►COMMON USES OF BRICKLAYING TROWEL:
►Applying Mortar: The primary function of a bricklaying trowel is to apply mortar to the surface where bricks or other masonry units will be laid. The flat, broad blade of the trowel is used to scoop up mortar from a mortarboard or hawk and then spread it evenly on the substrate.
►Laying Bricks: Once the mortar is applied, bricks are carefully positioned onto the mortar bed. The bricklayer uses the flat side of the trowel to tap the brick into place and ensure it is level and properly aligned with neighboring bricks.
►Cutting Mortar: Bricklaying trowels often have a straight edge on one side of the blade, which can be used to cut excess mortar or to shape mortar joints between bricks. This helps create clean, uniform joints and ensures structural integrity.
►Smoothing Surfaces: Bricklayers may use the flat side of the trowel to smooth the surface of the mortar between bricks, ensuring a consistent and aesthetically pleasing finish. This step is especially important for exposed brickwork or decorative masonry features.
►Tool for Precision: Experienced bricklayers often use the edge of the trowel to align bricks precisely and to remove any excess mortar that may squeeze out between the joints. This attention to detail is crucial for creating sturdy and visually appealing brickwork.
►Handling and Transporting Mortar: In addition to spreading mortar, bricklayers use the trowel to transport mortar from the mortarboard or hawk to the work area. The trowel's flat blade provides a stable surface for carrying mortar without spillage.
►Cleaning and Maintenance: After completing the bricklaying task, the trowel is cleaned to remove any hardened mortar, which can affect its performance over time. Proper maintenance, including keeping the blade clean and occasionally sharpening the edges, ensures the trowel remains effective for future use.
