Note:
See Glossary for finish material abbreviations.
Remarks:
1.
Provide semi-gloss or epoxy paint with good cleanability and
mildewcide. Consult manufacturer on mildew additives on countereffects such
as brittleness and other averse effects on longetivity. Paints containing
Phenyl Mercuric Acetate are prohibited.
2.
Thin set epoxy terrazzo is also an excellent finish and marbleized
plaster and epoxy coatings can be considered. Where budget and cost are
constrained, consider a basic epoxy finish with tile used for accent, pool
markings, edge of deck (curb), and a minimum 6" glazed frost proof tile or
other easily cleanable surface at the normal water line. Pool plaster or
coating finishes are generally medium cost and have a service life of 4 to 6
years. The advantage of tile or terrazzo is durability and lower maintenance
expenditures resulting in less training down time.
3.
See ceilings and walls paragraphs for other acceptable materials.
4.
Specify unglazed 1"x1" tile floor with minimum slope of 0.25 inch per
foot (2 mm per 100mm) toward drains. Provide threshold between shower area
and other areas.
5.
Wall tiles should be 6"x6" glazed and floor should be 1"x1" unglazed
mosaic. Wainscot should be 7' high minimum.
6.
Drying benches and standing areas should be located only on ceramic
tile surfaces.
7.
Grid system must be corrosive resistant with respect to high humidity.
8.
Special consideration is required for high humidity and dripping water
on walls, floors, and ceilings.
