A polyurethane float is a specialized type of float commonly used in masonry work and tile installation. Unlike traditional wooden floats, which can absorb moisture and become less effective over time, polyurethane floats are resistant to water and chemicals. They have a lightweight yet durable construction that allows for efficient transportation and precise maneuvering on various surfaces. Polyurethane floats are particularly useful when applying grout or finishing concrete surfaces that require careful attention to detail. The non-absorbent properties of polyurethane ensure that the float does not become clogged with excess material, allowing for consistent performance throughout the task.
