Impressive technology and versatile design: thanks to

the fact that its modular product range is always up to

date, V&B Tiles is the competent partner for both the

construction and renovation of swimming pools and

wellness facilities.

In addition to all the essential channel systems, our

range includes a wide variety of supplemental functional

trims and strips for swimming pools of all kinds.

As a single-source supplier, we recognise the importance

of offering attractive, high-quality tile ranges for the sur-

rounding areas, wellness facilities, catering and food

service areas and other functional rooms, too. In particu-

lar, this includes the PRO ARCHITECTURA colour and

format system, as well as the various vilbostone porce-

lain stoneware ranges in a wide selection of designs.

We are able to assist architects and engineers in the

planning of their projects with the following services:

• Individual technical advice for new construction and

renovation projects

• CAD-aided detailed technical and design planning

• Customised tender texts

In order to satisfy the design demands of modern plan-

ning, comprehensive technical renovation work that is in

keeping with modern standards, and accurate restora-

tion, we offer an extremely wide range of trim systems

for the realisation of swimming pools that are technically

perfect.

With our system ranges, which not only offer the neces-

sary technical properties, but also attractive designs

for all areas of a swimming pool, products from

Villeroy & Boch Tiles ensure that architects and planners

have full scope for individual design.

In addition to the extensive PRO ARCHITECTURA colour

and format system, we recommend our vilbostone por-

celain stoneware ranges, which are sure to impress on

both a technical and design level.

The MY EARTH and X-PLANE ranges are of particular

note here. Thanks to their natural charm and warm

atmosphere they have already made their mark in

numerous projects.

For the first time, Villeroy & Boch Tiles is also offering

cove base trims to match the popular CROSS OVER,

MY EARTH and X-PLANE design ranges. We are one of

the first manufacturers to offer architects and planners a

way of realising high-quality design concepts in func-

tional areas, such as shower areas, changing facilities

and toilets, without having to forego the technical advan-

tages of a cove base.

nThe 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 supple-

mentary dimensions, e.g. 50 mm. The modular dimensi-

ons 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 must be specified when placing

orders.

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 coordinated. The

rough shell planning is made on the basis of the tile plan-

ning. The V&B Fliesen GmbH tile planning service is free

of charge.

ment directly, at

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 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 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 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%.

Drain funnel Drain funnel

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 has to 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 manufacturers of accesso-

ries) should be concreted in to compensate for installa-

tion tolerances in the drain piping.

Villeroy & Boch Tiles supplies drain connectors or whis-

pering drains to connect the tiles around the drain to the

piping. These should be ordered separately. As shown in

the installation instructions, the tiler should attach the

short connector under the drain with epoxy resin.

The whispering drain is inserted from above and secured

with a rubber seal.

Special note:Outlet connectors and whispering drains must be ordered separately.

Special points

Underwater edges such as steps or the front edge of the “Finn-ish” 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.

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.

• The rounded-off pool border is higher than the pool surrounding.• The water level is approximately

50-60 cm above the pool surroun-ding.

• 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.

• 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 tread is

30 cm with a step height of 0.07 to 0.12 m. A handrail

must be attached on both sides.

• 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 water-

proofing of the pool surround.

Nowadays, pool surrounds are usually waterproofed

with brushable coatings, so-called alternative water-

proofing, in accordance with ZDB leaflet.

Waterproofing of movement joints for overflow systems

The pool must be structurally independent of the remain-

ing structure. The structural engineer is re sponsible for

selecting the static system. Hisdecision 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 constructed using watertight concrete

(concrete with a high level of resistance to water

penetration) in accordance with DIN 1045 / EN 206

and based on static calculations. The structure must

be kept free of cracks. Instructions for constructing

pools of watertight concrete are addressed in the

information leaflet entitled “Swimming and bathing

pools made of reinforced concrete” [“Schwimm- und

Badebecken aus Stahlbeton”] published by the

German Association for the Recreational and

Medicinal Bath Industry [DGfdB].

