tiling trowel

Search the forum,
Flooring is the general term for a permanent covering of a floor, or for the work of installing such a floor covering. Floor covering is a term to generically describe any finish material applied over a floor structure to provide a walking surface. Both terms are used interchangeably but floor covering refers more to loose-laid materials.
Materials almost always classified as flooring include carpet, laminate, tile, and vinyl.

    Rubi trowels?

    Hi, I understand why Bal designed their thin bed solid bed trowel as they have although by the sounds of it people prefer the Rubi trowels. Would an 8mm square notched trowel suffice for wet areas or is a u shape version available? Thanks

    Best trowel for 10mm thick mosaic?

    The 'web' seems to recommend 4mm notched trowel for mosaics (porcelain) Is this correct and if so is the notch smaller than you would use on the floor to stop adhesive coming through the gaps? Many thanks for your help
