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.

Underwater edges such as steps or the front edge of the “Finnish” system must be accentuated with a stripe of a different colour (PN04, PN12). Depending on requirements, the following colour combinations are available: PN55 = PN04 + PN13 (dark blue and aquamarine) PN56 = PN12 + PN13 (black and aquamarine) PN57 = PN00 + PN12 (white and black) PN58 = PN00 + PN04 (white and dark blue) Special points

• 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.

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.

Floor claddings which are classified as having a high exposure to moisture require waterproofing and that the floors slope towards the drains. The slope of the waterproofing layer corresponds to that of the finished tiling. For ceramic tiles a slope of 1,5 % is usually sufficient. In showering rooms the floor in the vicinity of the showers should slope at a 3 % gradient. In this connection, see: German Association for the
