The RaimondiĀ® Flow Ridge Trowel is a stainless steel tile trowel engineered to improve adhesive coverage through a slanted, rounded notch profile. The 3/8" ridge design helps collapse adhesive ridges more effectively when the tile or slab is placed, reducing voids beneath the surface.
By promoting consistent adhesive transfer, the Flow Ridge notch design supports uniform bonding, reduced air pockets, and improved performance in demanding installations such as exterior floors, swimming pools, thin slabs, and heated floor systems.
Key Features
- Slanted Rounded Ridge Notch: Designed to help adhesive ridges overlap and collapse for improved coverage under tile and slabs.
- Reduced Air Pockets: Supports full adhesive contact to limit voids that can contribute to water infiltration or localized load stress.
- Improved Load Distribution: Helps reduce stress concentrations, particularly when installing thin slabs between 3ā7 mm thick.
- Enhanced Heat Transfer: Full adhesive contact improves heat transmission in underfloor heating systems.
- Rounded Notch Geometry: Reduces adhesive binding during troweling, helping maintain intact ridges while spreading.
- Stainless Steel Blade: 100% rust-proof construction for long-term use.
- Die-Cast Aluminum Core with Rubber Handle: Provides strength, balance, and controlled handling during extended use.
