SURFACES

In and around swimming pools, wet surfaces where people usually walk with bare feet make safety and hygiene a dual concept that becomes an essential feature.
Preventing accidents as well as avoiding the settling of microbiological impurities are a "must" which tiles, special pieces and grouting materials must, necessarily comply in order to guarantee both safety and hygiene.
The surfaces of the tiles and special pieces proposed by Swimming Pool, even with non-slip finish, duly consider this double-need and can assure both safety and an easy maintenance, thus providing a higher hygienic standard for the entire tiles area.
According to these concepts, the Swimming Pool proposals include the following types of surface:

Lucida - where particularly brilliant glazes allow the surfaces to have higher reflection of light.

Satin - featuring glazes of a medium gloss that create softer looking surfaces and an higher resistance to abrasion.

Friction - where the glazes are mixed with fine corundum sand thus achieving a Group B non-slip degree with bare feet even on a non-textured surface.

Grip - made with glazes mixed with higher quantities of corundum sand for a Group C non-slip degree with bare feet even on a non-textured surface.

Rigata-Cannelé - featuring a surface with crosswise scoring in relief offering a Group C non-slip degree with bare feet on both glazed and unglazed surfaces.

Matt - only available in the unglazed version, these tiles feature a smooth surface providing non-slip degree R10 with shod feet and Group B with bare feet.

Pinhead - available in unglazed version, as the name suggests, this features pinhead profiles that make the surface easy to clean while providing an R11 non-slip value with shod feet and Group C for bare feet.
Moreover, the way the pinhead profiles are arranged achieves fluid downflow class V6.

Roccia - these tiles are available in the unglazed version only and feature an irregular textured surface that provides an R12 non-slip degree with shod feet and Group C for bare feet.
