But which type of trowel do you need exactly?
Let’s begin with standard trowels:
Stainless Steel trowels. You can use this trowel for anything you need. This type of trowel is recommended for white finishes since they don't leave discoloration on white parts, compared to other older non-stainless trowels that do leave bad results on white finishes.
Blue Steel Trowels: The blue steel trowel offers more flexibility on the blade, giving a smoother finish.
Standard Steel Trowels: These are common types of trowels, designed to last a long time. They might develop rust, and you would need to get rid of it using sandpaper or some oil.
Pointer trowels: This type of trowel is like a margin or traditional trowel but with a triangular shape. You may need one of these if you're working on tighter spaces.
Notched trowels: They are used in tile applications and can be used as a scratcher in the “scratch phase” of three-coat stucco.
Square Plastering Trowels: This type of trowel is special for when you are applying base coats and finishing them.
Basic square plastering trowels: They are wider and hold more material. They usually come in steel and stainless steel metal.
Small square plastering trowels: They are perfect if you're working on narrow spaces.
Outside corner trowels: They have a 90-degree sharp angle, and shorter flanges.
Inside corner trowels: There are several models that can be adjustable to get wider or narrower depending on the inside corner.
You known what are Concrete trowels
Concrete trowels are a must-have tool for any construction project that involves working with concrete. They are versatile and useful in various applications, including smoothing and leveling concrete surfaces, spreading mortar or plaster, and finishing decorative concrete surfaces. Concrete trowels are hand-held tools used for finishing concrete surfaces. They typically consist of a flat, rectangular or circular steel blade that is attached to a handle. Concrete trowels come in different sizes and shapes, depending on the type of application they are designed for.
