Hammer
The rubbing hammer , similar to the veneer hammer , is a hammer for connecting a narrow, flat material to a surface.
On one side of the head it has a flat, usually approx. 90 mm wide, sometimes even rounded fin. On the other side of the head, the hammer has a normal striking surface like a machinist's hammer . The material is painted with the flat fin and less hammered. It is similar to a carpenter's hammer , but the flat fin is about as wide as the entire head.
The rubbing hammer is used when laying flexible floor coverings such as linoleum , PVC or fitted carpets . Rigid floor coverings such as parquet or tiles are usually laid up to a wall and the transition is covered with a skirting board . Flexible floor coverings can, however, be bent over on the wall and placed high up on the wall with a crease, technically rubbed . In order to achieve a clean crease, the rubbing hammer is used, with its flat fin, the crease is knocked into the floor covering. A knee clamp or knee kicker is often used to lay carpets . Rubbed floor coverings, with an edge designed as a groove, are particularly important in hospitals, retirement homes, doctor's offices and similar facilities, as this avoids a gap between the wall and floor covering in which dirt and pathogens can collect. Hospital floors must be easy to clean and disinfect.
The veneer hammer is usually lighter and a little more filigree, and is used in a comparable way in veneer technology to press the veneer pieces evenly: the ironed-on veneer is rubbed with the warmed veneer hammer with zigzag movements from the inside out to smooth out bubbles and glue residues. There are also brass-trimmed fins, which are gentler on the material and better conductors of heat. If the pieces are too complicated to press down directly with a hammer, you work with clamps .
