One Tool Provides Superior Coverage for Tile Applications

The MARSHALLTOWN LayFlat™ Notched Trowel features wave-shaped notches that eliminate air pockets between the substrate and tile.

Notched trowels are essential tools for tile installers. Their purpose is to spread thinset over floors and walls. The notches on the sides of the trowel create an even base of ridged mortar. Once a tile is placed, the mortar compresses, providing a complete bond between the tile and the surface, and this bond is what keeps tile in place for years. There are many notched trowels to choose from, all with different notch shapes and sizes. The choice is easy with MARSHALLTOWN’s LayFlat™ Notched Trowel, the one-of-a-kind tiling tool you want in your toolbox. This trowel is unique and will give you a superior bond between the tile and the substrate on both walls and floors.

There are three features of the LayFlat™ Notched Trowel that make this tool ideal for any professional or DIYer tile installer.

Unique Notch Shape

The tiling tool’s unique notch shape is a game-changer for tile installers. It features wave-like notches that create ridges. These ridges provide an overlapping and more easily collapsible action of thinset mortar which eliminates air pockets between tile and underlayment.
