Floats and combs with closed wooden handles have a blade made of special, highly wear-resistant steel, protected against corrosion by a colorless varnish (STEEL). There are also models with a blade made of special, highly wear-resistant stainless steel (INOX). One of the distinctive features of all RUBI floats and combs is the perfectly flat blade.
Floats and combs with wooden handles offer the professional ceramic tile installer a traditional handle with the soft feel of natural wood, thanks to a complete milling, sanding, and varnishing process. The closed handle offers a symmetrical tool, perfect for use by both right- and left-handed users, and also provides a more centered tool that is easier to control and handle. The blade and handle are joined using stainless steel screws to ensure greater tool durability. Another aspect that sets the RUBI range of floats and combs apart from the rest is the wide range of models and tooth sizes.
The 20 x 20 mm square tooth design was designed for dosing cementitious adhesives for ceramic tiles on uneven floors. The tooth size allows for a greater thickness of the setting material and ensures proper wetting of the ceramic tiles, an essential factor for achieving proper adhesion.
When applying adhesives for ceramic tile installation, each manufacturer's open and adjustment times should always be considered. RUBI's 48 cm floats and combs are ideal for installing large-format ceramic tiles, as a single application covers a larger work surface. The RUBI brand is renowned for the high durability and quality of its tools. For over 65 years, RUBI has been manufacturing only highly durable and resistant products to offer the best performance in the toughest working conditions and adapting to the demands of each market.
