Afternoon All,
Please can you help
I have a couple of queries that i would appreciate you input on .
I am looking for clarity with regard to tile movement joints in a swimming pool.The pool in question is 25m in length but has no construction joints as it was poured in 1 hit . BS 5385 says the maximum tile field should be no more than 10m in each direction. but that it generally tends to be 5- 8 m for floor and 3-4m for walls.The architect that is on this particular job has only identified the movement joints as being 3- 4.5m apart but hasnt specified whether that is walls or floors.
I would also like to be able to compile a check list for future pools that we construct to enable others to concentrate on the important items that need monitoring , like the falls etc, movements joint distances/ loctations etc and would appreciate any input / pointers you guys may have regarding the important tiling issues faced when installing swimming pool tiles.
