Adhesive Notched Trowel Complete with A2 Blade amtico & karndean

Product Information

Determining which trowel size is correct for your tile placement depends on both the tile itself and the substrate. More accurately, it depends on how flat the tile and substrate are. The less flat the tile is, the more adhesive you need beneath it, which means a larger trowel size. Above and beyond using the proper method to get proper coverage for a successful placement, your personal preference will help determine which specific tile trowel you use for different types of placement. Proper adhesive coverage meansa minimum of 85% total coverage beneath a tile for a dry area placement (most floors, fireplace, etc.) and 95% minimum total coverage in a wet area (showers, bath surrounds, etc.). Spare handles & blades available.

A 12mm square-notched trowel will accomplish the proper coverage in that instance. Visual inspection

A2 adhesive spreaders are used as a Karndean trowel or an Amtico trowel, also suitable for use on all other LVT’S U-notched trowels make it easier to keep adhesive out of the grout lines as you embed the tile. There is more space between the half-moon ridges with a U-notched than there is with a square-notched. This makes it easier to have the tile drop into the bed with the edge over an open area between the ridges than over the top of a standing ridge. Since the adhesive spreads out, rather than folding over first, it is less likely that adhesive will fill the grout line as you embed the tile. The size and spacing of the trowel teeth are the basis to measure tile trowel size. This tells you how much adhesive the trowel will leave on the substrate when you spread it out. The trowel’s tooth shape and spacing determines how much adhesive is sandwiched between the tile and substrate once the tile is fully installed.Lowest Prices on major brands!: Amtico; Luvanto; Karndean; Polyflor; Forbo; Cormar Carpets; Abingdon Flooring & others. The square ridges, put down with a square-notched trowel, tend to collapse over on each side when you embed the tile into the bed. Pushing the tile down into the bed of square ridges causes the ridges to fold over from the top of the ridge, then spread out.

x 1.5 is about right.....just measured one of several. I also noticed although the centres stay the same ( 3mm ) the depth varies probably due to different batches.

Since a 10mm U-notched trowel and a 6mm square-notched trowel will both leave a 3mm layer of adhesive mortar beneath an installed tile, why choose one over the other? When you calculate the amount of cupping in the tile to determine the properly sized trowel, you still need to visually inspect the coverage to ensure you use the proper size of trowel!
