Execution of a mineral waterproofing and tile fixing in swimming pools
Tile coverings in swimming pools not only have to meet ever higher aesthetic requirements, they are also subject to the highest stresses. Careful detailed planning and construction are important prerequisites for ensuring long-term operational reliability. This also includes the use of products that have been tested in practice and certified for the specific application. For brine pools and similar pools, waterproofing and installation systems based on reactive resins are used due to the high stresses involved.

Tile fixing
1. After successful water trial filling, apply a contact coat of weber.xerm 852 (flexible tile and stone adhesive) or 861 (multi-use flexible tile adhesive) on the dried waterproofing layer with a smoothing trowel. Immediately after comb down a uniform adhesive bed with a notched trowel at an angle of 45° - 60°.

2. For reaching a void-free adhesive mortar bed it is imperative to choose the combined laying method (floating-buttering method). The aim is to achieve a contact of 95% between tile backside and substrate (full saturation bedding). Before a skin starts to form (check the tackiness of combed down tile adhesive with the finger) slide the tiles into the fresh mortar bed and press down.
