REFINA PLAZIFLEX Foam Backed 1.5mm Flexiback Replacement Grey Trowel Blade

Refina PLAZIFLEX Foam Backed 1.5mm Flexiback Replacement Trowel Blades 12 - 24 inch

REFINA PLAZIFLEX® 1.5mm FLEXIBACK® premium grey plastic blades are replacement blades for the Plaziflex Foam Backed 1.5mm Flexiback Plastering Grey Skimming Trowel. They are designed with a foam backed layer which gives a supportive, flexible working technique that results in an exceptionally smooth and flat finished wall or ceiling. These blades are paired with the REFINA 8” Premium Mini Trowel (not included) which slides securely into the bracket located on the top of the foam backed mount; allowing you to effortlessly swap different size blades or replace a damaged blade.

REFINA 1.0mm PLAZIFLEX® blades offer a fully flexible experience allowing the user to achieve a perfectly smooth and flat finished wall during the final stages of plastering.

REFINA 1.5mm PLAZIFLEX® blades offer a slightly firmer flexible feeling in the hand allowing the user to incorporate the trowel into earlier troweling stages compared to the 1.0mm blade version - perfect for finishing phases of plastering.

REFINA 2.0mm PLAZIFLEX® blades offer a firm flexible troweling experience allowing the user to introduce a plastic trowel much earlier into the stages of plastering to accomplish flattening, smoothing and finishing with just one trowel. Additionally, thanks to the high quality non-marking blade, these blades can be used for other applications such as floating, flattening and finishing thin coat renders.

The FLEXIBACK® design provides flexibility across the blade width but maintains rigidity along the length making it a perfect trowel for curves and swoops. The innovative lightweight plastic blade also helps to reduce day to day working fatigue and aids the relief of common elbow and shoulder joint pain.

Care and Maintenance:

In order to provide optimal performance, the PLAZIFLEX range has been developed using specialised flexible plastics, however, the durability of these plastics means that they require some care in order to prolong use. If one of the edges becomes damaged during use, it can often be rectified by rubbing along the edge with a wet and dry sandpaper block.

The midget trowel shoe fittings are designed to have a snug fit in order to give good tactile feedback when in use. To avoid difficulty in inserting the handle, it is recommended that the handle is removed and the shoe fitting cleaned after each use. To ease fitting the handle apply a water or silicone-based lubricant

When not in use, keep the provided edge protectors in place on the trowel. High temperature environments such as radiators, window sills or car dashboards can cause warping. Moderate warping can often be rectified by flexing the trowel along its length (i.e. toe towards heel), in both directions.
