Waterproofing and sealing pools are key steps in the construction and renovation process to ensure the durability and functionality of the structure. Appropriately selected m1TP2insulation materials protect the pool from leaks while protecting its surface from the negative effects of water and water treatment chemicals. Proper waterproofing eliminates the risk of micro-organisms and erosion of the pool surface, which has a direct impact on the comfort of use and aesthetics of the facility. In the Water Block range, you will find modern solutions to meet the requirements of any type of swimming pool, both indoor and outdoor.

Why is pool waterproofing so important?

Waterproofing a swimming pool is not only a question of leak protection, but also of durability and structural safety. By opting for professional solutions from our range, you can count on:

  • protection against water penetration and structural damage,
  • protection of surfaces against the effects of chemicals,
  • eliminating the risk of mould and mildew formation on surfaces exposed to water,
  • extending the life of the pool and reducing maintenance costs.

At Water Block, we offer comprehensive waterproofing systems that are suitable for both new constructions and the renovation of older facilities. With our products, your pool will be safe, durable and resistant to harmful elements.

What are the steps for waterproofing and sealing pools?

The process of waterproofing a swimming pool requires precise execution, and each step is crucial to the final tightness of the structure. Firstly, the substrate must be properly prepared by removing any unevenness and debris. The next stage involves the application of primers, such as WB Primer which provide better adhesion of m1TP2waterproofing materials. An insulation layer is then applied, which forms a barrier against water and chemicals, protecting the entire structure. The layer is based on the so-called triple protection: the first insulation layer, which does double duty, i.e. serves as a waterproofing and at the same time as an adhesive for the membrane. WB Duo Flex. WB MembraneThis is the second layer, which is not only a very strong insulation, but also reinforces the entire insulation. The final stage of waterproofing is the application of the 3rd layer of insulation WB 2K - which closes the whole. 

By using the high quality m1TP2Materials in our range, waterproofing is carried out efficiently and effectively and your pool gains lasting protection against leaks and degradation.

What waterproofing products do we offer?

At Water Block you will find a wide range of products dedicated to waterproofing and sealing swimming pools. We offer one-component and two-component systems that work well in both large and small sized structures. Our solutions also include flexible waterproofing coatings that adapt perfectly to the shapes of the structure, ensuring a complete seal.

We offer UV- and chemical-resistant products, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor pools. Thanks to the versatility of our solutions, every project can be realised to the highest industry standards.

What are the benefits of pool waterproofing?

Waterproofing pools is an investment in their longevity and aesthetics. A properly protected pool can last for decades with minimal maintenance costs. The use of modern mater insulation materials eliminates the risk of leaks and provides protection against external influences such as fluctuating temperatures and humidity.

With professional waterproofing, you can enjoy comfortable use and minimal ongoing maintenance.

Advantages of the system:

Very good adhesion of insulation to concrete and other substrates. The waterproofing in the system with WB MEMBRANE forms a highly elastic layer. It is also resistant to pool water and cleaning agents and maintains constant technical parameters. It can be used as insulation for an expansion tank

The use of WB Membrane together with Waterproofing provides a long-term guarantee of water tightness. The membrane reinforces the substrate and improves its tightness in areas of high water pressure. WB Membrane has a hydrostatic pressure resistance of 0.5 MPa, a temperature resistance of - 30 °C to + 90 °C and a high tensile strength of 13 MPa. It can withstand a water column pressure of 50 metres per square cm. It is also a great insulation for a garden pool.

How to properly insulate a swimming pool:

  • Prepare the pool basin by levelling the substrate and cleaning off any dirt.
  • The concrete should first be primed with WB PRIMER. Priming not only strengthens the substrate, but above all improves the adhesion of the waterproofing.
  • Secure all corners, cracks as well as the fixing points of the drains with WB TAPE PRO.
  • Apply the first layer of waterproofing WB DUO FLEX (approx. 2 mm), into which WB Membrane is immediately embedded (see instruction corner)
  • Remember to make 10 cm overlaps of the membrane
  • Once WB MEMBRANE has been applied to the entire surface, you can proceed to apply a layer of WB 2K.
  • On top of this waterproofing you can now lay the finishing layer of tiles. Be sure to use the right adhesive and grout for this. WB FLEX GLUE and WB FUGE FLEX are adhesive and grout designed for such demanding areas.
