At the development of innovative ideas in the eld of swimming pool planning, the pbr Planungsbro Rohling AG has been extensively supported by AGROB BUCHTAL. Thanks to this co-operation, energy-efcient pool edge systems could be developed and tested with very good results. Both systems the Bamberg Channel as new pool edge special piece as well as a new channel system for sports pools are installed at the construction of the new Bambados indoor swimming pool of the Stadtwerke Bamberg. The teams of the in-house planning and the development departments were competent partners to contact at any time. They constructively advised and accompanied us from the rst sketch on the paper to the nished special piece.

Anyone who is building modern swimming pools which are to be convincing also in terms of architecture decides in favour of ceramics, because it is far superior to all other materials in this area of application. The almost unlimited colour range, for example, enormously facilitates the development of comprehensive, individual design concepts. Various pool edge systems, also with silent outlet valve, are available for all types of swimming pools and can be perfectly completed by matching accessories such as e.g. cover gratings. Special pieces and solutions for benches, stairs, standing steps, ladder recesses, letter tiles and shower tubs support a conclusive and homogeneous design. Swimming lanes, safety and eld markings made of ceramics can be durably integrated without any problems. Last but not least, tiles offer maximum freedom at the planning of the pool shape without a costly and time-consuming special production. They are absolutely hygienic, ecologically harmless, longlived and light-fast also in case of exposure to extreme solar radiation.

Ecological and economical
Environmental protection is one of the most urgent tasks of our days, and we feel obliged to contribute to it to a high degree. That is why we are coating our ceramic tiles with HT*, which offers three special economical and ecological advantages: Extremely easy to clean with long-term guarantee: instead of being repelled in the form of drops, the water spreads to form a thin film which infiltrates the dirt. Decomposition of pollutants in the air: both indoors and outdoors. In the case of exhaust fumes produced by industry and cars, for example, 1,000 m of facade ceramics with HT clean the air as effectively as 70 medium-sized deciduous trees. Antibacterial effect without chemical agents: Microorganisms such as e.g. bacteria, fungi, algae or moss are decomposed and their renewed formation is prevented.

The principle
HT is a very durable coating which ensures an improved quality of the air. Besides the effortless elimination of dirt, tiles with HT coating make malodorous and also harmful substances in the air disappear. These pollutants are caused e.g. by cigarette smoke, ammonia, residues of sprays, formaldehyde from textiles, etc. In conjunction with light and air humidity, the HT coating effects the transformation of noxious molecules e.g. in harmless carbon dioxide and water. This principle of action is comparable with that of the photosynthesis. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is baked onto the glaze as catalyst at high temperature and effects a reaction between light, oxygen and air humidity. The effects are permanently conserved, as they are always reactivated by light. Titanium dioxide is non-toxic as well as free of irritating substances and may even be added to food.
Dirt
With HT, dirt is washed down by the water and can then be easily wiped off.
*The photocatalytic, hydrophilic coating of the tiles of AGROB BUCHTAL has proved itself in swimming pool construction for many years.

Bathing fun for the whole family and refreshing drinks at the pool bar
Since the end of 2009, the Water Park on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital Kiev offers unlimited bathing fun for the whole family in a total of seven pools. The top attractions are the wave-action pool with 1.5 m high waves, a large and a small adventure pool as well as the spacious jacuzzi area. There, one also nds a bar at which cool drinks can be enjoyed without leaving the agreeable warm water of the pool.

With a sophisticated theme concept which brings the towns mining history back to life again, the Aquapark Oberhausen holds an unassailable unique position in the highly competitive leisure market of the Ruhr area. A 17 m high winding tower surrounded by mining carts serves as eye-catcher below the gigantic glass dome. And in the paddling pool, a reproduction of Bubi, the last pit-horse, is waiting for the young bathers. Besides the adventure world with objects, pictures and materials from the mining sector, however, sport and fun also play an important part: on a total pool area of more than 1,600 m, varied attractions are available to the up to 1,000 visitors from the white-water canal to the Kinderland.

Sports pools
At the construction of sports pools satisfying the requirements for competitions, ceramics is the preferred material all around the globe: the by far greatest number of all world records and Olympic victories were celebrated in tiled pools. In the course of decades, AGROB BUCHTAL has built up leading competence and an excellent reputation for itself in this sophisticated sector. Every year, the companys know-how is asked for at the planning of approximately 50 sports pools all over the world. And the static advantages which ceramics offers at the construction of deep diving pools also play a decisive economical part. Thus, a wide target group of active sportswomen and sportsmen from the ambitious amateur up to the record holder and Olympic athlete benets from immense experience and high product quality made in Germany.

,Architecture is frozen music. (May things always be lively and harmonious in this house!), Arthur Schopenhauer. And to avoid any disharmonies, it is important to fall back upon a well-tuned (tone) system. In swimming pool construction, we are frequently using ceramics from AGROB BUCHTAL as it ensures a great variability within a comprehensive system at constant high quality.

When the sun shines, the indoor swimming pool turns into an open-air pool
Thousands of convertibles on four wheels are rolling on our streets. But indoor swimming pools with a movable roof that can be converted into open-air pools by pushing a button are rather rare. At its opening in 2007, the Cabrio Allwetterbad at Senden was one of the rst of its type in Germany. And the small Westphalian municipality, which had attached great importance to a sustainable and energy-saving method of construction, was awarded the european energy award in gold. Thanks to the varied alternatives offered from the multi-purpose pool suitable for competitions to adventure pools with jet stream canal and massage jets and on to the 32 C warm salt-water pool both athletes and families nd what they are looking for.

Since the market launch of the first slip-resistant tiles in 1938, AGROB BUCHTAL has permanently further developed this innovation by intensive research. This is proved by renowned prizes for exemplary surface designs and functional improvements. The quality of our slip-resistant tiles with the GRIP seal is guaran teed by permanent controls of the in-house laboratories. In addition, regular analyses by external institutes and the participation in interlaboratory tests with accredited test laboratories ensure a neutral supervision. The slip-resistance effect of the non-slip glazes of AGROB BUCHTAL is achieved by a micro-rough surface ensuring an optimal adhesion of the soles of the feet. These products are exclusively designed for barefoot areas. They guarantee high safety and particularly agreeable walking.

Test method:
Inclined plane, walked on barefoot, wetting agent solution as test medium. The surfaces are smooth, micro-rough or slightly profiled. Non-slip glazes with their micro-rough surfaces have proved excellently in practice.
Barefoot areas
Competent authority: Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, Fockensteinstrae 1, 81539 Munich, www.unfallkassen.de. Floors in wet barefoot areas, e.g. swimming pools, hospitals as well as dressing rooms, washrooms and showers in sports and work facilities. Test standard: DIN 51097, code of practice: GUV-I 8527 (GUV 26.17) Floor coverings in wet barefoot areas.
Private areas
With regard to slip resistance, ceramic floor coverings in private areas are not subject to standard regulations. Independent of that, however, it is recommended to choose slip-resistant tiles according to your personal safety requirements.

Format variety
The use of different formats is an adequate method for emphasizing, delimiting and rhythmically structuring surfaces with ceramic coverings. AGROB BUCHTAL offers swimming pool architects the appropriate materials for using this effective stylistic device also in areas requiring increased slip resistance. The system Chroma, for example, offers a variety of formats usable within a graded modular system which extends from mosaics in the sizes of 2.5 x 2.5 and 5 x 5 cm (alternatively monocoloured or mixed) up to the impressive large formats of the unglazed series Capestone and Marino (50 x 50 cm) as well as Rovere (up to 50 x 100 cm).
