Applications of Hand Trowels

Smoothing fresh concrete

Hand trowels are used for leveling and smoothing the surface of fresh concrete after it has been initially distributed. They help create an aesthetic, even and durable finish layer.

Finishing and removing irregularities

The tool enables concrete finishing and correction of local height variations, preparing the surface for further treatment or mechanical power-trowel work.

Working in hard-to-reach areas

Trowels are ideal for places where larger machines cannot reach — along edges, corners, walls and columns.
