Dapple Bars and Dapple Bar Sets

As any tradesman will tell you, having the right tools for the job is a must if you want to do it right. Not only will it make the task so much easier, you will get a top quality finish too.

Take our Dapple Bars for instance. These have been designed to ensure perfect consistency when working with screeds or flowing concrete in a wide variety of applications.

We achieved this because before we launched the third version of our standard dapple bar set, we went out and spoke to the people who used them – screed & concrete professionals. We found that they wanted dapple bars that were robust enough to use with flowing concrete, and be powder coated for easy cleaning when the job was done.

They also wanted lighter bars for flowing screed work that were easy to handle, and were available in a variety of widths so they could choose the right one for the job in hand.

However, if there is one thing that we have learned about working with the construction industry, it is that tradesmen are often loathe to replace tools even if the old ones are, being kind, past their best.

What are dapple bars? They are essentially being a piece of tube attached to a handle so that you can create a good wave in flowing concrete or screed – not really the cutting edge of technology! They come in a variety of widths to cope with various applications and generally the operator will customise the handle for their own comfort.

Which is why, being “low tech”, they are very rarely replaced even after they have dappled many thousands of metres of concrete or screed and have become scratched, rusted and encrusted with bits of material.
