Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the wave-shaped notches?

The wave-shaped notches are designed to eliminate air pockets between the adhesive and the tile, ensuring superior coverage and a stronger bond.

Is this trowel suitable for small tiles?

While it can be used, the 13mm notch size and wave design are optimized for medium to large format tiles where more substantial adhesive coverage is needed.

How do I clean the trowel after use?

Clean the trowel immediately after use with water to remove adhesive. A brush can help clear the notches. Ensure it is dried thoroughly afterwards to prevent rust.

What type of handle does this trowel have?

It features an ergonomic DuraSoft handle, which provides a comfortable, soft grip to reduce fatigue during use.

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is constructed from premium grade carbon steel, known for its durability and performance.

Can this trowel be used with all types of tile adhesive?

Yes, it is compatible with most tile adhesives and mortars. However, always follow the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for application.

Why is the mounting made of aluminium alloy?

The Xtralite aluminium alloy mounting is used to reduce the overall weight of the trowel, improving maneuverability and reducing user fatigue.

Troubleshooting

Uneven adhesive spread

Ensure the notches are completely clean and free of dried adhesive. Check that you are holding the trowel at a consistent angle (typically 45 degrees) against the substrate.

Trowel feels heavy or cumbersome

Verify that the Xtralite aluminium mounting is intact. Ensure you are using a comfortable grip with the DuraSoft handle. For very large areas, consider taking breaks to prevent fatigue.

Adhesive not sticking properly

Confirm that the adhesive is mixed to the correct consistency according to the manufacturer's instructions. The trowel's wave notches are designed to maximize coverage; ensure the substrate is properly prepared and the adhesive is fresh.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures uniform adhesive coverage by eliminating air pockets.
  • Durable construction for professional, repeated use.
  • Ergonomic handle reduces user fatigue.
  • Lightweight design improves handling and control.
  • Optimized for medium to large format tiles.

Cons

  • Specialized notch design may not be ideal for very small tiles or thin-set applications requiring minimal coverage.
  • Requires proper cleaning to maintain notch effectiveness.
  • Carbon steel blade will require maintenance to prevent rust if left wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required. The trowel is ready for use out of the box.

Compatibility: This trowel is designed for use with various tile adhesives and mortars. It is particularly well-suited for medium to large format tiles (e.g., 12 inches and larger in any dimension) and applications where comprehensive adhesive coverage is desired.

Care: To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Clean After Each Use: Immediately after use, clean the blade and notches with water to remove any residual adhesive. A brush may be helpful for dislodging hardened material from the notches.
  2. Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, dry the trowel completely to prevent rust, especially on the carbon steel blade.
  3. Storage: Store the trowel in a dry place. Applying a light coat of oil to the blade can offer additional protection against rust if stored for extended periods.
