A bullfloat is a concrete finishing tool that smooths fresh concrete surfaces. It features a long handle attached to a flat aluminium or magnesium blade or float. A bullfloat is used after the concrete has been vibrated and screed off. Bullfloats are considered a basic and essential concrete finishing tool no matter what final finish you want. The handle of a bull float can measure anywhere from 2m long right out to 5m and longer depending on the style of pole you use. Handles may be a threaded or a snap in type which can change between brands. The float includes an attachment that accepts one of the handle styles. The Masterfinish bullfloats use a basic snap clip to attach to a pole. A bracket assembly on the bull float allows the angle to be adjusted to different positions so that the float can reach the concrete surface at the particular angle needed for each job. The angle is changed by rolling the pole in you hand. The float is available in different lengths from 600mm up to 1800mm. The ends of the float may be circular or rectangular in shape. A bull float must be lightweight so that the user doesn't get overly fatigued. Bull floating is done before the concrete surface becomes excessively moist. A bull float evens out the concrete surface and makes it level. But, bullfloating not only flattens and smooths, it also presses down any large aggregate so that the result is a more solid concrete. Aggregate is the ingredients used in making concrete. These may include gravel, sand and stone. Using a bullfloat properly requires strong organizational skills since bullfloating must be done while the concrete is still workable, or plastic, rather than set too much. The angle and amount of pressure used on a bullfloat is important also. You can't push it or the cement work already done could be ruined. Usually, several passes with a bullfloat are needed to ensure that the surface is as smooth and as flat as it can be. This takes time and patience as another smoothing with the bullfloat may need to be done after the concrete reaches another stage in the hardening process.
