If you want to achieve a smooth and flat finish on a newly laid concrete surface, easy float is the answer. This type of finishing is ideal for jobs where the level tolerance is not as critical as the power float finish or where you have a tight schedule. A large, long, narrow float on the end of a knuckled handle is pushed or pulled over the surface of the wet concrete. Skip floats are also known as easy floats or bull floats.

What is easy float?
How does easy float work?
Easy float improves the final surface durability, finish, and quality by reducing surface laitance (the layer of cement dust, lime and sand fines that appear on the surface of concrete). This is achieved by pushing a long, narrow float blade on the end of a knuckle handle and pole over the surface of the wet concrete. The knucklehead allows the blade to be angled for complete control over the finish. Additionally, the lightweight magnesium alloy blade prevents warping, and the rounded corners on the float head reduce track marks. For a smooth finish, repeat the trowelling step two or three times, letting the concrete harden a bit between each pass.

What are the benefits of easy float?
Smooth & Polished Surface
Easy float improves the final surface durability, finish and quality by reducing surface laitance. This process polished out all imperfections achieving a uniform and attractive finish.
High Control
As easy float is done by hand, we have control over the tools. This means that we can reach hard-to-access areas for complete control over the finish. What’s more, the design of the tools reduces track marks and warping.
Dust-Free
Concrete flooring doesn’t absorb dust, bacteria and allergens in the way that other flooring types do. Unlike carpet and wood flooring, concrete flooring remains dust-free and will keep the environment cleaner for longer.
Low Maintenance
Concrete flooring that has been finished is incredibly easy to maintain. It has a smooth, flat, uniform surface which is easy to clean and look after. What’s more, it is highly-waterproof meaning that spillages can be cleaned quickly.
