It is recommended that the pool tiles be grouted with MULTIFILL-EPOXY THIXO high strength and chemical resistant two-component epoxy tile grout. Tiles are fixed to the walls and bottom of the pool with one of the following tile adhesives ISOMAT AK-ELASTIC, ISOMAT AK-25 or ISOMAT AK-22. Thus, if necessary, the substrate is smoothed by the application of a strong cement mortar. Overlaying with ceramic tiles requires the formation of a smooth and stable substrate, on which they will be fixed. The addition of the crystalline AQUAMAT-ADMIX at a ratio of 0.8-1.0 kg per 100 kg of cement is also recommended. Moreover, during the concreting of the pool’s frame, the addition of PLASTIPROOF waterproofing admixture to the concrete at a ratio of 0.2-0.5% of cement weight is recommended. Resistance even to negative pressures, thus keeping the pool safe from both leaks and water ingress.
Strong bonding to the substrate and high resistance.The waterproofing layer created by using AQUAMAT-ELASTIC provides the following: The requirements for waterproofing the pool can be successfully covered by the application of AQUAMAT-ELASTIC two-component, highly flexible, waterproofing cement-based slurry to the walls and bottom of the pool. It is of primary importance for the supporting frame of the pool to have been correctly calculated, in order to effectively withstand hydrostatic pressure. The tile grout that will be used must have significant resistance to the chemical stress evolved from the chemicals added to the pool water and from the strong tile cleaners. The tile adhesive that will be chosen must show significant strength, high flexibility and resistance, since it will be continuously subjected to weather effects, to the pool’s water, and to the chemicals that this contains. It must bond strongly to the substrate and resist the probable negative pressure developed (for instance, when the pool is emptied and there is a periodic or permanent water table in the surrounding area).It must be long-lasting because its position between the pool’s structural elements and the layer of ceramic tiles makes future interventions difficult and expensive.It must be sufficiently flexible, particularly at the bottom of the pool, which is especially subjected to stress from expansions/contractions (mainly due to the influence of solar radiation), when the pool is empty.It must provide effective waterproofing.So, in this case, the waterproofing layer is applied prior to tiling and must have the following properties: Such a choice affects significantly the selection of the means for waterproofing the pool, since it sets specific requirements for the waterproofing to be carried out.
