Defining the modular dimensions
Fundamentals of swimming pool construction
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 Villeroy & Boch tile
planning service is free of charge. Please contact your
sales agent or the Planning Department directly, at

The line of swimming pool ceramics consists of
modular trims in a nominal length of 200 mm
(195 + 5 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 sup-
plementary 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 (30 x 50 cm). The sheets are
available with the lattice paper attached on the front
or back. For wet areas we recommend 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. Formats larger than 10 x 10 cm are
supplied loose in the box.

The following drawings were produced by the company Villeroy & Boch. The user is responsible for verifying
the correctness and suitability of the variant concerned. Villeroy & Boch provides no guarantee and shall not be
held liable in this connection.
Position from edge = n x 200 + 102.5 mm
Rough shell = n x 200 + 127.5 mm
Centre distance = n x 200 mm Position from edge = n x 200 + 102.5 mm
Rough shell = n x 200 + 127.5 mm
Finished dimension = n x 200 + 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 + 5 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 + 102.5 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 hori-
zontal and level. According to the German Guidelines
for pool construction deviations in height of +/- 2 mm
are acceptable.
Special note:
Please specify in your order if you require lattice
paper on the front side of mosaic tiles.

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 guide-
line for the centre distance, depending on the overflow
system. Drain funnels (available from manufacturers of
accessories) should be concreted in to compensate for
installation tolerances in the drain piping.
Villeroy & Boch supplies 35 mm drain connectors or
152 mm whispering 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 connec-
tor to the drain with epoxy resin.
The whispering drain is inserted from above and
secured with a rubber seal.

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.

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 (PA06).
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 about 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 over-
flow is executed either as a shal-
low, 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 therapists 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 pools 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-
ve waterproofing, in accordance with ZDB leaflet.
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
responsible 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.
29
Tiles
Stop end joint tape
Elastic joint sealant
Reinforcement
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.
Pool construction
Pools to be clad with tiles are usually made of reinfor-
ced concrete.
In some cases pools made of steel - e.g. on pleasure
cruisers - or plastic can also be lined with vitreous
tiles. In such cases, please ask for more detailed infor-
mation.
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 purpos-
es 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 positio-
ning the ceramic accessories for the overflow without
the need for carrying out special additional measure-
ments.

Waterproofing
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.
Waterproofing should be carried out according to
the manufacturers instructions. The thickness of the
waterproofing depends on the material used and
the specifications of the manufacturer.
At structure joints and corners wherever move-
ments are to be expected, the waterproofing should
be reinforced with bonded fabric or foil.
Suitable bases
Concrete in accordance with DIN 1405
and DIN 4227
Underlay waterproof plaster in accordance with
DIN 18550, mortar group P III
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 0.5 mm. Cracks of more than
0.5 mm width must be grouted under pressure.
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.

Bonded screed
Floating claddings
Floating claddings
Unlike bonded claddings, floating claddings should
be subdivided by movement joints around the bor-
ders of and between individual sections.
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.
Ceramic claddings
Bonded 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 reinforced 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 limited to the same locati-
ons and widths as those of the existing structure
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.
32
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.
In accordance with point 7.2 of the information leaflet
"Schwimmbadbau" - Hinweise fr Planung und
Ausfhrung Keramischer Belge im
Schwimmbadbau" ("Swimming pool construction
Instructions on planning and producing ceramic
coverings in swimming pool construction"), publis-
hed by the central association of the German buil-
ding industry (ZDB) in July 2008, the concrete should
have a minimum age of 6 months pursuant to DIN
1045.

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. (Figure 3)
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 divid-
ed into sections by section boundary joints: in
unheated screeds maximum 60 m
2
in size with a
maximum edge length of 8 m and in heated screeds
maximum 40 m
2
in size with a maximum edge
length of 6.5 m. Compact sections should be creat-
ed 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.
