As customer preferences for tiles have changed over time, so have tile trowels. We have no doubt that our founder, Henry, would be amazed at the variety of notch sizes and shapes available today. We understand that if you\u2019ve been laying tile for a while, you might tend to stick with what you\u2019re comfortable with. But what if there was something better out there? At Goldblatt, we offer a wide variety<\/a> of trowel notch sizes and shapes. Here\u2019s how to be sure you\u2019re choosing the right Goldblatt trowel for your next professional tile project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right notch shape.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our pro stainless steel notch trowels<\/a> come with U-, V-, or square-shaped notches. The shape of the notch affects how much thinset the trowel will spread. A V-shaped notch will spread the least amount of thinset, a square-shaped notch will spread the most thinset, and a U-shaped notch is somewhere in between. Choosing between U- or square-shaped notches mostly comes down to personal preference, it depends how heavy you like to spread out your thinset. Since V-notches spread less thinset than similarly sized notches of other shapes, they are great for decorative varieties like mosaic tiles and glazed wall tiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
