Waterproofing Solution for Royal Cliff Beach Hotel, Pattaya
In January 2020, the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel in Pattaya required a robust waterproofing solution for its new swimming pool and expansion joints. Triflex was chosen for the project due to its expertise in delivering high-performance waterproofing systems that can withstand water pressure and complex structural dynamics.
The Challenge
The hotel’s cantilever swimming pool posed a unique challenge due to the significant water pressure and the expansion and contraction requirements of the structure. The existing expansion joints needed a solution that could handle these dynamics while maintaining the pool’s structural integrity. With the pool tiles already in place, dismantling them was impractical, making a liquid-applied resin solution essential.
The Solution
After a detailed on-site survey, Triflex JWS was selected for the expansion joints, reinforced with fleece for added durability and flexibility. The fleece reinforcement was specifically calculated to expand in alignment with the pool’s movements, ensuring long-term waterproofing integrity.
For the final layer, Triflex ProDetail, broadcast with dry quartz sand, was applied to create mechanical adhesion for the tiling layer, providing robust protection against water ingress and enhancing the structure’s longevity.
