About This Product
Slanted Ridges for Maximum Adhesive Coverage
The Raimondi® Slant Ridge Notched Trowel uses slanted, rounded notches that create adhesive ridges designed to overlap and collapse as tile is placed. This promotes maximum adhesive coverage beneath tile and slabs while helping eliminate air pockets that can compromise installation performance.
Improved Coverage for Large Format Tile
The 11" x 5-1/8" trowel provides approximately 30% more coverage with each pass compared with a 11" x 4-3/4" trowel, making it well suited for large format tile installation. The 13/32" slant ridge notch supports consistent adhesive distribution across larger tile and slab surfaces.
Reduced Air Pockets Beneath Tile and Slabs
Collapsing the adhesive ridges helps reduce trapped air beneath the installation. This can help limit water infiltration in outdoor floors and swimming pool applications, reduce concentrated-load breakage risks with thin 3-7 mm slabs, and improve heat transmission in installations over underfloor heating systems.
Rounded Notches for Consistent Adhesive Ridges
The rounded notch profile reduces the tendency of adhesive to bind in the notch corners and pull away previously formed ridges during troweling. Keeping the adhesive ridges intact supports more consistent mortar placement before the tile or slab is embedded.
Rust-Proof Stainless Steel Construction
The trowel is manufactured from 100% rust-proof stainless steel for durability in professional tile installation environments. A rubber handle mounted to a die-cast aluminum core provides a durable grip and support structure for repeated use.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slant ridge notched trowel used for?
A slant ridge notched trowel creates angled adhesive ridges that overlap and collapse when tile or slabs are embedded. This promotes more complete adhesive coverage and helps reduce air pockets beneath the installation.
What size notch does the Raimondi Slant Ridge Trowel have?
This model has a 13/32" slanted and rounded notch.
Is this trowel suitable for large format tile?
Yes. Its 11" x 5-1/8" working size provides approximately 30% more coverage per pass compared with a 11" x 4-3/4" trowel, making it particularly useful for large format tile and slab installation.
Why are the notches rounded?
The rounded notch profile reduces the chance of adhesive binding in the corners of the notch and pulling away the ridges during troweling. This helps maintain consistent adhesive ridges across the installation surface.
How does the slant ridge design help reduce air pockets?
The angled adhesive ridges are designed to overlap and collapse as the tile or slab is placed, promoting more complete adhesive contact and reducing trapped air beneath the installation.
Can the trowel be used for outdoor tile and swimming pools?
Yes. The improved adhesive coverage and reduction of air pockets are beneficial for outdoor floors and swimming pool installations where trapped air can contribute to water infiltration problems.
Is the Raimondi Slant Ridge Trowel suitable for heated floors?
Yes. Reducing air pockets beneath the tile improves contact through the installation assembly, which supports better heat transmission from underfloor heating systems.
Is the trowel rust resistant?
Yes. The trowel is manufactured from stainless steel described by Raimondi as 100% rust-proof.
