Swimming Pool Waterproofing
Best Swimming Pool Waterproofing Solution
Finding the right swimming pool waterproofing products can make or break the longevity of your pool. SKIN Microplaster is a complete waterproofing system that acts as a waterproof membrane, protective coating, and decorative finish — all in one product. It is the only waterproofing solution on the market designed specifically for water-bearing vessels, giving pool owners and contractors a single-product system that simplifies every application.
SKIN Microplaster is a two-component, water-based waterproofing system that combines a proprietary dry micro-ceramic compound with a high-performance resin. Once mixed, it is easy to apply — forming a continuous waterproof membrane that bonds directly to concrete, tile, existing plaster, and most other substrates. There is no need for a separate primer, adhesive, or coating — the system delivers waterproofing and a finished surface in a single application process.
Each component of the system is engineered to work together. The ceramic base material fills micro-pores in the substrate while the resin creates an impervious barrier that resists hydrostatic pressure, chemical exposure, and UV degradation. SKIN can be applied over tile, coping, and cementitious surfaces with no cold joints — producing a seamless, monolithic membrane across every area of the pool shell.
Waterproofing Products for Every Pool and Spa
Whether your project is an in-ground residential pool, an elevated commercial spa, a decorative fountain, or a rooftop water feature, SKIN Microplaster waterproofing products adapt to every design requirement. The system works on new construction builds and renovation projects alike, covering areas from the pool floor and walls to the surrounding deck, balcony transitions, and water features.
SKIN Foundation, the companion product in our waterproofing system, fills voids and rebuilds damaged ground-level substrates before the finish coat is applied. Together, these products give contractors a complete building solution — from structural repair to final aesthetic — with fewer materials and less labor than traditional pool waterproofing systems.
Choose from our full range of SKIN Tones to match any pool design, patio style, or architectural vision. The finish can be applied from feathered edge to 2-inch lifts, making it versatile enough for detailed tile replacement zones, broad pool surfaces, and everything in between.
Long-Lasting Performance and Protection
Pool waterproofing failures typically start at the weakest points — cracks, joints, and areas of hydrostatic pressure behind the shell. SKIN Microplaster eliminates these vulnerabilities with a seamless, flexible membrane that bridges hairline cracks and withstands constant water pressure without delamination. The result is long-lasting protection against leaks, structural damage, and chemical corrosion of the concrete and rebar beneath.
Unlike polyurea or polyurethane coatings that can yellow, peel, or require frequent recoating, SKIN Microplaster maintains its color and performance for years. It meets rigorous industry standards including ASTM, NSF, and Miami-Dade NOA certifications. Every technical detail — from permeation resistance to fire rating — is backed by independent lab testing, giving contractors and pool industry professionals confidence in every swim season ahead.
Because SKIN is a micro-cement coating, the volume of product needed is drastically less than traditional pool plaster. A typical 700-square-foot pool requires only seven containers of dry compound and seven jugs of resin. The streamlined application process means faster project completion, lower material costs, and a waterproof pool that is ready to swim in just 72 hours after the final coat.
