Texture Finishing Trowels

Texture finishing trowels are hand tools used to apply and create textured surface finishes on render, plaster, concrete and similar substrates. Unlike flat finishing trowels designed to produce a smooth, burnished surface, texture trowels are used to achieve a deliberate surface pattern or texture — whether a skip trowel, knockdown, swirl, travertine or other decorative effect on rendered walls and ceilings, or a broom, brush or exposed aggregate texture on concrete flatwork. At BetonTools, we stock texture finishing trowels suited to renderers, plasterers and concreters working across a range of decorative and functional finish applications.

Common texture finishing trowel applications
On rendered walls and ceilings, texture trowels are used to apply finish coat render or texture compound and then manipulate the surface before it sets to create the desired pattern. Blade shape, flexibility and surface material all affect the texture result. On concrete flatwork, texture trowels and floats are used to impart slip-resistant or decorative surface textures before the concrete fully hardens. Key specs to compare: blade or face material (steel, plastic, foam, resin or sponge), blade shape and size, and handle type. Select based on the specific texture finish and substrate you are working with. Also browse our concrete hand floats, plastic trowels and super flexible finishing trowels.
