Why use Power Trowels to reinforce residential or commercial concrete floors?

1. The improvement of density of concrete surface. Under normal circumstances, we use vibrating roller and vibrating plate tamper to compact the ground can improve the soil compactness, but there will still be some small bubbles or other coarse particles on the surface of the concrete. So in this case, we're going to use a power trowel. We can use the power trowels to repeatedly wipe the floor, this operation can smooth the cement slurry in the concrete to a more dense state.
2. Make the concrete reach a certain level of flatness. Because the fluidity of concrete is not very strong. So in the process of pouring concrete, whether concrete vibrators or scrapers, can not make the concrete achieve good flatness. If we want the surface of the concrete to be smooth, we need to use the power trowel for operation.

The difference between Power Trowels and vibrating plate tamper for treatment of concrete surface

1. Vibratory plate tamper compacts concrete by means of vibration so that the soil density is up to standard.

The power trowel is more aimed at improving the appearance and smoothness of the concrete surface.

2. Vibrating plate tamper can be used to uniform the stones in the concrete through vibration, so as to make the soil smooth. But the power trowel can not press the gravel, only limited to the surface process.

Other tools for residential or commercial concrete surface treatment

In addition to the two concrete treatment tools of vibrating plate tamper and power trowels, other tools such as concrete screeds and concrete saws are likely to be used.

The function of concrete screeds: The concrete screeds can make the concrete surface reach the perfect level state. Not only can the level and smoothness be optimized, but also can improve the completion efficiency (only need one person to complete).

Function of concrete saws: Concrete saws is mainly used for concrete, brick, asphalt and other solid materials cutting. It is one of the essential tools in the construction industry.
