Swimming Pool Waterproofing – Practical Tips Based on Implementation

How to Waterproof a Swimming Pool? A Case Study

A great example of effective swimming pool waterproofing is the rehabilitation and recreational center "Panorama." By applying a comprehensive approach and modern technologies, the facility has been secured for many years.

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is essential for any waterproofing project. For the swimming pool at ORW Panorama, the following were used:

• MIX C500 REPO leveling mortar to eliminate irregularities and strengthen the substrate.
• HAFT EMULSION KONZENTRAT as a bonding bridge to ensure excellent adhesion of subsequent layers.

Step 2: Application of Waterproofing

A key stage was the application of a sealing mortar:

• BLOCK C750 FLEX, a fiber-reinforced single-component sealing mortar, which protects both walls and the pool floor from leaks and moisture.
• SANITARY BAND EXTRA.120/70 was used at wall-to-floor joints as a specialized waterproofing tape.

Step 3: Installation of Overflow Channels and Expansion Joints

• Prefabricated overflow channels were installed using ARDAFLEX XTREM, an epoxy adhesive resistant to moisture and chemicals.
• Expansion joints were sealed using P.E. ROUND PROFILE joint backing cord and P795 SEAL'N'FLEX PREMIUM polyurethane sealant.

Step 4: Surface Finishing

Finally, the pool was finished with tiles using:

• ARDAFLEX XTREM, an epoxy adhesive, for secure tile fixing.
• Ardacolor Xtrem Easy, an epoxy grout, to provide durability and ease of cleaning.
