Our five-step approach to pool tiling involves.
1. Recommending the correct tile for your swimming pool.
Ceramic tiles made of wet clay known as slip is normally used.
Pool tiles are fired in a furnace, and glazed for durability and waterproofing.
Choose a tile that is either impervious or vitreous.
Vitreous tiles absorb 3 % of moisture they come in contact with.
Impervious tiles are the best at 0.5 % absorption.
2. Rigorous cleaning & levelling the pool surface before installation
The next step is to wash the pool walls and floor using a pressure washer.
This removes any dirt or pool chemicals left after construction.
Patches and holes need fixing before applying waterproofing paint.
Waterproofing membrane paint makes the pool surface waterproof and ready for installation.
3. Application of the best available mortar and grout
We then spread a latex-fortified mortar designed for prolonged use under wet surfaces.
The mortar used is polymer fortified for strength and to prevent discolouration from chemicals in the water.
4. Meticulously setting the tile
5. Diligently inspect the pool floor before certifying your swimming pool as ready to use.
Grouting the tiles after the mortar is cured for at least 24 hours give your swimming floor the crisp finished appearance.
A grout adds rigidity and strength and helps cover cracks.
They plug gaps between tile joints to make the pool surface waterproof.
