Square Notch Trowel for Tile Installation
The KRAFT TOOL square notch trowel is designed for applying thin set mortar to ceramic and quarry tiles. Its carbon steel blade delivers a smooth finish on tile surfaces during installation. The 11 inch length and 4 1/2 inch blade width suit standard tiling tasks. A ProForm soft grip handle provides comfort during extended use on flooring projects.
Practical Limits of Square Notch Design
The square notch pattern creates uniform ridges of adhesive for consistent coverage on flat tile backs. This notch geometry works with standard thin set mortars used for ceramic and quarry materials. The fixed notch size determines the mortar bed thickness and cannot be adjusted for larger format tiles. Users must match the trowel to the specific tile and mortar manufacturer recommendations.
Installation Ease and Common Issues
The lightweight aluminum mounting with compression fit rivet construction keeps the tool easy to maneuver across the work area. The soft grip handle reduces hand fatigue during repetitive spreading motions. Carbon steel blades require cleaning before mortar hardens to prevent buildup that affects notch performance. Improper cleaning leads to uneven ridges and poor tile adhesion on subsequent jobs.
