The Hidden Problem
Pools Move.
Traditional Adhesives Crack.
Concrete expands. Structures shift. Temperature
changes create tension beneath the surface.
Rigid adhesives can:
- Crack under movement
- Lose adhesion
- Create hollow spots
- Compromise waterproofing systems
PowerGel® S1+ is engineered to absorb movement
while maintaining maximum bond strength.
