Plaster & Render Floats

A plaster or render float is a flat, rectangular tool used to smooth and finish the surface of plaster or render. It's usually made of metal, wood, or plastic and has a handle on one end. The float is used to smooth and level the plaster or render as it is applied to the surface, with the flat surface facing downward. After the plaster or render has set, the float is used to create a smooth, even finish on the surface. There are various floats available for various finishes and textures, such as a smooth float for a smooth finish and a rough float for a more textured finish. It is important to use the appropriate type of float for the specific plaster or render material being worked with and to follow proper safety guidelines when using a float.
