Floats and Finishing Trowels

Rendering Floats and Finishing Trowels Canberra

When it comes to rendering, having the right tools is essential to achieving a smooth, professional finish. Two of the most important tools in a renderer’s arsenal are rendering floats and finishing trowels. These tools ensure that the final product is level, even, and aesthetically pleasing. A rendering float can apply and smooth out the render. Meanwhile, a finishing trowel will remove imperfections and create a polished finish.

What is a Rendering Float?

A rendering float, also known as a plastering float, is a flat, rectangular tool that you use to apply and smooth your render. Typically made from a lightweight material such as wood or plastic, rendering floats come in a variety of sizes and shapes to suit different rendering needs.

The most common type of rendering float is the sponge float, which allows you to apply and smooth out thin layers of render. Sponge floats feature a soft, porous material that absorbs excess moisture from the render, leaving a smooth, even surface.

Another type of rendering float is the steel float, which is better for working on thicker layers of render. Steel floats use a durable, non-corrosive material such as stainless steel, and can withstand the harsh conditions of rendering.

When using a rendering float, it is important to choose the right size and shape for the job at hand. A larger float may be more efficient for covering large areas, while a smaller float may be better suited for more intricate work.

What Do I Use a Finishing Trowel For?

A finishing trowel or plastering trowel is a flat, rectangular tool that smooths out and finishes the surface of render. Finishing trowels typically have stainless steel builds or similarly durable materials. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes to suit different rendering needs.

Finishing trowels can remove any and all imperfections in the render, ensuring that the final product is smooth and level. They are particularly useful for smoothing out corners and edges, where a rendering float may not be able to reach.

When using a finishing trowel, it is important to use a light touch and to work carefully and methodically. Any mistakes made with a finishing trowel can be difficult to correct, so it is important to take your time and work slowly.
