Development of Easy Tiling Trowel Box

Abstrak

An easy tiling trowel box was developed to facilitate the installation of
the tile. This tool is also used for finishing work in the building. Besides
that, an educator can use this innovative product to teach finishing
work because it is easy to show the real practice to the student.
Typically, using this product, tile installation is done quickly without
taking into precision using spirit level in every view. The safety aspect
can be harmful to the occupants of every building that is built.
Additionally, the use of mortar between insufficient tile pieces makes
the distance between these tile pieces to be too close. This is because
tile craftsmen usually take easy steps for fast work and want to save
costs. This project presents a time frame of comparison between the
conventional and the modern method. Usually, the floor tile installation
process is a finishing work done manually and described in detail
including floor tile flow installation, mortar thickness, pattern tile
installation, equipment, installation defects, cost, and the labour rate.
Floor tile installation cost analysis is based on data obtained in a
construction project. As a result, the performance of the Easy Tiling
Trowel box in applying the adhesives on the floor effectively and evenly
this product was successfully examined to facilitate tile installation
work in a shorter time than conventional methods.
