Q7 systems for swimming pools and water parks

The reliable STEULER- Q7 system is used in a wide range of swimming pool facilities, water parks, bath complexes, spas and rooms such as saunas, showers, etc. It is used not only in new facilities, but also in the renovation and modernisation of existing ones.

The chlorobutyl rubber-based soft compound which has been used for many years, performs very well as a rubber sealing membrane under ceramic lining. It has a high chemical resistance with simultaneous high mechanical strength. Due to its guaranteed tightness, exceptional chemical resistance and flexibility, it is very suitable for use in facilities:

– located above the ground surface (building floors)

– located on geologically unstable land

– containing water with corrosive additives (healing waters)

Method of use

The foundation for the STEULER-Q7 system is the current-conducting layer needed for the performance of a leakage test after the rubber membrane has been laid. This layer is an approx. 1 mm thick coating of epoxy resin on a concrete substrate. The resin fills pores, holes and other surface defects to form a tight and smooth coating. On top of the substrate prepared in this way, a 2 mm thick layer of flexible pre-vulcanised rubber is applied. Then, its tightness is tested using an electro-spark instrument of approx. 7 kV. Once a positive result is obtained, another layer of epoxy resin enriched with quartz sand is applied to the rubber lining (to achieve the appropriate roughness and adhesion of the ceramic layer). Ceramic tiles and ceramic overflow systems are laid on top of the membrane thus made, according to a previously made design.
