Swimming pool tiles for safe swimming fun at the pool

Splashing around in the water is refreshing and fun. Swimming in the pool relaxes and keeps you fit. Whether in an inexpensive above-ground pool, a natural swimming pond or an indoor pool. There are many ways to enjoy swimming.

Tiles from WARCO have proven themselves as a pleasant and safe floor covering around the pool for many years. At the family pool in the garden as well as in the communal outdoor pool or in the luxurious adventure pool.

1. All advantages at a glance
2. Swimming pool tiles are non-slip and barefoot-friendly
3. Fall protection - Insulation - Sound insulation
4. Simply lay the pool floor yourself
5. Good reasons for WARCO tiles by the pool
6. How do natural stone, tiles, exposed aggregate concrete or wooden floorboards behave by the pool?

Swimming pool tiles from WARCO are a very special floor covering because they

• are always non-slip on dry and wet surfaces.
• offer a non-slip, barefoot-friendly surface with a pleasant feel.
• Prevent injuries and provide fall protection.
  
• are well permeable to water and dry quickly.
• insulate against cold and vibrations and provide good impact sound insulation.
  
• are weather and frost resistant for many years.
• do not rot, crack, splinter or mold and do not flake off.
  
• are self-cleaning and can be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner.
  
• can be laid by yourself without special expertise.
• can usually only be laid loosely on the substrate without installation.
• are resistant to chlorinated water and UV radiation (colourfast).
• can be disinfected with alcohol-based disinfectants.
  
• create a high-quality, elegant floor appearance with a natural colour scheme.

WARCO swimming pool tiles and pool tiles are highly permeable to water. Rainwater and splash water seep through the tiles quickly - no puddles form. Under the tiles, the water either seeps naturally into the subsoil or drains away on a non-permeable base layer following the gradient through the drainage channels in the underside of the tiles.

Fine dirt on the WARCO panels is simply rinsed through the panels with the spray water. Coarse dirt can be quickly removed with a high-pressure cleaner or a water hose. The swimming pool tiles require no further maintenance. They are therefore low-maintenance and maintenance-free.

The surface of WARCO tiles is slightly roughened - it feels pleasant to the touch. Whether wet or dry, WARCO tile flooring is very slip-resistant. You can walk, run, sit, lie and play on the elastic WARCO floor just like on a natural forest floor. What's more, the rubber granulate swimming pool tiles provide noticeable insulation against the cold; you won't get cold feet.

WARCO pool tiles cushion the steps slightly when walking. This is not only pleasant, but also easy on the joints. And because this pool floor is also non-slip, the risk of slips and falls is minimised. Should a fall nevertheless occur, WARCO pool slabs offer good fall protection. So children can play and romp around the pool safely!

WARCO swimming pool tiles insulate against the cold. The floor feels pleasantly warm when walking, sitting or lying barefoot. Even in direct sunlight, WARCO tiles do not heat up as much as many other floor coverings, as they absorb comparatively little heat.

This pool floor absorbs vibrations, impact and structure-borne noise. This is a particularly useful additional feature for an outdoor pool in a residential area. Because there is simply less noise, be it from splashing around, from water balls flying out of the pool - or from impact noise.

Of course, all WARCO swimming pool tiles are harmless to health.

WARCO floor tiles are simply laid on a suitable subfloor - usually without gluing or screwing. This prevents stresses between the base layer and the floor covering. This is why a WARCO floor cannot chip, freeze, break or splinter at the edge of the pool. In addition, the tiles can be removed if necessary without damaging the base layer or the tiles themselves.

Even when renovating a damaged pool deck, a WARCO pool tile is usually laid directly on the existing old surface. Often no preparatory work is required. However, it is sometimes advisable to seal the old decking to prevent further water ingress. For permanent waterproofing, simply use ALLESDICHT.

In the laying instructions, you can find out how easy it is to lay WARCO tiles professionally yourself. And if you don't want to do it yourself, simply hire a craftsman in your neighbourhood.

Natural stone slabs, terracotta and ceramic tiles, as well as wooden and WPC planks and concrete slabs are unpleasantly hard when walking, sitting, lying or playing barefoot. Water splashed from the pool remains standing for a long time and the surface becomes slippery. Ants like to settle under concrete slabs. And with a plank floor, rubbish collects between the supporting timbers.

All of these floor coverings also have a durability problem: ceramic tiles, tiles and natural stone slabs crack, break or chip. Wooden floorboards splinter, crack or rot. WPC deforms and swells. Concrete or exposed aggregate concrete slabs weather.

Ultimately, the laying and installation of these floor coverings always involves a great deal of effort and considerable costs. Replacing tiles or a wooden deck by dismantling and rebuilding is not cheap either. The work usually has to be carried out by specialised tradesmen.
