Polishable, Self-Leveling Performance You Can Trust

Laticrete NXT Level DL (Decorative Layer) is a cement-based, fast-drying self-leveler that creates a durable, eye-catching wear surface in just one pour. From boutique retail shops to modern lofts, this overlay delivers a seamless, stone-like finish that can be polished to a brilliant sheen or tinted through the Laticrete AnyColor™ system for limitless design flexibility.

NXT Level DL is engineered for performance and aesthetic appeal. Its high-quality composition ensures a smooth, flat, and hard-wearing surface ideal for high-traffic indoor environments. The key to its versatility lies in its polishable nature, allowing for finishes ranging from a subtle matte sheen to a highly reflective gloss.

A standout feature of NXT Level DL is its compatibility with the Laticrete AnyColor™ program. This innovative system offers the ability to integrally pigment the topping to virtually any custom color, providing limitless design possibilities. Whether aiming for a specific brand color, a unique custom shade, or a classic concrete look, the AnyColor™ program delivers consistent and vibrant results.

Beyond its aesthetic flexibility, NXT Level DL is formulated with practicality and longevity in mind. It is equipped with Microban® antimicrobial product protection, which actively inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing mold and mildew on the surface of the floor. This built-in protection provides a continuous layer of cleanliness, making it an ideal solution for healthcare facilities, educational institutions, retail spaces, and any environment where hygiene is a priority.

The fast-drying nature of NXT Level DL allows for an expedited installation process, minimizing downtime and allowing for subsequent trades to access the area sooner. This self-leveling topping can be applied from 1/8″ to 1 1/4″ (3 to 32 mm) in a single lift, ensuring efficient and timely project completion.
