Waterproofing system in swimming pool

Aigosthena was an ancient Greek fortified port city of Megaris, It is also the name of the coastal settlement at the foot of the ancient city walls, also known as Porto Germeno. The ancient citadel which stands at the foot of Mt Cithaeron and extends down to the sea at the inlet of Aigosthena, on the east side of the Gulf of Corinth, is famous for retaining several of the tallest surviving towers of ancient Greece.

The surface of the swimming pool represents 130m² and the unique feature of the swimming pool is that it uses salt water directly from the sea.
Seawater is even more harmful to concrete, as it can quickly corrode the metalwork. That’s why is really important to waterproof the swimming pool.

The installation of tiles in and around swimming pools has always been a critical application and Bostik has extensive expertise and experience of providing the ideal solution with a complete system. Firstly, the substrate is prepared, made good and levelled with an appropriate cementitious repair mortar / surface smoothing mortar. Then fiber-reinforced, cementitious waterproofing mortar is applied, which ensures durable, long-term waterproofing of the area. A special flexible, cement-based tile adhesive is then used, which can withstand thermal shock on the substrate, as well as continuous immersion. An epoxy resin-based grout with high mechanical and chemical resistance is applied.
