Before any installation begins, our certified installers conduct a thorough site assessment that includes:
This phase is critical for preventing common installation errors that could compromise safety. For example, improper drainage planning can lead to water pooling between tiles, while incorrect traffic flow analysis might place high-friction areas in low-traffic zones where they’re unnecessary.
Proper surface preparation is the foundation of a successful Aqua Tile installation. Our process includes:
Substrate cleaning: Â Using our proprietary cleaning solution to remove oils, dirt, and contaminants that could prevent proper adhesion
Moisture testing: Verifying the surface is completely dry using specialized moisture meters (critical for concrete substrates)
Leveling: Addressing any unevenness with our self-leveling compound (tolerances within 1/8″ over 10 feet)
Priming: Applying our specialized primer that creates the optimal bonding surface for Aqua Tile’s adhesive
This preparation phase is why we recommend a minimum 3-day lead time for most water park installations. Rushing this step can lead to adhesion failures, which we’ve seen in facilities that attempted DIY installations with improper surface prep.
Our installation team uses a systematic approach to ensure perfect alignment and maximum safety:
Layout marking: Using chalk lines to create a precise grid based on your design plan (3-color blends or thematic patterns)
Adhesive application: Applying our high-performance adhesive in a staggered pattern to prevent shifting
For water parks with complex designs, we often use our digital layout software to pre-plan the entire installation. This technology allows us to:
No Aqua Tile installation is complete without our rigorous quality control process:
This certification process gives facility managers the documentation they need for insurance purposes and liability protection. In fact, 87% of facilities that install Aqua Tile report reduced insurance premiums within 12 months due to our documented safety standards.
From splash pads and pool decks to aquatic play environments and commercial facilities, Aqua Tile delivers durable, slip-resistant surfacing solutions designed for long-term safety, comfort, and visual impact.
