• Interior and exterior floors and walls using 6 mm porcelain in residential and commercial buildings.
• Suitable substrates include cured concrete, cementitious screeds and approved sheet linings brought within planeness and rigidity tolerances.
• Moisture management in dry zones via moisture vapour barrier where readings are borderline, wet zones tanked with a membrane and junction reinforcement.
• Under-tile heating may be encapsulated, then protected by the waterproofing layer before tiling.
• For project-specific detailing, quantities and programme advice, speak with the Surtec Technical Team via the EBOSS Enquire button.

• Not for immersed environments such as pools unless separately designed and detailed.
• Not a substitute for structural crack control or negative-side waterproofing.
• Levelling compounds are not used to create steep falls, use a screed to form falls.
• Substrates must meet strength, deflection and planeness criteria before tiling.
• Movement joints must not be omitted or bridged and must be carried through finishes where present in the structure.
• If your project includes substrate movement or cracking, tanking, structural concerns, balconies or decks, heated floors or chemical exposure, speak with the Surtec Technical Team before specifying.

• When designed and installed in accordance with this system and recognised trade practice, the system can contribute to compliance with NZBC B2 Durability and F2 Hazardous Building Materials.
• For internal wet areas, using a tested wet-area membrane as part of the system can contribute to NZBC E3 Internal Moisture.
• Industry references used in practice include AS 3958 Tiling, AS 3740 Internal Wet Areas, AS/NZS 4858 Membranes, the IWAM Code of Practice and the Tile Association of New Zealand Best Practice Guide.

Technokolla tiling and waterproofing systems, supplied by Surtec, are used throughout New Zealand in residential and commercial interiors and exteriors including bathrooms, corridors, entries, lobbies and amenities. 6mm porcelain installations routinely use suction-frame handling, high-wetting adhesives and vibration to control lippage and maximise contact.

• Adhesives available in deformable C2TES1 and C2TE S1 classifications provide non-slump placement, high wetting and extended open time for large thin tiles.
• CG2 WA cement grout and RG epoxy grout options address hygiene, stain resistance and cleaning regimes, with silicone for movement and perimeter joints.
• Quality assurance records include moisture readings, membrane wet and dry film thickness, flood test logs where required and tile coverage checks to support consent documentation.
• Lifecycle care uses neutral pH cleaning for routine maintenance and periodic deep cleaning where residues build up, compatible with cement and epoxy grout.
