MARSHALLTOWN 43D Overview
The MARSHALLTOWN 43D is a traditional professional-style grout float for applying grout to floor and wall tile. Its 9 x 4 inch size is more compact than some 12-inch floats, which can make it easier to maneuver in showers, backsplashes and medium-size floor installations.
Pure Gum Rubber Pad
The working face is made from gum rubber bonded to a dense backing. The rubber surface is designed to move grout across the tile while allowing enough pressure to pack the material into the joints.
DuraSoft Handle
MARSHALLTOWN equips the 43D with its cushioned DuraSoft handle. A comfortable grip matters during grouting because the float is repeatedly held at an angle and pushed diagonally across tile joints.
Suitable for Common Tile Materials
The float is intended for ceramic, porcelain and natural-stone installations. Its size makes it a good all-round choice when one float needs to handle both wall and floor work.
Who Should Choose It?
The 43D makes sense for users who value a compact professional hand tool from an established masonry and tile-tool manufacturer. It is not the cheapest possible float, but its design is focused on repeated tile-setting work rather than one-time disposable use.
