What factors should be considered when waterproofing a pool?

Subscriber Access

Beyond its shape, size, and location, the process of building a swimming pool involves selecting various technologies, solutions, and materials to achieve proper waterproofing. While we often focus on the exterior aesthetics of a pool, are we aware of what lies beneath its finishes? Much like an "iceberg effect," pool design and construction companies such as CREST have developed a range of essential products that lie below ground level, applied through four specific steps: surface preparation, finish installation, grouting, and maintenance.

Surface Preparation

The process begins with the application of an eco-cement-based powder waterproofing agent. Mixing the waterproofing agent with water produces a material resistant to hydrostatic pressure, capable of withstanding constant water submersion.
