Moisture resistance is the main and main parameter when choosing glue for swimming pools. It is this adhesive composition that will provide high-quality waterproofing during long contact with water. Thermal pools are lined with tiles that are developed exclusively for these purposes. It is necessary to choose the mixture very responsibly, because the solution can spoil the advantages of even the highest quality tiles.
The usual waterproof glue used in bathrooms will not work, since it is not designed for constant contact with moisture. It is necessary to take into account the conditions for the use of objects. After all, the bathroom, where there is always a possibility of high humidity, is exposed periodically and for a very short time.
How to choose a tile adhesive for a thermal pool?
To work with thermal pools, it is advised to use an elastic high-performance adhesive, which is chosen for tiles made of ceramics, porcelain or granite.
The scope of such a mixture is quite diverse and wide, especially relevant for objects where there are high temperature differences. Glue is used for:
- facing of terraces and balconies
- objects with heavy traffic
- heated facilities
- pools and baths
- freezers.
The highly effective Teknofay Flex - C2TES1 adhesive is easy to use and does not slip in operation, including when laying the material vertically. It is characterized by good adhesion properties and does not react at all to prolonged contact with water. The glue contains special antifungal additives, which subsequently prevent mold fungi from multiplying.
How to work with tile glue for thermal pools?
Before applying glue to the surface, it must be completely cleaned of all kinds of agents and substances that can reduce adhesion. If you notice cracks on the surface, be sure to seal them with a cement mixture.
If you plan to put the tile on concrete, then first moisten it, and it is better to prime the surface. For the correct proportions, we recommend using about 7 liters of water and 25 kg of Teknofay Flex mixture. Mix the solution with a mixer until smooth, leave for 5-7 minutes and mix again.
What are the features of working with tile glue?
The ideal temperature for work is considered to be 5-35 degrees Celsius. But if you still work in other conditions (both lower and higher), then we recommend using thermal insulation material after work, which you need to cover the tile with.
It is best to protect the surface from any weather conditions for the first few days.