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: C25/30.

• Minimum overlap of reinforcing rods: 50 mm, in

special cases, for example such as salt or mineral

water up to max. 55 mm.

• For pools intended to be filled with water that

is particularly aggressive to concrete, e.g. salt

water, the bonding agents used should be select-

ed 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.

Pools to be clad with tiles are generally made of reinforced

concrete as per DIN 1045 / EN 206.

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

ure cruisers, or plastic can also be lined with vitreous tiles.

The following considerations apply exclusively to rein-

forced 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 out-

side of freestanding pools should also not be water-

proofed 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 waterproofing.

Is to be carried out according to the general building

inspectorate test certificates of the respective manufac-

turer. 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 manufacturer‘s

instructions.

• Levelling screed as bonded levelling screed in accord-

ance with DIN 18560, quality class CT C25 F4

The dimensional accuracy of the backing should corre-

spond with the finished cladding. Considerable uneven-

ness should be compensated for beforehand with under-

lay waterproof plaster or levelling screed.

The base material must be free of abherents, debris,

dust, binding agents, efflorescence or other contami-

nants 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

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 cur-

rently 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

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 impermeable

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 expect-

ed 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 levelling plaster of mortar group III, prefer-

ably pure cement plaster. The limits on flatness deviation

pursuant to Table 3, lines 3 and 6 and, where appropriate,

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 suita-

ble C2 thin-bed mortar in accordance with DIN-EN 12004.

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.

Minimum age of the concrete in accordance with DIN 1045

In this connection, see: Leaflet 25.01 of the German

Association for the Recreational and Medicinal Bath

Industry [DGfdB] entitled “Shrinkage and swelling of rein-

forced concrete ceilings, influence on the bonding behav-

iour of ceramic coverings” [“Schwinden und Quellen von

Stahlbetondecken, Einfluss auf das Verbundverhalten

keramischer Bekleidungen”] and Leaflet 25.04, “Swimming

and bathing pools made of reinforced concrete”

Floating claddings

Bonded 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 and/or the ZDB

leaflet “Composite seals”.

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 bed-

ding 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 adhe-

sion

• 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.

Technical aspects of applicationCeramic claddings

Unlike bonded claddings, floating claddings should be

subdivided by movement joints around the borders of

and between individual sections.

Floor and wall claddings in wet rooms

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 cor-

responds 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

Recreational and Medicinal Bath Industry [DGfdB] entitled

“Gradients in floor coverings of swimming pools”

[“Gefälleausbildung in Bodenbelägen von Schwimm bädern”].

The waterproofing must extend over movement joints.

Permalastic sealing strips should be used in a loop shape for

this purpose. (Figure 1)

Drains must be fitted e.g. with at least a 30 mm wide flange

and installed with at least 50 mm of overlap by the gasket

over the grouting materials and screed in order to integrate

these into the surface waterproofing.

For more structural comments on drains and channels, see

the ZDB guideline “Instructions on producing drains with

composite seals”.

Pipes and tap fittings that penetrate wall claddings are inte-

grated into the surface waterproofing by means of sealing

gaskets.

See also: ZDB leaflets “Composite seals” and “Swimming

pool construction”, as well as DIN 18534 “Waterproofing for

indoor applications”, which is currently in draft form.

Tiling on cement floors – heated and unheated

In principle, reinforcement of screeds on an insulating layer

is not necessary. Reinforcement is advisable in the case of

heated screeds. These screeds are to be divided into sec-

tions by section boundary joints: in unheated screeds maxi-

mum 60 m2 in size with a maximum edge length of 8 m. In

heated screeds maximum 40 m2 in size with a maximum

edge length of 6.5 m. (Figure 2)

Compact sections should be created wherever possible,

with aspect ratios not exceeding a maximum of 1:2.

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. (Figure 3)

For more information, please refer to the ZDB leaflet “Tiling

on cement floors”.
