Frequently asked questions about levelling tools
Which levelling tool is best for drywall joints?
For drywall joints, a flexible filling knife is highly recommended as it allows you to press the compound firmly into the tape and feather the edges smoothly.
How do I maintain and clean my stainless steel trowels?
You should wash your trowels thoroughly with clean water immediately after use to prevent the plaster from hardening on the blade. Drying the metal surface completely before storage helps maintain the tool's longevity and prevents surface rust.
What is the advantage of using a dedicated corner trowel?
A dedicated corner trowel is shaped to fit perfectly into 90-degree angles, allowing you to create sharp, clean internal or external corners much faster than using a standard flat blade.
Are these tools suitable for both DIYers and professionals?
Yes, our selection is designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional tradespeople whilst remaining accessible and easy to use for home improvement enthusiasts.
Can I use the same filling knife for different types of plaster?
While you can use the same knife, it is crucial to clean it meticulously between applications to ensure that different chemical compositions of plaster or filler do not mix and compromise the finish.
