Does anyone know where to buy a 14 mm round notch trowel? - Tile Advice

Rosa · Feb 18, 2018

Hi!
Andy tiler here kindly adviced me a 14 mm round notch trowel for installing 60x60 porcelain tiles, but I can't find that size anywhere, including the online shops.
10x10, 20x15, 20x10 those yes, but not 14.
Does anyone know where to get it in Ireland or with delivery to Ireland?
Thanks.

10x10 is fine spread the tile as well loads of adhesion

Make your own from a 12mm trowel.

Or try a 13mm one...

cool

Bal make the u notch trowel you are after, called a solid bed trowel or a large format trowel, it’s brilliant, gives full coverage easy but uses some gear. A 12mm trowel will give a solid bed on this tile but a very thin one, your floor will need to be impeccable

Thanks guys!
The floor is not bad, but not impeccable, no more than 2 mm difference in some spots.
Simon I was yesterday in b&q but in round notch they have only 20 or 10 mm. Tom when you say make your own, do you mean it literally or is that a brand??

?

He means modify a trowel with the grinder to whatever size you want it. Another way to get the coverage and bed depth would be to use say a 10mm trowel on the floor, and on the back of the tile, with the lines going in the same direction. Should give about a 4 - 5mm solid bed, a bit there to play with.

Rosa · Feb 18, 2018

Ah wow, so literally make your own one! You guys are surely professionals, I'd lack the skills to do it myself.
Localtiler thanks mil for your advice. Can I ask you if a 20 mm round notch would leave approximately the same bed depth?

Flintstone · Feb 18, 2018

20mm wide x14mm deep round notch gives about 5mm solid bed yes

Rosa · Feb 18, 2018

Thanks localtiler, unfortunately I can only find 20x20 or 20x10. But from your answer I guess one would be too big and the other too small

Rosa · Feb 20, 2018

Hi localtiler, sorry I just reread your post and I realized you said Ban (i didn't cope it's was a brand) do trowels this size and how they are called. All this new terminology mixed with the usual language barrier and I get lost!

I google it now and hopefully I can find it.

One thing, does the expression "uses some gear" means this size is more difficult to use?

Thanks mil
