The (nominal) length of the functional trims (200 mm) determines a basic linear division for the dimensions of the pool in multiples of 200 mm. As in masonry, this is a break dimension and an additional joint must be included.
Special notes: Please specify in your order if you require lattice paper on the front side of mosaic tiles. All system components and trims are made by order for your specific project. After clarification of technical feasibility, other colours from the PRO ARCHITECTURA range are available on request for an extra charge of 30%.
• The finished length of the pool is therefore calculated as follows: finished length = n x 200 mm + 3 mm • The rough shell length is calculated as follows: Rough shell length = finished length + 2 x construction thickness of walls The walls are made of plaster, mortar and tiles = generally 25 mm. The rough shell length is therefore the finished length + 50 mm. • The position of the drains: position from edge = n x 200 mm + 101.5 mm • The axial spacing of the drains is: centre distance = n x 200 mm • The pool depth is calculated by: depth = height of trim + n x 100 mm + 5 mm To allow continual and uniform overflow, care must be taken when laying the pool edge that it is perfectly horizontal and level. According to the German “Guidelines for pool construction” deviations in height of +/- 2 mm are acceptable.

In Germany, “Finnish” overflow systems are expected to satisfy the following requirements: • The pool edge must offer something to hold onto (grip). • The grip must be 15 mm high/deep. • The grip must be situated within 100 mm of the vertical wall of the pool. • The rear side of the grip should be as vertical as possible. • The top of the grip must be accentuated by means of a stripe of contrasting colour measuring at least 2.5 cm across. • The slope of the washover incline must be max. 10 %, and the surface finish must answer the description of slip resistance category C.

• The rounded-off pool border is higher than the pool surrounding. • The water level is approximately 50-60 cm above the pool surrounding. • The water flows over the pool border, running down the outside and into the overflow channel, which is flush with the pool surrounding. The overflow is executed either as a shallow, open trough or as a grate-covered, tiled channel. • Small format tiles are preferable. • With deference to possible erosion, epoxy resin should be used for filling the joints.

Swimming pool construction Pools with composite seal (CS) with ceramic covering As a technical rule for this type of waterproofing see theleaflet from the ZDB “Ceramic tiles in swimming pool construction - Advice on planning and implementation.” and DIN 18195-7. This standard is to be replaced by DIN 18535 “Waterproofing of tanks and pools”, which is currently in draft form. Materials used: • Synthetic mortar mixtures – dry layer thickness min. 2.0 mm • Reactive resins – dry layer thickness min. 1.0 mm or the minimum layer thicknesses as specified in the general building inspectorate test certificates of the respective manufacturer must be observed. Suitable bases • Concrete in accordance with DIN 1405 / EN 206 and DIN 4227 • Levelling plaster in accordance with DIN 18550, mortar group PIII
• Levelling screed as bonded levelling screed in accordance with DIN 18560, quality class CT C25 F4 The dimensional accuracy of the backing should correspond with the finished cladding. Considerable unevenness should be compensated for beforehand with underlay waterproof plaster or levelling screed. The base material must be free of abherents, debris, dust, binding agents, efflorescence or other contaminants that could impair adhesion. Concrete surfaces on the pool walls should be sandblasted. Resulting cracks or the movement of existing cracks should not exceed 0.2 mm unless there is proof that the relevant sealant is able to bridge larger cracks.

The limits on flatness deviation pursuant to Table 3, lines 3 and 6 and, where appropriate, Swimming pool construction
line 7, of DIN 18202, ‘Tolerances in building construction’, must be observed. The tiles are laid mainly across the entire surface of the duly prepared substrate using a suitable C2 thin-bed mortar in accordance with DIN-EN 12004.
Note: To ensure swimming pool water of hygienic quality, the water is to be treated and disinfected in accordance with DIN 19643-1 (treatment of water for swimming pools). To prevent fungal attack, the surfacing is to undergo thorough cleaning once annually, replacing the entire filling of water.
