Swimming Pool Waterproofing





A full waterproofing system should be applied before putting the swimming pool in service. The cement base products are ideal for this application. The concrete is to be treated before fixing the tiles and the following steps are to be considered:

Ø  Preparation of the surface

Ø  Presence of holes

Ø  Honeycombing

Ø  Big holes & damaged concrete

Ø  Joints treatment

Ø  Plastering

Ø  Flooring screed

WATERPROOFING: After assuring that all the above steps have been maintained, the water tank is ready to receive the final product in the cement waterproofing system, the flexible high performance product is to be used in 3 layers.

TILING: Walls and floor of the swimming pool are ready to receive the final step of this system.

GROUTING: After the fixation of tiles, all the area must be cleaned with fresh water and kept untouched for 24 hours in order to allow the tiling to be set, then all the tiles joints should be filled with Carrojoint. Apply Carrojoint with a rubber spatula into the joints by filling all the gaps. Remove surplus grout with a damp sponge. Use the product within a maximum of 2 hours after mixing. When the grout is dry, clean the tiles with a dry cloth.

Reinforced concrete structures are usually used in the construction of swimming pools. As the swimming pool is permanently wet, normal concrete walls or hollow blocked walls will not be sufficient and water leakage will eventually appear. A full waterproofing system must be applied as a protection against aggressive agents to ensure its durability before the pool can be put in service.

Over time the waterproofing abilities of your pool may have deteriorated due to corrosion and wear. Our swimming pool waterproofing treatment is customised based on your swimming pool structure and tile usage and includes sealants and epoxy coating treatments. Our waterproofing systems gives a layer of protection to the concrete and allow longer usage without compromise to the integrity of your swimming pool structure.
