TROWELLING Meaning and Definition

  1. Trowelling is a verb that refers to the action of smoothing or finishing a surface using a tool called a trowel. A trowel is a flat, handheld tool with a rectangular blade and a handle, typically made of metal or plastic. It is commonly used in construction and masonry work to spread, shape, or level materials such as concrete, mortar, or plaster.

Trowelling can be used to remove imperfections, excess material, or air bubbles from a surface, resulting in a sleek and professional appearance.

    Trowelling is an essential step in various construction projects, such as floor or wall finishing, where a smooth and level surface is desired. It requires skill and precision to achieve the desired outcome. Different trowelling techniques may be employed depending on the material being worked with and the desired finish, such as a float finish or a trowel finish.

    Overall, trowelling is the process of utilizing a trowel to smooth, refine, or finish a surface, generally in construction or masonry work, to achieve a refined and polished appearance.
