WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
ON SWIMMING POOL
A SWIMMING POOL WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
FORMS A PROTECTIVE LAYER OVER THE CONCRETE
SHELL, SEALING IT AGAINST LEAKS AND SHIELDING IT
FROM MOISTURE AND CHEMICAL HARM. IT’S DESIGNED
TO STAY FLEXIBLE, JOINT-FREE, AND CAPABLE OF
WITHSTANDING WATER PRESSURE.

1. REINFORCED PVC MEMBRANES (SHEET-TYPE):

INSTALLED BY HEAT-WELDING SEAMS OVER A
PRIMED OR INSULATED SURFACE; MAINTENANCE
INCLUDES PERIODIC INSPECTION OF SEAMS, RE-
WELDING LOOSE JOINTS, CLEANING DEBRIS, AND
ENSURING NO PUNCTURES OR UV DAMAGE.

2. LIQUID/CEMENTITIOUS MEMBRANES
(ACRYLIC, PU, BITUMINOUS, EPOXY):
APPLIED BY BRUSH, ROLLER, OR SPRAY IN
MULTIPLE COATS OVER A SMOOTH, DRY
SUBSTRATE; MAINTENANCE INVOLVES
RECOATING EVERY FEW YEARS, CHECKING FOR
CRACKS, BLISTERS, OR UV WEAR, AND KEEPING
THE SURFACE CLEAN TO PREVENT PONDING.

BITUMINOUS OR RUBBERIZED SHEET MEMBRANES:

LAID USING TORCH-ON OR SELF-ADHESIVE APPLICATION WITH
TIGHT OVERLAPS ON A PRIMED SURFACE; MAINTENANCE REQUIRES
REGULAR INSPECTION OF JOINTS, PATCHING OR RE-TORCHING
DAMAGED AREAS, AND REMOVING ACCUMULATED DIRT OR PLANT
GROWTH TO PREVENT WATER POOLING.
 WATERPROOFING
WATERPROOFING KEEPS WATER OUT, WHILE THERMAL INSULATION CONTROLS HEAT
Thermal insulation
XPS IS IDEAL ABOVE MEMBRANES DUE TO LOW WATER ABSORPTION, WHILE EPS OR
FLOW. TOGETHER, THEY PROTECT THE STRUCTURE, PREVENT MOISTURE DAMAGE, AND MINERAL WOOL WORK BETTER BELOW. SOME MEMBRANES NEED A GEOTEXTILE OR
IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY. IN A CONVENTIONAL ROOF, INSULATION LIES BELOW PRIMER LAYER FOR PROPER BONDING. POOR COORDINATION CAN TRAP MOISTURE,
THE WATERPROOFING, LEAVING THE MEMBRANE EXPOSED TO UV AND HEAT. IN AN CAUSING BLISTERING OR MOLD. PROPER VAPOR BARRIERS, DRAINAGE SLOPES, AND
INVERTED ROOF, INSULATION IS PLACED ABOVE THE MEMBRANE, SHIELDING IT FROM VENTILATION PREVENT CONDENSATION AND MAINTAIN SYSTEM INTEGRITY.
WEATHER AND EXTENDING ITS LIFE, BEST FOR FLAT ROOFS. WATERPROOFING PROTECTS AGAINST WATER; INSULATION MANAGES TEMPERATURE.
WHEN INTEGRATED WELL, THEY CREATE A DURABLE, COMFORTABLE, AND ENERGY-
EFFICIENT ROOF SYSTEM.

PROTECTIVE COATING. TO ENSURE INSULATION AND WATERPROOFING PROVIDES STRONG PROTECTION CONTINUITY AND MOISTURE
LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY. THESE FOAMS ARE QUICK AGAINST BOTH MOISTURE INGRESS RESISTANCE. REFLECTIVE PAINTS
PREVENT UV DEGRADATION, A AND EASY TO INSTALL, WITH MINIMAL AND TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS. AND/OR MEMBRANES ALSO DO ALIKE

GRAVEL STOP Reglet

INSTALLED ALONG THE EDGES OF A ROOF, PLACED ON TOP OF A PARAPET WALL OR
SPECIFICALLY WHERE THE ROOF MEETS THE SIMILAR EXPOSED SURFACE TO PREVENT WATER
EAVES OR GUTTERS. ITS MAIN ROLE IS TO STOP FROM PENETRATING THE WALL. IN A
WATER FROM SEEPING BENEATH THE ROOFING WATERPROOFING SYSTEM, ITS MAIN FUNCTION
MATERIALS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO LEAKS, IS TO SEAL AND SHIELD THE TOP OF THE WALL

DECK. WHEN RAINWATER RUNS DOWN THE SEEP DOWN AND CAUSE LEAKS, CRACKS, OR
ROOF, THE EAVE FLASHING DIRECTS IT SAFELY DETERIORATION. COPING IS USUALLY MADE OF
INTO THE GUTTER INSTEAD OF LETTING IT FLOW METAL, STONE, OR CONCRETE AND IS DESIGNED
UNDER THE SHINGLES OR MEMBRANE. IN WITH SLIGHT SLOPES OR DRIP EDGES TO DIRECT
SHORT, IT ACTS AS A WATERPROOF BARRIER AT WATER AWAY FROM THE WALL FACE. BY
ONE OF THE MOST VULNERABLE PARTS OF THE KEEPING MOISTURE OUT OF THE WALL
