Polyblock pools, if the mosaic?

[vipvodu]

Greetings from Ukraine! Prompt structural strength of the pool of poly blocks (I saw this block with liner in http://www.vendeepools.com/swimming_poo ... pools.html). Can I finish this pool mosaic tiles? Some experts from Ukraine believe is possible. What do you think? Sorry for my English ...

If it's to be an indoor facility, I would think it would be fine since the environment will presumably controlled.

If this is to be an outdoor pool, I would strongly discourage the use of tile as a surface. Winters in the Ukraine will freeze the surface of the pool, creating a lot of pressure on the tiles, causing chips, cracks, and pop offs.

Thank you for your reply! On one site I read that you can glue the mosaic after 3 layers of waterproofing by laying a grid of glass! But I never see so pool.

Water proofing does nothing against the force with which ice pressure exerts, Glass is the last thing you want to tile a pool with, IMHO. Any chips will be difficult to spot and could cause a serious cut.

And if the inside (or indoor...)? Then everything is OK? Only frost can make problem?

As long as it's kept heated.

If you let an indoor pool go unheated and it match outdoor temperature of Winter in the Ukraine, the same concerns exist.
