How to succeed with concrete surfacing

 

Trowels are used to finish a concrete floor. They use pressure to make the surface flatter and smoother. Surfacing ensures the finish of the slab suits its intended purpose. Learn more about how to succeed with troweling in the guide below.

How to succeed with troweling

  • Begin slowly. When concrete is fresh, it is fragile. If you go too fast, you may flush concrete away and create holes. Increase your speed as the concrete is curing.

  • For the first 1–3 passes, use floating discs or floating blades. For a flatter floor, use a ride-on trowel and more passes.

  • If you require a smoother surface, continue with finishing blades or combination blades.

  • Choose blades made from the right material. Steel and carbon blades are flexible and last longer, but may alter the colour of the concrete. If colour is important, e.g. when colour pigments are being used, use plastic blades.

  • High ambient temperatures cause concrete to dry quicker. So, if it is hot outside, the amount of time you have to trowel the concrete is reduced.
