superskim x-lite

Building on the trusted design of the original SUPERSKIM™, the SUPERSKIM™ X-LITE brings professional plasterers even more benefits. Lightweight, precise, and ergonomically designed, this spatula range is an essential addition to any plasterer’s toolkit. Here’s why flexible spatulas like the X-LITE are indispensable for achieving flawless finishes.

What Sets the X-LITE Apart?

25% Lighter Than the Original SUPERSKIM™

The X-LITE retains the same flexible 0.3mm stainless steel blade and ergonomic ‘Z’ profile frame as the classic SUPERSKIM™, but it’s 25% lighter. This weight reduction helps reduce fatigue during long skimming sessions without compromising on professional-quality results.

Enhanced Grip for Comfort and Control

Rubber Grip Strips on the ‘Z’ profile frame improve tactile feedback, reducing slippage and keeping hands warmer during cold-weather jobs. 

Patented TRUE EDGE™ Blade Design

The TRUE EDGE™ ensures even pressure across the entire blade for consistent, smooth finishes. Whether you’re working with finish plasters, airless plasters, or drywall compounds, the X-LITE delivers a perfectly flat surface every time.

Work Higher and Further with Extension Poles

REFINA’s quick-clamp extension poles attach securely to the SUPERSKIM™ ‘Z’ profile, letting you tackle ceilings and high walls up to 4.0m effortlessly. Smooth, controlled skimming at height has never been easier.

Cold-Weather Comfort

The X-LITE’s plastic frame stays comfortable to use in colder environments, unlike metal spatulas that draw heat away from your hands.

Zero Blade Slippage

Ultrasonically welded end caps ensure the blade remains firmly in place, providing consistent control and eliminating wobble or movement during use.

Multiple Sizes for Every Job

From 1” (25mm) to 48” (1200mm), the X-LITE range features a blade width to suit any application, from tight corners to large walls and ceilings.

X-LITE Applications

  • Flattening, finishing and skimming finish plasters: Perfect for achieving smooth, level surfaces in the final stages of plastering.
  • Flattening airless plasters and drywall compounds: Maintains even pressure and control for a professional finish.
  • Excellent broad coverage for large surfaces: Ideal for walls and ceilings, saving time and reducing fatigue during extensive skimming work.
