Which tile adhesive is suitable for swimming pools

The construction of an artificial swimming tank is a laborious process that requires a careful approach to the construction project, as well as an extremely scrupulous choice of materials. Ceramic tiles, marble and other natural stones are very popular as a facing material, especially for capital concrete pools. 

However, in order for the cladding to be not only aesthetically attractive, but also durable, a competent approach to the choice of tile adhesive is required. Today we will tell you more about what a good tile glue should be when arranging a swimming pool.

Requirements for tile glueMoisture resistance.

• It should be borne in mind that the tile adhesive should be absolutely waterproof, otherwise it is not even worth thinking about the durability of the masonry.
• High adhesion. The higher this indicator, the more reliably the lining will be glued to the base, which means it will withstand heavy loads and last longer.
• Resistance to vertical sliding. Since the pool bowl can have any shape, the tile adhesive must be highly resistant to slipping off vertical bases.
• Matching the tile size and the selected material. Modern tile adhesives have a narrow specialization and can be designed only for one or a couple of facing materials. Also, various adhesives are designed for tiles of different sizes. Therefore, when choosing large tiles with a size of 40x40 or more, it is worth paying attention to the suitability of glue for facing with this configuration and size.
