For new as well as for renovation applications, the recommended pool interior is made of a non-toxic high polymer waterproofing membrane, reinforced with polyester mesh and UV stabilized. The PVC membrane is manufactured to the highest international standards offering high physical properties and long term durability. The 60mil. waterproofing membrane offers the following outstanding features:
- Easy to apply using hot air welding for overlaps;
- Custom-fitted and heat-welded on site;
- Remains flexible throughout its life span and could be easily heat-welded to new material after installation;
- High resistance to algae formation;
- Resistance to extreme weather conditions and U.V. rays;
- Reinforced with high tenacity polyester mesh;
- Tested according to ASTM standards;
- No more leaks, no more costly re-plastering or fiberglass resurfacing, painting or patching, no more acid-wash;
- Lower chemical consumption;
Smoother surface that your swimmers will enjoy.

| Adverse Conditions |
Desjoyaux Membrane |
Concrete/Plaster cementitious coatings |
Paint | Fiberglass Coatings |
Ceramic Tile |
| Cracking | Will never crack | Almost always cracks again | Always cracks | Almost always cracks & delaminates | Will crack and delaminate |
| Black Algae | Will not grow through or support algae growth | Will grow through | Will grow back through | Will support algae growth | Will support algae growth |
| Acid Resistance | Does not need acid washing | Can be acid washed | Unknown | Subject to chemical deterioration | Low: grout joints attacked |
| Pool Chemical Usage | Reduces chemical requirements by a wide margin | Contributes to alkalinity of water | Less than plaster | Less than plaster | Encourages and supports algae growth |
| Water- tightness | A watertight impervious membrane | Will crack, not watertight | Will leak, no effect on water tightness | Will delaminate and leak in time | May leak, crack, and delaminate |
| General Chemical Resistance | Not affected by normal pool treatment levels | Very poor | No protection | Will deteriorate | Grout joints will deteriorate |
| Expected Life | 15+ years | 3-5 years | 1-3 years | 3-5 years | 5-10 years |
