Solutions for Waterproofing & Tile Application on Pool - Quick Solution


Surface Preparation

It is important to check the strength of old tiles in the pool. If there are any broken or displaced tiles, these tiles should be removed and the gap must be filled 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. The empty space can also be repaired by bonding a solid tile.

4506 Kalekim Dolgulu Astar (Smooth Surface Primer) should be used to increase the bonding strength before waterproofing application.

Waterproofing Application

Before ceramic tile application on existing tiles in swimming pools, Izoline 100, which is a 3 layer extra elastic waterproofing membrane that is composed of modified polyethylene films laminated in between polypropylene seals with high alkali resistance, is applied to get the quickest solution during the high season. Kalekim Waterproofing Tape (Type III) and Izoline 100 Complementary Components should be installed with 1062 Technopool tile adhesive mortar (minimum C2 and S1 class) at critic areas such as existing tile floor wall and corners, pipe details (inner corner, outer corner, pipe and drain cuffs).

Depending on the area to be applied, Izoline 100 waterproofing membrane is cut to appropriate sizes and installed on 1062 Technopool ceramic adhesive mortar applied with by means of a 4 mm or 6 mm notched trowel. 100% surface adhesion of Izoline 100 must be ensured by removing the excessive mortar underneath by applying force from the center to the edges by means of a trowel in a way that no air bubbles remain on the surface. Membranes should be joined end to end in areas exposed to continuous and high water pressure, such as pools. Joints of membranes added to end-to-end should be insulated by applying a flexible waterproofing material such as 3024 İzolatex Plus and Kalekim Pah Bandı (Waterproofing Tape) - Type III. 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

In cases where no immediate ceramic tile application will be made on Izoline 100, the surface should be protected from direct sunlight and rain. Upon completion of Izoline 100 application, ceramic application can be started without waiting. Extra flexible (S2), adhesive mortar 1062 Technopool should be used in ceramic bonding application. Regarding the grouting mortar application, 2900 Fugapool grouting mortar, which features both water repellency and flexibility, will be a perfect system complement in pools.
