Pro Series 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4" Square-Notch Trowel

The Pro Series 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4" square-notch trowel spreads and combs thinset for standard-size wall and floor tile. The 1/4" square notches lay a medium mortar bed that suits common ceramic and porcelain tile on solid, flat substrates.

Hold the trowel at a steady angle and comb the mortar in straight lines to leave even ridges, then press the tile in for full contact. The 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4" notch is one of the most-used sizes on the job, sized for everyday tile where a 1/2" notch would leave too much mortar. Match the notch to your tile and the setting material's instructions.

Pick the right notch and the mortar does its job — Tile Outlets stocks the trowels that fit the tile you're setting.
