Stainless Steel Notched Trowel Kubala 130 x 270 mm 6 x 6 mm

The Stainless Steel Notched Trowel Kubala 130 x 270 mm 6 x 6 mm is a hand tool designed for evenly spreading adhesives, tile mortars and levelling compounds. Made from stainless steel, it combines a flat rectangular blade with 6 x 6 mm square notches to create a consistent ridged bed of adhesive that supports predictable coverage and thickness. The medium-size blade (130 x 270 mm) balances reach and control for small to medium tile and flooring installations where corrosion resistance and easy cleaning are required.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, long service life and straightforward maintenance. The 6 x 6 mm square notches produce uniformly spaced ribs that facilitate even material distribution and repeatable adhesive thickness. The rectangular blade size offers a practical working area for laying tiles, preparing floors or applying levelling compound in confined to moderate spaces. The tool is suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users who need consistent results.

Suitable for

• Applying tile adhesive for ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Spreading levelling compounds and floor underlayments
• Small to medium-sized floor or wall tiling projects
• Adhesive work where a corrosion-resistant trowel is preferred

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Blade dimensions: 130 x 270 mm providing a medium working area
• Notch size and shape: 6 x 6 mm square notches for uniform adhesive ribs
• Intended use: spreading adhesives, mortars and levelling compounds

How to use

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry and prepared according to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions. Hold the trowel at a consistent angle (commonly 45°) and spread the adhesive across the substrate using the flat side first if needed, then comb the adhesive with the notched edge to form even ribs. Apply sufficient pressure to embed the adhesive while maintaining the notch pattern. When placing tiles, press and twist slightly to achieve full contact and the desired adhesive coverage. Clean the trowel after use to prevent material buildup and preserve the stainless steel finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the 6 x 6 mm notched edge where manufacturer guidelines call for medium-sized notches—typically for standard tile sizes and medium-bed adhesives. Match notch size to tile size and adhesive type to ensure proper coverage and bond strength. Clean with water and a mild detergent immediately after use and store dry to maintain corrosion resistance.
