Impressive technology and versatile design: with

the new modular range, we are offering you all the

elements and trims you need for both building

new and renovating existing swimming pools and

wellness facilities. As your contact for ambitious

planning requirements, we accompany you from

the initial idea through to implementation.

Improvements to key components in our range

include, for example:

• Expansion of the trim system for the ”Finnish“

and ”Wiesbaden“ overflow channel and inclu-

sion of trims for the ”Berlin“ overflow channel

• New overflow channels for all systems with a

variable channel size

• New trims for shallow drainage channels in the

pool rim

• Additions to the curved and cove base ceramic

beading system

• Enlargement of the overflow channel volume

and of the outlet openings to increase the outlet

quantity

• Black as new colour alongside white,

aquamarine and dark blue

• New format 10 x 20 cm for PRO ARCHITECTURA

with barefoot B and C slip resistance

Villeroy & Boch tiles also offers you the following

service:

• Individual technical advice for swimming pool

projects (new construction and renovation)

• Design planning

• CAD-supported, structural design of swimming

pools

In combination with modular concepts, such as

PRO ARCHITECTURA and various vilbostone

porcelain stoneware ranges, you have great free-

dom when designing a wide variety of different

swimming pools.

Defining the modular dimensions

Fundamentals of swimming pool construction

Formats larger than 10 x 10 cm are supplied loose

in the box.

All pool dimensions (rough shell and finished),

fixtures, recesses for inlets and drains must be coor-

dinated. The rough shell planning is made on the

basis of the tile planning. The V&B Fliesen GmbH

tile planning service is free of charge.

The line of swimming pool ceramics consists

of modular trims in a nominal length of 200 mm

(197 mm + 3 mm joint) and modular tiles from the

PRO ARCHITECTURA range.

Modular tiles are based on the basic module “M”

(100 mm) and multiples thereof, plus smaller

supplementary dimensions, e.g. 50 mm. The modular

dimensions of our tiles and functional trims are

derived from the factory dimensions plus the joint

width. The smaller the tile/functional trim, the

smaller the joint can be. The resulting modular

dimension will not change. The small format tiles

(10 x 10 cm, 5 x 5 cm and 2.5 x 2.5 cm) are supplied

on ready-to-set sheets. The sheets are available with

the lattice paper attached on the front or back. For

wet areas is required using tiles with lattice paper

on the front only or with glass fibre lattice backing

only.

Lattice paper on front and glass fibre lattice backing

must be specified when placing orders.

Position from edge = n x 200 + 101,5 mm

Rough shell = n x 200 + 126,5 mm

Finished dimension = n x 200 + 5 mm

Centre distance = n x 200 mm Position from edge = n x 200 + 101,5 mm

Rough shell = n x 200 + 126,5 mm

Rough shell dimension = Finished dimension + 2 x 25 mm


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.

• 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 lengh + 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 mmTo allow continual and uniform overflow, care must be taken when laying the pool edge that it is perfectly hori-zontal and level. According to the German “Guidelines for pool construction” deviations in height of +/- 2 mm are acceptable.

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 to order for your specific project.

Drain funnel Drain funnel

Drains

Connection with drain connector

The number of drains depends on the size of the pool,

the size of the overflow channels and the water circula-

tion, and should be calculated by a water-treatment

firm. Approx. 2 – 3.5 m can be taken as a general

guideline for the centre distance, depending on the

overflow system. Drain funnels (available from manuf-

acturers of accessories) should be concreted in to com-

pensate for installation tolerances in the drain piping.

Villeroy & Boch tiles supplies drain connectors or

whispering drains to connect the tiles around the

drain to the piping. These should be ordered separa-

tely. As shown in the installation instructions, the

tiler should attach the short connector to the drain

with epoxy resin.

The whispering drain is inserted from above and

secured with a rubber seal.

PRO ARCHITECTURA

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)

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 surround.• The water level is approximately

50-60 cm above the pool surround.• The water flows over the pool border, running down the outside and into the overflow channel, the top of which is flush

with the pool surround. 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.

• The pool must have an overflow channel on at

least one side and one end.

