This 12″ x 6″ Professional Wood Float by MAK is a traditional masonry tool favored by experts for creating a smooth, sandy texture on concrete and plaster surfaces. Unlike plastic or foam alternatives, wood floats offer a unique “drag” that is essential for specific decorative and structural finishes.
Product Overview
The MAK Wood Float features a high-quality hardwood base and a sturdy, ergonomically carved handle. Its 12-inch length provides ample surface area for leveling, while the natural grain of the wood helps pull moisture and fine aggregate to the surface, making it the perfect tool for preparing walls for final decorative coats.
Key Features
-
Natural Hardwood Base: Provides the ideal amount of friction to “open” the surface of concrete or mortar, allowing air and moisture to escape evenly.
-
Optimal 12″ x 6″ Size: Balanced for both speed on large walls and precision in tighter residential spaces.
-
Ergonomic Wood Handle: Comfortably shaped to fit the hand, providing excellent leverage for smoothing thick brown coats or exterior stucco.
-
Warp-Resistant Design: Crafted from selected timbers treated to resist moisture-related bending, ensuring a flat finish project after project.
Best Use Cases
