Luxury indoor swimming pool, Derbyshire Dales
Luxury indoor swimming pool created in the Derbyshire Dales
Nestled in the picturesque Derbyshire countryside, overlooking the Derbyshire Dales is a stunning property that’s more than 250-years-old.
Approached by a long gravel driveway, the main house is surrounded by landscaped gardens and pastureland. Historically, around 30ft away to the left of the main house, stood several tired and dated brick-built buildings and a shed.
The owner wanted to replace the barns and shed with a luxurious, self-contained, two-storey indoor swimming pool.
Ceramic Tile Distribution in Derby supplied the tiling products as well as the adhesive and grout. The project involved constructing the swimming pool building, which spans 15 metres by 5 metres, and features a statement apex roof, floor-to-ceiling sash windows and set of arched French doors that lead out into a brand new courtyard area. Inside, there’s a steam room and comfy poolside seating at one end of the pool, as well as a mezzanine floor.
High performance tile fixing products by Saint-Gobain Weber were specified throughout the project. A total of 150 bags of weberset rapid SPF tile adhesive and 15 bags of weberjoint premium grout in Limestone were used to fix and secure the tiles in place inside and around the pool.
“Our extra-flexible weberjoint premium grout is ideal for swimming pools. Not only is it water repellent and long-lasting, it incorporates our PURE CLEAN anti-stain technology. This unique feature helps reduce the appearance of patchiness and improves resistance to staining,” explains Tim Martin,
“This particular product also features Mould Stop Technology, which provides lasting protection from mould growth, making it ideal for use in wet or damp environments.
