As part of our continuing commitment to ensuring the most successful installation possible, Franklin offers a trowel designed specifically for installing wood flooring. The use of a properly notched trowel is so critical to the success of wood flooring installation that failure to do so will void any warranties. The Franklin trowel is a heavy-duty, professional grade trowel. Its rivet-free, welded construction is brushed steel to resist corrosion. It also has a sturdy, hand-fitting wood handle.
