This 11″ x 4 1/2″ V-Notched Trowel by MAK is a specialized precision tool designed for the efficient application of thin-set and adhesives during professional tiling projects. The V-notch design is specifically engineered to provide the correct coverage and “collapse” required for smaller wall tiles and mosaics.
Product Overview
The MAK V-Notched Trowel features an 11-inch by 4 1/2-inch blade, providing a substantial surface area for fast material spreading while remaining maneuverable for wall applications. The V-shaped teeth create a unique ridge pattern that ensures a secure bond by minimizing air pockets behind the tile.
Key Features

Best Use Cases
| Application | Why it Works |
| Wall Tiling | The V-notches provide the lighter, more precise adhesive coverage needed for vertical installations. |
| Mosaic Installation | Prevents adhesive from squeezing through the small grout lines of mosaic sheets. |
| Backsplashes | Ideal for kitchen and bath renovations where detail and clean application are essential. |
| Small Floor Tiles | Suitable for setting smaller ceramic or porcelain tiles that don’t require heavy mortar beds. |

When using a V-notched trowel, always hold the tool at a 45-degree angle to the surface. This ensures that the adhesive ridges are the consistent height needed for the tile to bond perfectly with the substrate.
