Schwan plakspaan 280 x 130 x 0.7 mm met gebogen houten handgreep

On this page you can read what to look for when choosing a plastering trowel and for which work this size is useful. This helps you assess whether this model suits your way of working.

Size and blade thickness of the plastering trowel

At 280 x 130 mm the blade has a fairly large surface, so you can work a wide strip in one stroke. The blade is 0.7 mm thick. A thin steel blade gives more feel for the surface and lets you guide the trowel well across the area, while a thicker blade feels stiffer. Which thickness works well depends on the material and your own preference.

Plastering trowel with wooden handle: what makes the difference

The wooden handle is curved, so it sits better in the hand during longer working days. When smoothing, you apply pressure to the trowel, and a well-shaped grip helps distribute that pressure evenly across the blade. Wood also feels warmer and less slippery than many plastic grips, although that is a matter of personal taste.

For whom and for which work

The plastering trowel is described in the product description as professional steel tool. It is intended for smoothing and applying plaster material and is therefore suited to tradespeople in construction and renovation. For a different material or surface, another size or another trowel may be better. Also check the other trowels and spreaders in the same category.

Maintaining your tools

Clean the blade after use so that no residue dries on it, and store the trowel dry. A clean, flat blade gives the best smoothing results, and the wood of the handle lasts longer if it is not left wet for long periods.
