WATERPROOFING

As simple as it may seem it is essential for a swimming pool to be waterproof. This is not a simple matter, as there are many locations that even the very best concrete swimming pool shell can leak from. A leaking pool will increase running costs, requiring more regular topping up leading to increased heating and chemical consumption. As well as have the potential to create unforeseen issues on the external side of the pool shell. Utilising our wealth of experience with a combination of tried and tested techniques with advanced waterproofing products we produce swimming pools which do not leak.

WATERPROOF RENDER

Joyce Swimming Pools combine traditional tried and tested methods with modern waterproofing admixtures. Creating a polymer modified, fiber reinforced waterproof render which creates a flexible, in terms of concrete, crack resistant waterproof barrier. This not only stops the pool from leaking but also prevents the ingress of ground water through the concrete shell.
Traditional rendering methods are not limited, unlike modern pre bagged renders, by thicknesses which allows us to create a pool with flat, plumb and level walls and floors no matter the quality of the pool shell construction.

FLEXIBLE CEMENT BASED TANKING

Additionally to our waterproof render a secondary flexible cement based tanking membrane can be applied. This can incorporate fiberglass mesh to further reduce the possibilty of minor cracking. The use of a secondary membrane is advised to reduce leeching or effervescence from render into the swimming pool, this is more noticed on large format porcelain tiling.
