This 11″ x 5.5″ Polyurethane Foam Float by MAK is a professional-grade masonry tool designed for leveling and smoothing large surfaces of concrete, stucco, and plaster. Its lightweight construction and specialized texture make it an essential choice for achieving a uniform finish on both interior and exterior walls.
Product Overview
The MAK foam float is crafted from high-density, lightweight polyurethane plastic, offering a more durable and warp-resistant alternative to traditional wood floats. Its 11-inch length provides excellent surface coverage, while the waffle texture bottom is specifically engineered to “open up” the surface, bringing sand or fine aggregates to the top for a perfectly textured finish.
Key Features
-
Waffle Texture Sole: Designed to effectively level high spots and fill voids, creating the ideal mechanical “key” for subsequent coats of paint or render.
-
Lightweight Polyurethane: Provides a comfortable, well-balanced feel that reduces arm fatigue during large-scale projects like flooring or wall rendering.
-
Non-Absorbent Material: Unlike wood, this poly float will not soak up water or swell, ensuring a consistent flat surface and a longer tool lifespan.
-
One-Piece Construction: Features a sturdy, molded-in handle that won’t loosen over time, providing reliable leverage for smoothing thick compounds.
Best Use Cases
| Application | Why it Works |
| Concrete Finishing | Excellent for the first pass after screeding to embed large aggregate and draw moisture to the surface. |
| Stucco & Plaster | Ideal for “rubbing up” brown coats to bring out a sandy texture or leveling gypsum plaster. |
| Surface Preparation | Creates a subtle, uniform texture that improves paint and wallpaper adhesion. |
| Decorative Finishes | Used to create natural, visually dynamic finishes on feature walls or commercial spaces. |
