What is the difference between power float and power trowel?
Power trowel, also known as power float, is a construction device used for smooth finishing of concrete slabs. Concrete power float is divided into two types: riding on power trowel and walk behind power trowel. Riding on power trowel is used for the operator to sit in the seat and control power trowel.
When should you power float concrete?
Concrete power float is a process that can be used to smooth concrete surfaces. This is done using a circular pad attached to a rotary power tool, polishing the concrete surface to an even, smooth finish.
Power floating is often used on new concrete to produce an even texture and sheen. It is also used when existing concrete is badly damaged or contaminated with oil, grease or other substances that cannot be removed by other methods.
concrete power float is generally not recommended as a maintenance procedure because it tends to remove too much of the concrete surface. Instead, you should use it when installing new concrete or when repairing existing concrete surfaces that are badly damaged or soiled.
