Plastering Straightedge SOLA 120 cm trapezoidal (03220201)

The SOLA plastering straightedge 120 cm with a trapezoidal profile is a hand tool designed for leveling and smoothing plaster, render and cement screeds on walls and ceilings. Its trapezoidal cross-section gives the straightedge increased rigidity and reduced flexing, enabling consistent pressure along the working edge to produce even surfaces and minimize rework during construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The trapezoidal profile provides high stiffness while keeping the tool lightweight enough for manual use. A 120 cm working length covers common wall and ceiling spans without frequent repositioning. The straightedge ensures a uniform contact surface for accurate screeding and helps reduce the time spent on subsequent finishing operations.

Suitable for

• Leveling and smoothing plaster on interior and exterior walls
• Striking off render and cement screeds
• Preparing surfaces before painting or wallpapering
• Small to medium renovation and new-build projects

Key specifications

• Working length: 120 cm
• Cross-section: trapezoidal profile for enhanced rigidity
• Primary use: manual plastering and screeding
• Suitable for walls and ceilings
• Material: durable construction appropriate for plastering tools

How to use

Place the SOLA straightedge on the plaster or render starting at a reference plane or guide. Apply even pressure and draw the straightedge along the surface to strike off excess material, maintaining a steady angle and motion to achieve a flat finish. For longer runs, use adjacent passes with overlapping edges to maintain alignment. Clean the working edge after use to prevent buildup that could affect future accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use the straightedge in combination with guides or profiles when precise thickness control is required. Store the tool in a dry place and remove hardened material from the edge promptly to preserve straightness and extend service life.
