Overview

The Bedding Frame Short Economy is a 1.8m plated steel frame from the economy range, built for bedding and levelling roof tiles, bricks and mortar. The short length suits confined runs and tight work areas, and the plated steel body gives it the strength and corrosion resistance for daily on site use at a budget friendly price.

The economy line is the value choice in the bedding frame range. It uses plated steel rather than the aluminium of the standard line, which keeps the price down while still giving a rigid straight edge for mortar work. For a small crew or a roof where the frame does not need to travel far, it does the same bedding job at a lower cost.

What You Need to Complete the Job

For roof pointing, pair the frame with a pointing trowel and a 20kg bag of roof tile mortar, and finish with a Dunlop gauging trowel. See the Tile Roofing Tools range for more. Bed the mortar in even sections and move the frame along the run as each section is done, then rinse the frame down so the plating stays clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an economy bedding frame?

It is the budget line of bedding frames, offering the same core job of forming a straight edge for bedding and levelling at a lower price. It does not carry the extra features of the standard range, but it keeps the strength and stability needed for the work, which is why it is a common choice for small crews.

How long is the short economy frame?

It is 1.8m, which is 6 feet. That is the short option in the range, suited to shorter runs, ridges and confined areas where a longer frame is awkward to handle and where a compact edge gives better control on the bed.

Can it be used for brick and block bedding?

Yes. The listing states it suits roof tile bedding, brick and block bedding, mortar levelling and general construction bedding, so it is not limited to roofing work. The same straight edge that beds a ridge can level a course of blocks or a mortar bed.
