The application of a leveling or finishing cement-sand layer on the surface of the walls, ceilings and floors is carried out manually. To align it in the process of performing work, a tool such as building rule is used, which represents a bar made of lightweight materials with a perfectly flat surface of the working part of the tool. It is used not only as a leveling device, but also excellent:
- A drawing tool for drawing even markings during finishing work.
- A kind of controller for determining the evenness of the surface.
The sharpened working part of the rule allows for leveling by compacting the applied solution and at the same time cutting (removing) its excess with the working surface. It is according to the configuration of the working part that the classification of this tool used in finishing work is carried out.
H-shaped tool
The only but very significant drawback of this type of rule is the low rigidity of the tool. When working with heavy types of mixture applied to the surface, it can deform (bend) in its plane, which reduces the quality of the final result. It is used mainly for laying finishing layers of plaster and putty, it perfectly removes defects such as "sagging" formed when using plastic mortars.
Classic rectangular rule
It does not have a pointed working part and is a perfectly flat bar. Can be supplemented with flasks with liquid and an air bubble to determine the evenness of the surface. It copes well with heavy concrete mixes and is used in the arrangement of floor coverings.
