Technokolla Tiling System

The Technokolla Tiling System, exclusively supplied in New Zealand by Surtec, brings Italian craftsmanship and quality to local tiling projects. The Technokolla Tiling System complies with all NZ standards, delivering long-lasting and visually appealing tiling results. All Membranes are tested to confirm the performance under AS4858 and are then applied as per AS3740 and the IWAM Code of Practice. The team of Technokolla experts is always ready to offer professional advice.

Internal Tiled Wet Areas

■ Seal all corners and edges using a flexible, mould-resistant sealant.

■ Ensure waterproofing is applied correctly to both floor and wall surfaces
to prevent moisture ingress, and migration.

■ Low-modulus, flexible, water-repellent grouts with low coefficient
of water absorption

■ Use adhesives with low water absorption (low imbibition) to ensure
stable bond performance

External Tiled Areas

■ Use flexible cemetitious adhesives and grouts that can handle movement in
the materials, and will not break down or re-emulsify over time

can be used
