en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK building materials supplier Saint-Gobain Weber has launched the weberdry FLEXIBLE system, a complete integrated solution combining waterproofing, tile installation, and joint treatment, designed to provide more durable and long-lasting swimming pool facilities. This system meets the needs of both new construction and renovation projects, which often face challenges such as continuous water exposure, thermal changes, chemical treatments, and high-intensity usage, thus requiring compatible and high-performance solutions.
As summer approaches, the number of swimming pool construction and renovation projects increases, but ensuring the durability of facilities requires more than just selecting attractive cladding. The company emphasizes the importance of approaching these projects from a system-wide perspective, as each layer serves a specific function and must work together to reduce risks such as leaks, cracks, tile detachment, or premature joint aging.
Building a robust and durable swimming pool requires attention to three technical key points. The first is waterproofing of the pool structure, which is the primary step in ensuring watertightness. During construction, special attention must be paid to areas such as plane intersections, corners, drains, skimmers, lighting fixtures, or pipes passing through walls. If the system is not properly handled, these areas may become prone to leaks. The second key point is the installation of tile cladding. Swimming pools require adhesives capable of withstanding demanding conditions, such as constant moisture, water pressure, substrate movement, and temperature changes. Particularly in renovation projects with uneven surfaces or pre-existing damage, high-performance solutions must be used to ensure adequate adhesion. The third factor is joint treatment. Beyond aesthetic functions, joints play a crucial role in protecting the cladding, as they are continuously exposed to water, chemical products, frequent cleaning, and in some cases, salt-chlorine disinfection systems. Proper selection helps avoid issues such as color loss, cracking, or premature aging.
To meet these needs, Saint-Gobain Weber has launched the weberdry FLEXIBLE system, an integrated system that brings together the components required for constructing or renovating swimming pools, offering enhanced technical assurance. Within the system, weberdry IMPERFLEXGEL stands out as a solution for waterproofing the pool structure before tile installation. With its fibragel technology, this solution provides flexibility and crack resistance, helping to prevent leaks and improve overall protection. After waterproofing is addressed, webercol SUPERGEL erGO allows for the installation of tiles using a lightweight, highly deformable, and fine-textured super-adhesive gel, designed for ease of application and promoting high adhesion. The system is completed by webercolor PREMIUM OCEAN, a high-performance flexible joint material specifically developed for swimming pools. This solution is certified for use in salt-chlorine disinfection systems and helps maintain color and the durability of the final cladding finish.
