Specialty painting

Operating in Montreal for many years, our company is competent for everything related to pool painting. No matter what type of concrete pool you have, our team has the expertise to offer an impeccable result for painting work. Indeed, like tiles, paint is a pool coating called “dependent on the support”.

For those who do not understand, this means that this coating only guarantees the finish of the basin. It therefore does not ensure its tightness under any circumstances. This is why we must lay a layer of water-repellent coating before any application if the pool is not waterproof. We also make sure to prepare the pool well.

Indeed, preparation is the most important step in pool painting. If this step is done incorrectly, even if you have the best pool paint, it will not adhere properly to the pool surface. FYI, there are several types of pool paint, but the most popular is epoxy paint.

It is a high-quality paint that is in high demand on the market because it offers good waterproofness and elasticity. We expect an increase in the use of this paint for any type of concrete pool.

Chlorinated rubber paint

This flexible coating that is chlorinated rubber paint has been used for decades for the maintenance of concrete pools. This type of paint has exceptional characteristics allowing it to adapt to any type of pool. Chlorinated rubber paint offers excellent performance on new or already painted surfaces.

Very simple to install, it is a “component” painting. That is, it does not require mixing with a hardener. However, it can be custom blended to modify its properties and meet the needs of the most complex pools. It is a painting that is available in a wide variety of colors.

Our professionals are competent to help you implement this type of paint on your pool.

What are the main characteristics of chlorinated rubber paint?

This type of paint is characterized by:

• A drying time: 7 days;
• Chemical resistance: good resistance to discoloration and abrasion;
• Durability: 3 to 4 years under normal conditions with well-balanced water;
• A superficial yield: about 400 ft2/3.78 liters;
• Complete hardening: 7 days outside or 10-14 days inside.

Epoxy painting

Unlike other traditional paints (acrylic, vinyl, etc.), epoxy paint has stood out for its unique features. It is a coating with two polyamide components: a base and a hardener. It is included in the base of epoxy polymers that react on contact with the hardener.

Epoxy paint can be applied directly to new surfaces or to surfaces already covered with epoxy. Its installation requires attention, because if the application deadlines are not respected, the paint quickly becomes unusable. To this end, our professionals ensure that everything goes well.

This coating can be applied both inside and outside and on many supports. However, it is not possible to apply epoxy paint to a chlorinated rubber or acrylic-based paint.
