Moisture-resistant panels for pools and spas: selection guide
How to choose the right panels for high-humidity spaces: pools, saunas, showers and spa zones.
High humidity, chlorinated water and temperature fluctuations create extreme conditions for finishing materials. The right choice of panels ensures durability and aesthetics of your project.
Challenges of humid spaces
Pools, saunas, showers and spa zones are spaces with the most challenging operating conditions. Here materials are subjected to:
- Constant high humidity (80-100%)
- Exposure to chlorinated water and chemicals
- Sharp temperature fluctuations
- Mechanical stress
- Growth of fungi and mould
Requirements for panels in humid spaces
For successful operation in high-humidity conditions, panels must meet strict requirements:
| Parameter | Minimum value | GYPSUN Aqua |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture resistance | 95% | 98% |
| Water absorption | <3% | 1.5% |
| Chlorine resistance | 0.1% | 0.5% |
| Antibacterial property | 99% | 99.9% |
GYPSUN Aqua series
The GYPSUN Aqua series is specially designed for humid spaces. The panels have moisture resistance up to 98% and an antibacterial coating based on silver ions.
Advantages of the Aqua series:
- Resistance to chlorine and disinfectants
- Antibacterial coating — kills 99.9% of bacteria
- Do not absorb moisture and odours
- Easy to clean
- 15-year warranty
Installation in humid spaces
When installing in humid zones, use stainless steel fasteners and waterproof sealants for joints. We recommend concealed installation for complete watertightness.
