Big floors, big trowels - Tile Advice

[Flintstone]

I've seen these large trowels for flooring on most tiling tool sites, does anyone use one? Do they make trowelling faster and more consistent ?

 

[GoneGuy]

I’ve used a raimondi trowel which is nearly twice as long as a standard trowel to comb adhesive on the back of a large format tile and found it quicker.

I use only 13x36

think it's a 20mm round notch about twice the length of a normal one. Took a bit of getting used to but now find it great

I've got one Andy...15mm round notch, wouldn't say its been used for quite a while and no quicker than a standard length trowel imo anyway..

That's a whopper! Think I'll give one a try. The u notch trowels give great coverage

I like longer trowels mostly use the Marshalltown longer ones , they are in between the regular size and the larger ones like the raimondi pictured above

Lightweight adhesive and a standard size trowel = faster than a mahooooisive giant trowel and sandy adhesive.

Big trowels are like these imo:
