Specification and Construction of Tiled Swimming Pools: From Shell to Finish

Description

This CPD provides an overview of best practice in the design and construction of tiled swimming pools, with particular reference to relevant British and European Standards. It covers key pool types and construction methods, substrate preparation, levelling and screeding, waterproofing systems, tile fixing materials, grouts, and movement joint detailing.

The session highlights common causes of failure and explains how correct specification, material selection, and installation sequencing can improve durability, safety, and long-term performance in both pools and associated surround and spa areas. The presentation lasts for approximately 45 minutes and viewers should achieve a greater understanding of tiled pool design, construction methods and appropriate selection of materials.
