TROWELING Meaning and Definition

1. Troweling is a verb that refers to the action of using a tool called a trowel to spread or smooth out a material, typically a type of mortar or plaster, on a surface. A trowel is a handheld tool with a flat metal blade that is used by tradespeople such as masons, bricklayers, and plasterers.

   When troweling, the tool is typically held in one hand while the other hand holds the material being spread. The trowel is then used to scoop up an appropriate amount of material and spread it evenly across the surface. This process often involves repetitive sliding or smoothing motions, ensuring that the material is applied uniformly and any uneven spots or imperfections are corrected.

   Troweling is commonly used in various construction and renovation projects, including applying mortar between bricks or stones, smoothing plaster on walls or ceilings, or even finishing concrete surfaces. The skill of troweling lies in controlling the pressure and angle of the trowel to achieve the desired texture or finish.

   Overall, troweling is an essential technique used in various trades to apply and manipulate different materials, ensuring that surfaces are level, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing. It requires practice and expertise to master the art of troweling, as it is often a critical step in achieving a high-quality and professional outcome in construction or other related projects.
