Adhesives and Grouts for Mosaic Tiles in Pools from MDC Mosaics

Adhesives and grouts for mosaic tiles in swimming pools

When using mosaic tiles in swimming pools you want to know that the adhesives and grouts that you use with them are going to do the job. You want the adhesive to keep the mosaic tiles attached to the pool surface and the grout to keep looking good, with as little as possible maintenance, for as long as possible.

When using cement based adhesives in swimming pools it is best used with a latex additive to improve adhesion to the substrate. This will also improve the deformability and it's ability to resist water once hydration has taken place.

Cement based grouts are widely used in swimming pools and there are many available with added properties for aiding mould resistance and water repellent qualities. These types of grouts come in a wide range of colours to match your tile colour. They have a consistent colour and are resistant to fading.

Epoxy grouts are the next step up and ideal for immersed conditions such as swimming pools and spas. They may be more expensive to start with but they have many qualities to balance this out. They are virtually stain proof and set extremely hard. Epoxy grouts are also suitable for use with salt and thermal water and have a high chemical resistance. The final surface is smooth with low water absorption. The wide ranges of colours available are uniform and resistant to fading.