• As a rule, the therapist’s gallery should run along

one side of the pool and have a minimum width

of 75 cm and a minimum depth of 80 cm.

• A handrail or ledge must be provided at the edge

of the pool (water level).

• The steps must be at least 60 cm wide.

• The maximum slope for ramps is 15 %.

In Germany, the design and construction of medi-

cinal baths is subject to the following basic rules:

• The minimum dimensions for therapy pools are

3 x 4 m.

• The minimum water depth is 0.5 m for children

and 0.8 m for adults.

• The maximum water depth is 1.35 m.

• The pool must have an overflow channel running

along all its sides. Skimmers are not acceptable for

hygienic reasons.

• The slope of the pool’s floor should ideally be

constant, and should not exceed 4%.

The movement joint is situated in an area which is

exposed to high strain through water. The type of

water-proofing to be used for the joint depends on

the waterproofing of the pool surround.

Nowadays, pool surrounds are usually water-

proofed with brushable coatings, so-called alternati-

Waterproofing of movement joints for overflow systems

Technical aspects of application for swimming pools Static systems, movement joints

The pool must be structurally independent of the

remaining structure. The structural engineer is

re sponsible for selecting the static system. His

decision dictates the arrangement of movement

joints around and, where necessary, within the pool.

The following static systems can be used to effect

the structural separation of the pool from the

remaining structure.

Pools made of watertight concrete

The pool is made of impermeable concrete in accor-

dance with DIN 1045 and the structural analysis.

The concrete must be and remain free of cracks.

The following points should be heeded when

building the pool:

• Proper composition of aggregates and according-

ly a low water/cement ratio.

• For practical reasons, pool floors and walls should

be at least 25 cm thick and the upturn behind and/

or in front of the drainage channel should be at

least 15 cm thick, in the absence of any addi tional

sealing.

• Optimal compaction of freshly poured concrete by

means of an immersion vibrator.

• Appropriate aftertreatment of concrete

(by keeping it moist)

• Minimum strength category of concrete: B25.

• Minimum overlap of reinforcing rods: 5 cm.

• For pools intended to be filled with aggressive

water, e.g. salt water, the bonding agents used

should be selected on the basis of a water

analysis.

• It is desirable to pour the floor and walls in a

single operation. Should a construction joint

between the floor and the walls be necessary,

a stop-end joint tape must be inserted.

Technical aspects of application for swimming poolsPool construction

Pools to be clad with tiles are generally made of rein-

forced concrete as per DIN 1045.

In some cases, pools made of stainless steel, e.g.

on pleasure cruisers, or plastic can also be lined with

vitreous tiles.

The following considerations apply exclusively to

reinforced waterlight concrete pools.

This can be achieved by:

• using impermeable concrete or

• waterproofing.

After completing the reinforced concrete body of the

pool, in order to verify watertightness, the customer

is to fill the pool with chlorinated water for test

purposes to the level of the rim around the pool

(exposed concrete). The outside of freestanding pools

should also not be waterproofed until after the leak

test.

Marking the water level during the leak test provides

an excellently accurate line of reference for

positioning the ceramic accessories for the overflow

without the need for carrying out special additional

measurements.

Waterproofing

At structure joints and corners wherever movements

are to be expected, the waterproofing should be

reinforced with bonded fabric or sealing collars.

Pipes are incorporated in the surface waterproofing

by means of a gasket or flange.

Floor drains need a wide flange to take the water-

proofing.

Is to be carried out according to the general building

inspectorate test certificates of the respective manu-

facturer. The thickness of the waterproofing depends

on the material used and on the manufacturers‘

specifications.

The waterproofing is applied by filling, smoothing,

rolling or spraying onto the cleaned substrate. As a

rule, the waterproofing has to be applied in at least

two work processes in accordance with the manu-

facturer‘s instructions.

• Levelling screed as bonded levelling screed in

accordance with DIN 18560, quality ZE 20

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 conta-

minants that could impair adhesion.

Concrete surfaces on the pool walls should be sand-

blasted.

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.

