Precision Below the Surface: Mapei Solutions for Swimming Pool Installations in the Western Cape

The construction of swimming pools requires careful attention to the integration of durable material systems. In the Western Cape region where high end architecture and design, Mapei’s products continue to stand up to professional contractors and specifiers strict requirements.

Standout systems in recent works include Kerapoxy CQ and Kerapoxy Adhesive which are two specialized products that have been designed to withstand constant submersion in water, movement, and chemical treatment.

Kerapoxy CQ is a two-component epoxy grout with acid resistant properties. It is purpose-built to survive harsh environments such as pools and offers a smooth finish with outstanding physical strength and resistance to aggressive substances. Additionally, unlike grouts made of cement, Kerapoxy CQ does not deteriorate in the presence of water, aggressive cleaning, and chemical treatment due to its immersion and scrub resistant properties.

Alongside this, Kerapoxy Adhesive is able to provide unparalleled assurance where it matters most; tile adhesion under water. This two-component adhesive guarantees bond strength and dimensional stability in high damp environments. Its enhanced bonding strength proves essential towards the middle of the tile stack in mosaic and glass tile applications, where delamination or loss of adhesion can occur, resulting in costly maintenance and aesthetic compromise.
