Professional Cement and Grouting Tools for Quality Finishes
The finish quality of tile installations depends on the tools used for adhesive application and grouting. Peygran cement tools provide the precision and durability professional installers require across thousands of square meters. From notched trowels that spread adhesive at proper coverage rates to grouting floats that pack joints completely, these tools execute the fundamental operations that determine installation success. Spanish manufacturing quality ensures tools that maintain their shape and performance through demanding daily use.

Cement Tool Applications
Adhesive application with proper notch trowel for tile size and type
Grout packing into joints using appropriate float technique and pressure
Diagonal wiping to remove excess grout without pulling from joints
Final surface cleaning before grout hazes over completely
Material mixing for adhesives, grouts, and leveling compounds
Edge and detail work requiring precision float control
Selecting the Right Cement Tools
For small tiles: 6mm notched trowels provide appropriate coverage without excess
For large format tiles: 10-15mm notched trowels ensure full contact under heavy pieces
For grout application: Firm rubber floats pack material tightly into joints
For epoxy grout: Specialized floats resist chemical attack and facilitate cleanup
For grout cleanup: Soft sponge floats remove haze without scratching tile surfaces
For mixing: Heavy-duty buckets with measurement marks for consistent batches
For extended use: Ergonomic handles prevent hand fatigue and blistering
Cement Tool Errors to Avoid
- Using worn trowels with rounded notches produces inconsistent adhesive coverage
- Applying grout with too-soft floats leaves voids and weak joints
- Cleaning too aggressively while grout is wet pulls material from joints
- Waiting too long to clean allows grout haze to bond permanently to tile
- Mixing in dirty buckets contaminates fresh materials with cured residue

Frequently Asked Questions
Notch size depends on tile size and substrate conditions. Small mosaic tiles need 3-6mm notches. Standard wall tiles use 6-8mm. Floor tiles typically require 10mm. Large format tiles need 12-15mm or larger notches for full coverage. The goal is achieving 80-100% adhesive contact under the tile. When tiles sound hollow after setting, increase notch size. Substrate flatness also affects notch selection - uneven surfaces need deeper notches.
Grouting floats have firm rubber pads that force grout deep into joints under pressure. The firmness packs material tightly for complete joint filling. Cleaning floats use softer, more absorbent surfaces that lift excess grout without pulling material from joints. Using a grouting float for cleanup leaves grout residue, while using a cleaning float for packing produces weak joints. Professional installers use both types at appropriate stages.
Clean trowels immediately after use before adhesive cures. Check notch depth periodically - worn notches produce inconsistent coverage that causes bonding failures. Store trowels flat or hanging to prevent blade warping. Replace trowels when notches become rounded rather than crisp. The cost of a new trowel is trivial compared to tile failures from inadequate adhesive coverage.
Pinholes result from air trapped during grout application. Causes include mixing grout too thin, working grout when it has begun setting, or using insufficient pressure during float application. Pack grout firmly with diagonal float strokes, forcing material into joints while releasing trapped air. Allow grout to firm slightly before cleaning passes. Proper technique produces solid, pinhole-free joints.
Timing is critical. Wait until grout in joints firms enough that cleaning does not pull material out - typically 15-30 minutes depending on conditions. Do not wait until grout hazes over completely, which makes cleaning difficult and risks surface scratching. The window varies with temperature and humidity. In hot, dry UAE conditions, work smaller areas to maintain proper cleaning timing.
Epoxy grout requires specialized tools that resist chemical attack. Standard rubber floats degrade quickly with epoxy. Use epoxy-rated floats with appropriate hardness. Have cleaning supplies ready before application - epoxy becomes extremely difficult to remove once cured. Work small areas and clean continuously. The investment in proper epoxy tools pays back through cleaner application and easier cleanup.
Mixing bucket quality affects material performance significantly. Heavy-duty buckets maintain shape for proper mixing action. Measurement marks ensure consistent water ratios batch to batch. Smooth interior surfaces release cured residue more easily. Cheap buckets crack, distort, and harbor contaminating residue. Professional-grade buckets like Peygran offerings justify their cost through reliability and longevity.

Tools That Execute Fundamentals Properly
Tile installation success depends on executing basic operations correctly: spreading adhesive at proper coverage, packing grout completely into joints, cleaning surfaces without disturbing filled joints. Peygran cement tools enable these fundamentals with precision and consistency. Spanish manufacturing produces tools that maintain their geometry through heavy use, ensuring the thousandth square meter matches the first. Quality tools are not a luxury - they are essential equipment for quality results.
Notched Trowels for Proper Coverage
The humble notched trowel determines whether tiles bond properly or fail. Notch depth controls adhesive thickness. Notch shape affects coverage consistency. Handle angle influences application fatigue. Peygran trowels address all these factors with engineered notch profiles, durable blades that maintain sharpness, and handles positioned for natural spreading motion. When tiles fail from adhesive voids, the trowel is often the root cause.
Grouting Floats That Pack Joints Solid
Weak grout joints result from inadequate packing during application. Peygran grouting floats feature firm rubber compounds that transmit pressure effectively, forcing grout deep into joints and expelling trapped air. The float geometry facilitates diagonal strokes that fill joints without dragging material out. Proper grouting technique requires proper tools - soft or worn floats simply cannot achieve the compaction that produces durable joints.
Cleaning Floats for Professional Finishes
The transition from grouting to cleaning requires tool changes. Cleaning floats use absorbent surfaces that lift excess grout while avoiding joint disturbance. Sponge sections rinse clean for multiple passes. The cleaning stage determines final appearance - aggressive technique or wrong tools leave residue, scratches, or pulled joints. Peygran cleaning floats enable the gentle but effective cleaning that professional finishes require.
Mixing Equipment for Consistent Materials
Cement-based materials perform consistently only when mixed consistently. Water ratios affect workability, open time, and strength development. Peygran mixing buckets include measurement marks for repeatable batches. Heavy-duty construction withstands mixing forces without flexing or cracking. Smooth interiors release residue for clean starts on each batch. Mixing is mundane but critical - the right equipment makes consistency automatic.
Ergonomic Design for Sustainable Work
Professional installers use cement tools for hours daily across careers spanning decades. Poorly designed tools cause fatigue, blisters, and repetitive strain injuries that limit careers. Peygran handles feature ergonomic shapes that fit hands naturally, reducing grip force required and preventing pressure points. The investment in proper tools protects the most valuable asset in any construction operation: skilled workers who can continue performing.
