A floor scraper is a tool used for smoothing and stripping floor coverings. It consists of a rectangular plate with the short edge angled at 90° and the long edge angled at 45° and with a fixed handle holder. The plate is made of aluminum. The size of the plate determines the area that can be processed in one pass. The handle length determines the reach of the tool. The floor scraper is used for a variety of floor coverings, including screed, tiles, parquet and laminate. It is also used for smoothing grout and fillers.
