toothing for the comb according to the size of the tile and the mortar.
Apply the mortar to the substrate with the smooth edge and then level it with the serrated side.
Work in small sections so that the mortar does not have time to dry before installing the tile.
Clean the comb carefully after use – drying the mortar will reduce accuracy.
Store dry and protected from impacts.
How to choose the right trowel:
Tile size: Small tiles = small teeth (e.g. 3x3 mm), large tiles = larger teeth (e.g. 9x6x6 mm).
Mortar type: Thicker mortars require a larger toothing.
Installation surface: Floor and wall surfaces may require a different size comb – choose accordingly.
Working area: A longer comb is suitable for large surfaces and speeds up work.
Selection of tooth size according to tile type
Choosing the right trowel tooth size is crucial for successful tiling. The right tooth size ensures sufficient mortar volume and good adhesion under the tile, preventing the formation of cavities and improving the durability of the final result.
The instructions below will help you choose the right toothing according to the size of the tile:
Small mosaic and wall tiles (less than 100 x 100 mm):?? Recommended toothing: 3 x 3 mm or 4 x 4 mm?? Applications: Small wall tiles, kitchen gaps, mosaics?? Benefit: Ensures a thin but even layer of mortar without overfilling.
Medium-sized tiles (100 x 100 mm – 300 x 300 mm):?? Recommended toothing: 6 x 6 mm or 8 x 8 mm?? Applications: Bathroom wall and floor tiles?? Benefit: Provides sufficient grout, but keeps the work light and precise.
Large tiles and floor tiles (over 300 x 300 mm):?? Recommended toothing: 9 x 6 x 6 mm, 10 x 4 mm or larger?? Applications: Floors, large wall tiles, stone and porcelain tiles?? Benefit: Provides more grout to fill in the unevenness of the tile's underside and improve adhesion.
Special tiles and uneven surfaces:?? Recommended toothing: Semi-circular or trapezoidal toothing (e.g. 10 mm rounded)?? Applications: Natural stone tiles, areas where a large amount of mortar is required?? Benefit: Particularly suitable for thick and irregular tiles and uneven surfaces.
?? Tip: If you are using particularly large tiles (e.g. over 600 x 600 mm), we also recommend the "buttering & floating" technique, i.e. applying the mortar to both the substrate and behind the tile.
