A floor trowel is a tool used for smoothing and leveling floor coverings. It consists of a rectangular plate with all sides angled at 45° and a fixed handle holder. The plate is made of aluminum. The size of the plate determines the area that can be worked on in one go. The handle length determines the reach of the tool. The floor trowel is used for a variety of floor coverings, including screed, tiles, parquet, and laminate. It is also used for smoothing joint mortar and fillers.
