Stainless Steel 1/4" x 1/4" Square Notch Trowel

This 1/4" x 1/4" square notch trowel is the workhorse for setting standard-size wall and floor tile in a proper thinset bed. The square teeth comb ridges of mortar to a consistent depth, so tiles seat evenly and you get full coverage under every piece — the step that prevents hollow spots and lippage down the road.

The stainless steel blade resists rust and wipes clean, and the 1/4" x 1/4" notch matches most ceramic and porcelain tile up to roughly 8". Hold it at a steady angle, spread, then comb in one direction for the best collapse under the tile. Pros keep one on the bucket for a reason, and Tile Outlets stocks it for your next install.
