• Interior dry floors and walls in residential and commercial buildings.
• Suitable substrates include cured concrete and cementitious screeds that can be brought within tolerance for planeness and rigidity.
• Plane correction and regrading can be achieved with bonded screeds or self-levelling compounds before tile fixing.
• Adhesives are selected to tile type and format, including large format porcelain and natural stone.
• Grouting is selected to performance and cleaning regime, with cement or epoxy options.
• Movement joints are required at perimeters, over structural joints and at centres per design. Typical spacing is 6m internal floors, or 4.5m where sun-exposed, and 3 to 4.5m on walls. Spacing may be reduced by 15 to 20 percent when flexible adhesives are used.

• Not for exterior decks, facades or immersed environments.
• Not a substitute for structural crack control, tanking or negative-side waterproofing.
• Substrates must meet planeness, strength and deflection criteria before tiling.
• Moisture vapour barrier products used in dry internal zones are not waterproof membranes.
• Movement joints must not be omitted or bridged and must be carried through finishes where present in the structure.

• When designed and installed in accordance with this system and good trade practice, the system can contribute to compliance with the New Zealand Building Code, including B2 Durability and F2 Hazardous Building Materials.
• Industry standards and guides referenced in practice include AS 3958 (Tiling), AS 3740 (Internal Wet Areas, when relevant to adjacent wet areas), AS 4858 (Membranes, for reference in related wet areas), the IWAM Code of Practice, and the Tile Association of New Zealand Best Practice Guide.

Technokolla tiling systems distributed by Surtec are used throughout New Zealand and internationally in homes, retail, hospitality, health, education and workplace interiors. Components are selected to EN and ISO classifications for predictable, repeatable installation outcomes.

• Cement grout range provides colourfast shades with additives to inhibit mould growth and simplify cleaning.
• Epoxy grout provides dense, low-absorption joints with chemical and stain resistance for demanding regimes.
• Quick-setting levellers and bonded screeds support compressed programmes and controlled shrinkage.
• Care pathway supports lifecycle value using neutral pH routine cleaners, periodic deep cleaning where mineral residues or traffic films accumulate, and optional penetrating protection for porous stone or unglazed tiles in spill-prone zones.
