Impermax Waterproofing Membrane

Impermax Aqua is a revolutionary installation service offering the ultimate in strength, flexibility and longevity. Applied to any new or existing pool, it is a hand applied polyurethane membrane which is built up in layers to create a 3mm (120thou) pool skin with a tough, coloured surface – the overall system is durable enough to warrant a 25 year guarantee!

The process is simple, but the product is ingenious.

The pool shell/structure should be clean and dry with major repair works, such as re-rendering, completed, but minor cracks and seams can be covered and sealed as part of the installation. The pool is first primed before two layers of flexible, self levelling Impermax Aqua are applied – with a stretch factor of 400%, even the greatest movements in pool structures won’t compromise this membrane.

Top coats of Colodur 60% complete the process and give the coloured, almost unbreakable, surface. As the primer, Impermax Aqua and Colodur 60% are all polyurethane based,their bonding to each other is 100% sound.
The finished product is a completely seamless lining which can cover all aspects of the pool including steps, pits, troughs, ledges and other awkward angles and shapes which sometimes cannot be lined traditionally. The membrane is fully UV resistant and combats staining, scratching and pool water chemicals.

Both Impermax Aqua and Colodur 60% are BBA and ETA approved.

Poolworks are approved installers of these products.

• As a clear finish, Colodur 60% can be used to seal existing decorative finishes which have water oss issues, such as mosaic, marbelite/pacelite and decorated pools, along with offering protection and all its qualities as a sealant to pool surrounds whether they be stone, tile or timber.
• Curing time is required between layers.
• After final coat, a cure time of 10 days is required before adding water. Pool chemicals can then be added 5 days after this for the 25 year warranty to be valid.
