An aluminum feather edge is a necessary tool for construction and repair work. It is used to create an even, continuous coating over a large area that would be difficult to achieve with a hand trowel, namely:
Aluminum feather edges ensure perfect smoothness of walls and floors, which prepare for further decorative finishing. In addition to plastering, aluminum feather edges are used as a level when plastering walls with plasterboard, clapboard, etc. The edge of the feather edger is used to check that different parts of the material are level with each other. Using a trapezoidal feather edge with a nice sharp edge allows the craftsman to get to the sharpest corners and plaster them perfectly.
The light weight of the aluminum feather edge allows you to manipulate it during work easily, even if the length of the tool is 3 meters. The movement of the tool is easily controlled by the thumb and palm; the h-shaped shape allows you to hold your fingers comfortably.
“Alupro” offers a wide selection of h-shaped and trapezoidal aluminum feather edges of various sizes, silver anodized or uncoated.
Aluminum straightedge is an essential tool
for professional builders and craftsmen in construction and renovation works.
In this article, we will explore its key advantages and areas of application.
Aluminum
straightedge is a reliable and convenient tool widely used in construction and
repair works. It is a straight aluminum profile with a length ranging from 1 to
3 meters.
The main advantage of the aluminum
straightedge is its strength and durability. Made from high-quality aluminum,
it can withstand heavy loads and remain in good condition for a long time.
The aluminum straightedge finds its
application in leveling large surfaces that are challenging to process with
other tools. It is perfect for leveling floors, plastering walls and ceilings,
as well as for smoothing various surfaces.
With the aluminum straightedge, you can
achieve a smooth and even surface on long straight sections. Its smooth surface
ensures precise application of coatings, eliminating any unevenness. Moreover,
the lightweight nature of the aluminum straightedge allows the craftsman to
easily maneuver it during work. Its use is particularly crucial when working
with materials like ceramic tiles and drywall, which demand high accuracy and
surface smoothness.
When choosing an aluminum straightedge, it
is essential to pay attention to its quality. Cheaper models may be made from
thin metal, rendering them unsuitable for precise tasks. High-quality
straightedges feature additional stiffening ribs and a wall thickness of at
least 1 millimeter. At "Alupro," we use premium aluminum alloys for
all our products, ensuring they stand out with durability and longevity.
There are two main types of aluminum
straightedges - trapezoidal and h-shaped. Trapezoidal straightedges are
primarily used for working on vertical surfaces, while h-shaped ones are
designed for horizontal surfaces. With a trapezoidal straightedge featuring a
sharp edge, one can easily reach and perfectly plaster even the tightest
corners. The convenient shape of an h-shaped aluminum straightedge ensures a comfortable
grip during work, which is particularly important when dealing with larger
surface areas.
“Alupro”
offers a wide range of h-shaped and trapezoidal aluminum straightedges in
various sizes, silver anodized or uncoated. Additionally, you can order plugs
along with the straightedge. These plastic plugs, installed on both ends of the
straightedge, protect it from the infiltration of mixtures into the profile,
without adding any extra weight to the tool.
Trapezoidal straightedges are presented
in the assortment of 'Alupro' in the following models:
