Floats

Shop a collection of floats here at DIY Megastore and add that finishing touch to your plaster or concrete work. Floats add a unique touch of class and professionalism to your rendering, the quality of which is difficult to replicate effectively, hence their popularity. Despite a fairly simple design, floats are some of the most valuable tools to anyone who takes pride in their plastering work, offering a finish that is smooth, seamless, and altogether stunning.

A first glance, a float is similar in design to a plasterer’s trowel, with a flat surface on the bottom side and an easy-to-grasp handle on top. What sets it apart from other plastering trowels is its sponged plastering surface. This cushions the pressure placed on the trowel when it is run against a plaster ceiling or wall, spreading this force more gently and evenly. This gives the user more control when smoothing out their plasterwork.

Floats can also be used on concrete, where they are used in a similar fashion. Both materials can be given highly appealing finishes thanks to this specialised product. Our floats are just one example of the many different plastering products we stock. From formulas to tools and accessories, take a look through our full range now and give that plastering project the finish it deserves.
