Braidwood Pool - Covered & Protected


From a concrete shell to this - you may recall we shared the Braidwood Pool back in May. We are excited to share an update on this project.

The team at Endevour Pools show how they have completely covered this public pool in Braidwood protecting their work against the elements, while a full LATICRETE pool tiling installation system is being used for the 400m2 pool.

Conventional Portland cement tile setting beds, thin-set adhesive mortars, groups, and cement plasters are often permanently damaged when subject to below-freezing temperatures immediately after installation. The water content of a mortar turning into ice often results in Portland cement gel structure rupturing with a significant loss in strength, flexibility, and durability. Subsequent repairs to the damaged work and resulting site delays are extremely costly.  

There is a simple rule to follow when the temperature is low during installation: The 10ºC Rule – for every 10ºC below 21ºC, Portland cement, and epoxy-based materials take twice as long to cureClick here to continue reading our helpful hints for Cold weather tiling & grouting.
