    Kubala grout float review

    Well, I was sent one to review by a member on here @Lucas D and yes his post was right, it's a great float, very slim and light with a great sharp rubber edge which removes grout very well, I can't comment on its durability but if it lasts ok I'll probably get another.

    Kubala 10mm notched trowel

    just had the pleasure of using a kubala 10mm notched trowel, I found it lighter than my Rubi trowel. It was easier to clean as it's made of stainless steel and the handle is all plastic. I've only used it to lay 10m2 of floor tiles but will post another review in a few weeks time to see how well...

    BAL Kubala grout float review

    I received a kubala grout float to try and give a review. In comparison to my Rubi float it had the same footprint size. But I noticed it was a lot lighter and it looked thinner. I used it to grout 3.5m2 of floor tiles and found it incredibly light in my hand and was leaving very clean lines. I...

    BAL Kubala hand tools now in the UK

    I've been tiling for last 16 years or so. I've noticed that pro tilers use great tile cutters but often overlook hand tools. How often you bought trowel that lasted 2 jobs? I sometimes struggled with bad grout float for weeks. It all changed when I started to use Kubala tools from Poland. In...

    Bal Single Part Flexible-how long before using shower

    Hi all, As the title suggests really. I'm tiling a shower area above a bath using Bal SPF and noticed the instructions say you shouldn't use a shower for 2 weeks afterwards. Seems a long time to ask the tenant not to use his shower after it's finished-is it really necessary to wait that long...
