Self-leveling trowels are key tools specifically used for self-leveling floor construction. They are mainly used to evenly spread self-leveling materials on the floor and control their thickness. Through the scraping operation, the materials naturally flow to fill in the uneven areas of the floor, ultimately forming a smooth and flat floor effect.
I. Basic Definition and Function
Self-leveling trowels are a kind of manual tool with a special edge design, mainly used for self-leveling floor materials. Their core function is to achieve a uniform and flat coating of self-leveling materials (such as cement-based, epoxy resin-based, etc.) on the floor through scraping operations, eliminating the problem of unevenness on the floor.
II. Main Types and Characteristics
1. By edge shape classification
Flat edge trowel: Suitable for large-area uniform spreading, simple operation
Toothed trowel: With different specifications of tooth designs such as 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, etc., it can precisely control the thickness of self-leveling materials and ensure the construction quality
Mop trowel: Professional self-leveling construction tool, also known as "Hans mop trowel" or "Elite Peak Pusher Trowel", especially suitable for fine construction
2. Material characteristics
65 manganese special spring steel: Has high strength and toughness, can withstand repeated scraping during the construction process
Surface treatment: After chroming anti-rust and semi-cylindrical argon anti-rust treatment, it extends the service life
Humanized design: The blade surface and handle have engraved characters for easy identification and operation
III. Working Principle and Usage Method
1. Working principle
Self-leveling trowels do not simply scrape the material flat, but achieve floor flatness by controlling the material flow:
After applying the self-leveling material on the floor, use the trowel to scrape from the high point to the low point
The movement of the trowel causes the material to flow, naturally filling in the low-lying areas
The toothed design of the trowel precisely controls the thickness of the material, avoiding over-thickness or under-thickness
2. Correct usage steps
Preparation: Ensure the base floor is clean, dry, and free of cracks, and the interface agent has been applied
Material mixing: Mix the self-leveling material with water in proportion (usually mix for 5 minutes, pause for 2 minutes, and mix again for 2 minutes)
Pouring: Pour the mixed material evenly in the construction area
Leveling: Use the trowel at an appropriate angle and pressure from the high point to the low point to control the material flow
Bubble elimination: After leveling, use a bubble elimination roller to roll the surface to remove air bubbles and ensure a smooth surface
3. Operating skills
Angle control: The trowel should be kept at an appropriate inclination angle (usually 50°-60°) with respect to the floor to avoid scratching the base
Pressure adjustment: The pressure should be gradually increased to avoid excessive force causing uneven distribution of the material
Direction selection: The leveling should be carried out along the overall flow direction of the floor, usually from the far end of the room to the door
IV. Cooperation with other tools
Self-leveling trowels usually need to be used in conjunction with the following tools to form a complete construction system:
Interface agent: Applied before construction to enhance the adhesion between the base layer and the self-leveling layer
Bubble elimination roller: Used after leveling, with sharp tips, to eliminate air bubbles in the self-leveling mortar
Nail shoes: Worn by construction personnel to avoid leaving footprints on the self-leveling material
Laser level: Set up a height control line to ensure overall flatness of the floor
V. Common Misunderstandings and Precautions
1. Common misunderstandings
Misunderstanding: It is believed that self-leveling materials will automatically level when applied on the floor, and no trowel operation is needed
Fact: A toothed trowel must be used for leveling, otherwise, a true "self-leveling" effect cannot be achieved
Misunderstanding: The trowel should be used with greater force
Fact: Excessive force will cause uneven distribution of the material and even scratch the base
2. Important precautions
Base treatment: Before construction, ensure the base floor is clean, dry, and free of cracks, otherwise, it will lead to peeling and cracking in the later stage
Environmental control: The construction environment temperature should be controlled at 5-35℃, and the relative humidity should be 40%-80% Thickness control: The thickness of the self-leveling layer is usually controlled within 2-5mm. If it is too thick, it will affect the strength; if it is too thin, it cannot achieve a smooth effect.
Construction time: The mixed material should be completed within 15 minutes for construction to avoid the initial setting of the material affecting the effect.
Application scenarios
Self-leveling trowels are widely used in the following scenarios:
Industrial buildings: Grounds requiring high wear resistance and high compressive strength
Commercial spaces: Such as shopping malls, exhibition halls, cafes, etc., seeking modern minimalist style
Office areas: Providing a tidy and professional office environment
Residential decoration: Especially suitable for LOFTs, villas, etc., which pursue industrial style in home environments
