SUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way
What is a trowel and what does it do? I have often been asked what trowel size should be used with a certain size tile, in this video i try to explain I try to explain what a trowel actually is, and what its purpose is. A trowel may seem like a straightforward tool to use, but people often use it in the wrong way, if you understand what a trowel is supposed to do, it is easier to use the trowel in a proper and effective way. The most important determining factor that will dictate the type of trowel that should be used is the size of the trowel, however it is not a hard and fast rule. The shape of the tile, the pattern on the back of the tile, whether the tile is cupped and other factors might influence the trowel size selection. In general the larger the tile, the larger the notch size. There are also different shapes for the teeth or notch of the trowel, but here i am just explaining the basics.
