Moisture-resistant panels for pools and spas: selection guide

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.
