Trowel Types and When to Use Each One

Notched trowel — the most essential tool for laying tiles. The notches spread tile adhesive evenly and create the perfect bonding bed. Suitable for ceramic, porcelain, and all tile types. A standard jctop notched trowel costs ₪21 incl. VAT, comes in 120×280 mm — ideal for most tiling jobs.

Rubber float — not for adhesive, but for grout (fuga). After tiles are laid, the rubber float presses grout into the joints with even pressure. The soft rubber handle maintains control and prevents scratching the tile surface. ₪46 incl. VAT — an investment that pays off in finish quality.

Stainless steel trowel — for plastering and finishing work. The polished stainless blade is rust-resistant and delivers a smooth, refined finish for plaster and tiling. ₪64 incl. VAT — the choice of professional plasterers everywhere.

💡

💡 Pro Tip

For standard tiling, start with a 28×12 cm notched trowel for tiles up to 30×30 cm. For large-format tiles (60×60 cm and above), switch to a 60 cm notched float — the wider coverage ensures even distribution and prevents hollow spots beneath the tile.

Practical How-To: Notched Trowel Tiling — Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the base — ensure the floor is clean, dry, and level. Pro tip: apply a thin adhesive layer (back-butter) directly on the tile back for maximum bond, especially with porcelain.

Step 2: Apply adhesive — draw the notched trowel at a 45–60 degree angle across the floor, using consistent arcing strokes. Correct trowel angle creates uniform ridges that ensure 85%+ tile coverage — the minimum requirement in Israeli construction standards.

Step 3: Lay the tile — press the tile down with a slight twisting motion. Check for voids underneath by tapping. After 24 hours of adhesive curing — switch to the rubber float and pack grout into the joints. Clean excess grout immediately before it dries to save hours of cleanup later.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

What is the difference between a trowel and a float?

A trowel (מאלג') is a wide tool, typically 28–60 cm, for spreading adhesive, plaster, and grout over large surfaces. A float/spatula (פצקה) is narrower, for precision work in corners and details. Both are essential in any finisher's toolkit.

Which trowel is best for large format tiles (60×60 cm and above)?

For large tiles, use the black plastic float 60×12 cm (₪12 incl. VAT) — the wide blade ensures even adhesive coverage and prevents hollow spots under large tiles.

Can a rubber float be used for tile adhesive?

No — rubber floats are designed for grout only. For tile adhesive, use a notched metal or plastic trowel. Using the wrong tool results in poor bonding and an unprofessional finish.

How much does a basic tiling kit cost?

A basic tiling kit includes: notched trowel (₪10–₪21), rubber grout float (₪46), hand trowel (₪9–₪10). Total ₪65–₪80 incl. VAT — a one-time investment that lasts for years.

How do I clean a rubber float after grouting?

Clean the rubber float immediately after use with a damp sponge and water. Dried grout is difficult to remove and can damage the rubber's flexibility. Never soak a rubber float in water — the rubber will swell.
