Capitol 115111 Flooring Trowel 1/8″ x 1/8″ V-Notch Silver Wood

Description

Product Overview

The Capitol 115111 Professional Flooring Adhesive Trowel is engineered for precision and durability in demanding flooring applications. Constructed from hardened, tempered steel, the blade maintains a sharp V‑notch profile that creates uniform adhesive channels, reducing material waste and improving bond strength. The flat‑top design, measuring 1/8″ x 1/8″ x 1/16″, offers a balanced weight distribution that enhances control during long‑run installations.

Its large wood handle, finished in a sleek silver‑light tone, provides a comfortable ergonomic grip that minimizes hand fatigue, even during extended use on large surface areas. The handle is thoughtfully shaped to fit naturally in the palm, allowing installers to apply consistent pressure without compromising accuracy. First and last rivets are reinforced and welded, delivering added structural integrity that resists bending or breaking under heavy loads.

Designed specifically for textured or rough‑back carpets, this trowel excels at spreading adhesive evenly across uneven substrates. The V‑notch geometry increases space between adhesive rows, ensuring optimal coverage and reducing the likelihood of air pockets. This feature is especially valuable in commercial settings where floor longevity and performance are critical.

With a compact footprint of 3 x 4.5 x 11 inches and a lightweight profile of just 11.1 ounces, the Capitol 115111 trowel is easy to transport and store. Its durable construction meets the rigorous standards of professional contractors, while the attractive silver‑light wood finish adds a touch of professionalism to any tool kit.

Usage

Ideal for both residential and commercial flooring projects, the Capitol 115111 trowel is suited for installing carpet tiles, broadloom carpets, and specialty flooring systems that require precise adhesive application. Installers working on high‑traffic areas will appreciate the trowel’s ability to lay down consistent adhesive layers, which helps prevent premature wear and tear.

When working with textured or rough‑back carpet backings, the V‑notch blade creates deeper channels that accommodate the irregular surface, allowing the adhesive to flow into every crevice. This results in a stronger bond and a smoother finished floor. The trowel also performs well on concrete, plywood, and other substrates where a uniform adhesive spread is essential.

Because of its ergonomic handle, the trowel is comfortable for users of all skill levels, from seasoned professionals to DIY enthusiasts tackling a home renovation. The reinforced rivets ensure the tool remains reliable even when subjected to the repetitive motions required for large‑scale installations.
