Description

Substrate and tiling systems for swimming pool walls, floors, surrounds and wetrooms and changing rooms.


In swimming pools, it’s not just waterproofing that presents challenges to installers. Ultimately, it is the choice of tiles, combined with the correct suite of preparation products, tile adhesives and grouts, that allows you to not only create an aesthetically pleasing design, but one which is also durable and will withstand the most demanding conditions for years to come.


ARDEX products have been successfully specified in hundreds of swimming pools, from domestic projects to the London Aquatics Centre for the London 2012 Olympic games.


This system includes a range of ARDEX products that covers substrate preparation, including tile fixing, grouting, rendering, waterproofing, levelling compounds, bedding mortars and screeds to help build and tile the swimming pool, gutter system and surrounds. There’s also products to tile pool shells made of fibreglass.


Within this listing you’ll find pool, gutter and surround system diagrams, as well as a system for wet room changing areas. All the products mentioned are listed individually on NBS source.
