Tank and swimming pool waterproofing system Waterproofing, laying and grouting products in swimming pools for ceramics, slabs, marble, natural stone and mosaics.

This document provides guidelines for the correct design and application of waterproofing and installation of ceramic, porcelain stoneware, large slabs, marble, natural stone and glass or ceramic mosaics in tanks or swimming pools created from reinforced concrete, panels or disposable formwork, fibreglass or metal structures. As these structures are in permanent contact with treated water, they must be waterproofed and protected from aggressive chemicals that would compromise their durability. The ceramics industry currently provides a vast range of materials for the creation of highly aesthetically...

To guarantee that the structure lasts, careful thought must be given, during the design phase, to the site where the work will be carried out and the kind of structure to be created. This is necessary to identify the most suitable type of cement, among the many available on the market, to make sure that the pool lasts as long as required. The UNI EN 206-1 and UNI 11104 standards describe in detail the parameters for structural calculations and measures to be taken depending on target environments, such as for example: Adequate thickness of concrete cover Strength class of concrete Environmental...

Protection and waterproofing of external structure surfaces Concrete, even if properly made in line with the above-mentioned criteria, is still subjected to the action of aggressive substances which, over time, can cause the structure to deteriorate. In fact, both the water in the ground (in the case of in-ground structures) and the water inside the tank contain these substances which, by penetrating the structure, compromise its durability. An important aspect to consider when designing in-ground pools is, therefore, the water table. This test will allow you to correctly define the best type...
