tiling trowel

Am tiling kitchen floor very shortly. Has anyone got recommendations for best floor trowel types and makes? Am laying 600mm x 600mm porcelain tiles so from what I've seen a 10-15mm notched trowel is best, and rounded is better than square, but some people talk about rounded, notched ones being...

Hi All, I'm finally ready to tile my bathroom walls after getting all the prep done, Hardi 500 etc. The tiles I'm using are 500mm x 200mm x 8mm thick ceramic and will be fixed using a standard set bagged tile adhesive (sorry the name escapes me but was recommended on here) Can you please...

Has any one got the rubi 45 degree trowel and is it any good, I consider it every time I go into CTD and see it hanging up but never get it!

I'm about to tile the walls with 600/400 12mm Marble. Not sure whether to use 6mm, 8mm or 10mm trowels & wondering what you would use. Cement is Weber.set Plus, the walls are nice & flat (Dura WP over Hardie 12mm) but with a few lumps & bumps created by overlapping the WP etc.

Hey all, Would it be ok to use a bigger trowel when over boarding slightly uneven floor boards with hardy? Don't feel confident using SPF with a 6mm trowel, not sure if it will fill the voids :smilewinkgrin:

I'm soon to tile 25sq/m floor (concrete) with 600x300 porcelain tiles. What size and type of trowel should I use? I've read all sorts. Notched this, rounded that, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, etc. Please advise. Many thanks!

Hi guys, As we are all aware, tile and substrate dependant. The notches either grow or lessen.. How many do you carry in your tool collection? I carry about 7, all hung on the side of a gorilla bucket :smilewinkgrin:

In need of some new trowels. Mine have now had it! Got raimondis last and didn't think much of them. Anyone no of some deals on rubi trowels?

Just been through my van and found 6 trowels all slightly different but with the same depth to them so now decided to organize myself again! Generally I carry 4/8/10/13 and a 20mm trowels No preference to any brand and it got me thinking as to what everyone else is carrying around.

What one do you use?i have used tile right, rubi and find them very clumsy!! My favourite bucket trowel was a venitian marble trowel I just started using for tiling work but I lost it (£30 but worth the money). I recently got the small genesis one and find it excellent and good price to at 4...

Got one these to try

what would you recommend?

Hi there, this is my 2nd posting following my 1st one earlier this morning (solid bed or dot n dab) As I suspected everyone says to use the solid bed method, especially in wet areas. As I may go back to doing the tiling myself on some jobs is it acceptable to use a larger notched trowel...

Hi guys. I'm about to start tiling my bathroom. I've got 250 x 300 x 9mm tiles, using bal single part flexible which recommends thin bed solid bed trowel for application. I've searched and can't find what trowel will be right for the job. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Cheers

I have been trying out the Genesis Tiger trowel, yes the wobble notch item. It is said to enable you to get a solid bed of adhesive. In the past I have tried the Rubi 45 degree notch and the Raimondi slant notch but this is by far the best. It doesnt use as much adhesive as you would think and...

What do you do? mine is left hand bucket trowel on to right hand flat edge of trowel and plaster on to wall on vertical motion from batten up, repeat till whole wall is done at a height of 400mm up from start, then serrate in a vertical line enough for one course then slip up and over excess...

Just a little query on the old quarter inch notched wall trowel that BAL used to recommend but now they dont,so why were they right years back and now its not recommended the adhesive's are not much different today tiles are fixed more or less the same way,does this mean that they can get it...

From what I can gather from this very helpful forum, to fit 10mm thick mosaics, I need a 4mm trowel. It seems that to get a solid bed, you need a rounded notch trowel or is that on the larger sizes? Most of the 4mm trowels seem to be square notched. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys I'm installing 250 x 750 tiles in my bathroom can you advise what trowel size should I use (square or notched) The walls are hardie backer board and plasterboard Thanks in advance Simon.

Hi, I have a 10mm Rubi u notch trowel I was planning on using for floor tiles - could I also use these for the wall tiles - the wall tiles are 25 cm x 38 cm ceramic tiles - walls arent too bad, not 100% level but perhaps 5mm out at worse point? Thanks
