Uneven floors can cause more than a few headaches once tiles go down. Cracks, lippage, and poor adhesion usually trace back to a surface that was never properly levelled in the first place. The Screed & Self-Levelling range at Surtec is built for these early stages of the job, giving tilers and builders the smooth, stable base every finish needs. Whether you’re patching small dips in a bathroom floor or correcting large areas in a commercial fit-out, these compounds settle cleanly and bond tight without shrinking.
Within the range, you’ll find high-flow self-levelling mortars and cement-based screeds that make surface prep faster and more reliable. The products are made to perform in New Zealand’s variable site conditions, drying evenly even when the weather turns cool or damp. They hold strong under tiles, timber, or vinyl and meet local performance standards for strength and flexibility. Every bag is ready to mix straight from the pail, giving you a dependable base that speeds up the rest of the job.
