Questions & Answers
Is this only for flooring or can you use it for walls?
The 1/4x1/4x1/4 Sq notch trowel is used for installing tile 8" x 8" or smaller, laminated wood plank flooring, flat milled solid & shorts or plywood for both floors and walls. Customer Care
Can this be used to install 3x12 subway tile backsplash?
For subway tile backsplashes, a 1/4" square notch trowel is recommended for ensuring adequate mortar coverage for good bonding. Customer Care
can you use this trowel for 6x24 tile
For 6x24 tile, the preferred recommended trowel size is 1/2"x1/2"x1/2" SQ. The 1/4"x3/8"x1/4" SQ would also work. Also, we do recommend applying a thinset skim coat to the back of the tile with the flat side of the trowel before you set the tile. Customer Care

Is this the recommended size for cement tiles?

Is this good for 6'' x 24'' wood look tile?
Yes
This trowel size is used for thinset application of ceramic tile 8"x8" up to 16"x16". Customer Care
Is this good for 4" x " 12" subway tile?
Yes, the ¼” x 3/8” x 1/4” is the best option for 4" x12" subway tile. Customer Care
Yes. Smaller notches may also work. Generally, size of notches determines how much mortar is under the tile. Final height of mortar, after tile is placed, is one half the notch height, so for a floor you might adjust mortar height for alignment of tile with adjoining flooring. You can also adjust height of mortar by the angle of holding the trowel - 45 degrees versus 90 degrees, which changes mortar thickness. Good idea to set one tile and then lift it to inspect fir proper mortar coverage.
