Floor trowel size? - TilersForums.com

[serval]

Going to be doing a floor with 600x300mm ceramic tiles.

The floor is fairly flat for the most part. There are a few areas where the level deviates by 1-2mm near a few of the corners.

Whats the best size trowel you'd recommend for this job?
Cheers

Those are some thin tiles!

10mm trowel should do fine with a skim on the back

What do you normally use?

You maybe able to use ten mm at the highest point off the floor ,then come off that and keep level

I would use a 12mm trowel most likely if the floor was very good. Not a 10mm. Very thin bed with 10mm trowel on that tile