As a technical rule for this type of waterproofing see

the leaflet from the ZDB “Ceramic tiles in swimming

pool construction - Advice on planning and imple-

mentation.” and DIN 18195-7.

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

Floating claddings

Floating claddings

A floating cladding is when the cladding is separated

from the backing by insulation, foils, oil-impregnated

paper or the like in accordance with DIN 18195.

Technical aspects of application for swimming poolsCeramic claddings

Bonded claddings

Bonded claddings are based on the principle of

frictional connection, i.e. no movement is possible

between the ceramic tiles and the solid base, much

like in a rein forced concrete component.

The conventional setting method involves the use of

bedding mortar, while the thin bed method in accor-

dance with DIN 18157 relies on an adhesive to effect

the bond. To achieve a good bond, the base material

must be free of the following:

• residue and debris such as wood, metal, formwork

lube or other contaminating layers that could

impair adhesion

• cracks or efflorescence

• considerable unevenness

• too smooth a surface.

Movement joints should be positioned at the edges

and at existing structural joints.

In principle all types of tiling belong to one of the

following groups:

• Bonded claddings

• Floating claddings

Differentiation is necessary with deference to:

• The properties of the finished cladding

• The anticipated stress levels in the cladding

construction

• The size of sections and the location and

execution of expansion/structural joints.

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.

Pool claddings

In the case of a swimming pool made of imperme-

able concrete the tiles are attached by means of the

BONDED CLADDING principle.

VOB-DIN 18352 “Working with tiles and slabs”

applies for bonded cladding in mortar (so-called

conventional or thick bed tiling)

DIN 18157 “Tiling ceramic coverings using the thin

bed method” applies for thin bed tiling.

DIN 18550 “Plaster” applies for screeds, DIN 18560 –

Part 3 “The use of screeds – bonded screeds”.

If the backing is as level as the finished cladding is

expected to be, the tiles can be fixed directly to the

concrete by the thin bed method.

In general, however, it is necessary to compensate for

a certain amount of unevenness. This is done by

applying an underlay of waterproof plaster of mortar

group III, preferably pure cement plaster. The tiles are

attached to the prepared backing with a thin bed of

hydraulic mortar in accordance with DIN 18156, Part 2.

When fixing the tiles directly on to the shotcrete with

a cement-based mortar, the back of the vitreous tiles

must first be powdered lightly with cement or coated

with cement-based grout.

Most serious damage resulting from the failure of the

bond between the tiles and the backing is caused by

shear stresses building up in the interface. Shear

stress occurs most often when the “young” concrete

is tiled before it has finished shrinking.

Figure 2: Waterproofing connection at drain

Floor and wall claddings in wet rooms

Figure 1: Waterproofing on screed joint

Floor claddings which are classified as having a

high exposure to moisture require waterproofing

and that the floors slope towards the drains. Ths

slope of the waterproofing layer corresponds to that

of the finished tiling. For ceramic tiles a slope of 1 –

2 % is usually sufficient. In showering rooms the

floor in the vicinity of the showers should slope at

a 3% gradient.

The waterproofing must extend over movement

joints. Permalastic sealing strips should be used for

this purpose. (Figure 1)

Drains are to be integrated into the surface water-

proofing by means of a flange or gasket. (Figure 2)

The level of the floor at the transition between wet

and dry rooms can be the same. The transition

should, however, not lie within the splash area and

the rooms should be separated by a door. The floor

of the wet room should slope sufficiently towards

the drain.

Pipes and tap fittings that penetrate wall claddings

are integrated into the surface waterproofing by

means of a press-on flange.

Screeds on an insulating layer and heated screeds

should be reinforced. These screeds are to be divi-

ded into sections by section boundary joints: in

unheated screeds maximum 60 m2 in size with a

maximum edge length of 8 m and in heated screeds

maximum 40 m2 in size with a maximum edge

length of 6.5 m. Compact sections should be crea-

ted wherever possible. Structural joints should be

taken on in the same width and in the same location.

The screed sections should also be subdivided at

doorways and wall projections. The heating pipes

should not cross the section joints in heated screeds

where possible. If this should prove necessary,

300 mm long pipe sleeves should be used.
