SUPERSKIM™ X-LITE Flexible Spatulas
The next generation of SUPERSKIM™ spatulas has arrived.
Introducing the SUPERSKIM™ X-LITE – a lighter, more ergonomic evolution of the industry-favourite REFINA SUPERSKIM™ range.
Built on the trusted foundation of the original SUPERSKIM™, the X-LITE retains the flexible 0.3mm stainless steel blade and the ergonomic ‘Z’ profile plastic frame, but now delivers a major advantage for tradespeople: it is 25% lighter. This reduction in weight significantly decreases daily fatigue while maintaining the exceptional finishing quality REFINA tools are known for.
The enhanced frame design incorporates rubber Grip Strips and refined finger grooves to improve comfort, grip security and tactile control. Unlike metal-profile spatulas, the plastic Z-frame does not draw warmth from your hands, making it far more comfortable in colder conditions and reducing the risk of slipping during extended use.
The patented TRUE EDGE™ blade design ensures pressure is distributed evenly across the entire blade, helping achieve smooth, uniform and consistently flat finishes. SUPERSKIM™ X-LITE spatulas excel during both the flattening and finishing stages of multi-finish plaster and are outstanding when used with airless plasters and drywall compounds.
For high or difficult-to-reach areas, REFINA clamp-fitting extension poles (sold separately) lock securely onto the ‘Z’ profile using a quick-clamp head. The pole maintains excellent control even when extended up to 4.0m, allowing you to skim ceilings, stairwells and large surfaces with precision and minimal effort.

Choosing the Right SUPERSKIM™ X-LITE Size
Although the performance is consistent across the range, the length of the spatula determines which applications it’s best suited to.
Available in a wide range of sizes, the flexible X-LITE SUPERSKIM spatula is designed for flattening, finishing, and skimming across a variety of applications. From precision work in tight or detailed areas to covering larger surfaces efficiently, it delivers consistent results every time.
Choose from sizes ranging from 25mm to 1200mm (1"–48").
