Stainless Steel Notched Trowel Kubala 130×270 mm, Notch 12×12 mm

The Kubala Stainless Steel Notched Trowel 130×270 mm with 12×12 mm square notches is a hand tool designed for applying adhesives, mortars and levelling compounds with controlled thickness. The stainless steel working plate measures 130×270 mm, providing a flat, durable surface that resists corrosion and maintains its shape during repeated use. The 12×12 mm square notches create uniform ridges in the applied material to ensure consistent coverage and reliable bonding for tiles, floor coverings and other construction materials.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, while the rigid plate keeps notch geometry stable for even material distribution. Square 12×12 mm notches deliver consistent adhesive ridges, reducing the risk of voids and improving tile adhesion. The plate size balances coverage area and control, allowing efficient application on medium-sized surfaces without compromising precision.

Suitable for

• Tiling: ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles
• Floor covering installation requiring uniform adhesive layer
• Applying levelling compounds and floor mortars in repair work
• General construction tasks where controlled adhesive spread is needed

Key specifications

• Working plate material: stainless steel
• Plate size: 130 × 270 mm
• Notch shape: square
• Notch dimensions: 12 × 12 mm
• Suitable for adhesives, mortars and levelling compounds

How to use

Ensure substrate surfaces are clean, dry and structurally sound before applying adhesive. Spread the chosen adhesive onto the substrate with the flat side of the trowel, then hold the trowel at a consistent angle (typically 45 degrees) and comb through the adhesive using the notched edge to form uniform ridges. Apply tiles or floor coverings into the ridged adhesive and press to achieve full contact; adjust angle and pressure as needed to obtain the required adhesive coverage and bed thickness. Clean the trowel after use to prevent material buildup.

Usage recommendations

For best results select the 12×12 mm notch size when manufacturer's instructions for the chosen tile adhesive or mortar specify a medium to large notch; use slower-setting adhesives if working over large areas to maintain open time. Store the trowel dry and wipe clean after each use to preserve the stainless steel surface and maintain notch precision.
