Solutions for Waterproofing & Ceramic Tile Application in Swimming Pools

Surface Preparation

It should be ensured that the reinforced concrete or plastered surface is free of residues that will prevent adhesion, clean, dry and sound. If there are defects on the application sub-surface, it should be repaired with 4002 Tamirart 30 thick repair mortar. If there are structural cracks on the surface, sulfate and chlorine resistant 4004 Tamirart S40 should be used. 4505 Kalekim Astar (Primer) should be applied before application of waterproofing material for extremely absorbent surfaces.

Waterproofing Application

3024 Izolatex Plus, which is a cement based, one component, waterproofing material and has certificate of compliance for use in drinking water reservoirs, should be applied for under-tile waterproofing in water reservoirs. Existing floor wall and corner joints should be reinforced with Kalekim Pah Bandı (Waterproofing Tape) (Type III). The tape should be installed carefully on the waterproofing material, the first layer of which has been applied with a brush or a roller, in a way that the center of the tape matches with the joint. The second layer should be applied after waiting for 5-6 hours between layer application depending on the ambient temperature. After the surface dries, it should be waited for 7 days for full setting and leak-tightness tests should be carried out for 24 hours.

Tiling and Grouting

1062 Technopool S2 class flexible tile adhesive mortar, which is especially developed for pools and contributes to water impermeability thanks to its high polymer content, should be used for tile bonding application on flexible waterproofing material. Regarding the grouting mortar application, 2900 Fugapool grouting mortar, which is again especially developed for pools and features high performance and flexibility, will be a perfect system complement in pools.
