Choosing the Right Floor Scraper Blade
Its not always apparent, but it’s the difference between efficient removal and wasted time. With materials ranging from flexible floor coatings to bonded asphalt, each job demands a blade that’s built to match.
Here’s a breakdown of the blade types we offer and what they’re best at.
FLEX 2.5mm Floor Scraper Blade
For Thin and Flexible Coatings
Best for:
-
Vinyl
-
Carpet
-
Light coatings
The FLEX blade is thin, which gives it just enough flexibility to follow uneven surfaces without gouging. It’s a go-to for light-duty work where a rigid blade would just skate over the material instead of cutting in.
Use this for:
Carpet removal or light waterproofing.
HEAVY 3mm Floor Scraper Blade
The All-Rounder
Best for:
-
Thin-set
-
Hot Rubber
-
Thin-System waterproofing
This blade hits the sweet spot between strength and flexibility. It’s great for general flooring removal, including drive lanes with a couple of coats. If standard 3 mm blades aren’t getting clean cuts, use the notched version for extra stiffness and better bite.
Use this for:
Drive lanes, thin-system waterproofing, tough flooring, or when you need one blade that can handle a mix.
SUPER (5 mm) – For Tough, Thick Jobs
Best for:
-
Hot Rubber
-
Mastic
-
Thick membranes
This is where serious scraping begins. SUPER blades don’t bend and they don’t back down. If you're tearing up plaza decks or stuck with a waterproofing job that just won’t quit, this blade is built to go the distance.
Use this for:
Heavy waterproofing, tile jobs, or anything that chews up thinner blades.
XTREME (6.5 mm) – The Indestructible Option
Best for:
-
Asphalt
-
Mortar
-
Outdoor demo
When you’re working on a roof deck or concrete pad covered in bonded asphalt, the XTREME blade is the one to reach for. It’s the thickest, toughest blade we offer—and it’s built to take maximum force without breaking down.
Use this for:
Big exterior jobs or any surface where impact force is constant.
