I have a job starting soon to tile around an indoor pool with Travertine copings.
Then i have all the small wall area's to tile with honed & filled travertine and the floor to tile in the same.
All the pool copings have to be bull nosed by hand as i cannot get double bull nosed ones in the uk to the width i need..
So i am going to use 30mm Travertine pavers( 60 x 40 ) and bull nose them once they are cut to size....
yes the pool would have been nice to do as well Dave, very straight forward to!!weird places two site the returns and skimmers !! cant see the main drain s's in the floor ether!! are there two??
funny the job i am on, on Wednesday is trave the same as Daves going to do, and i did notice the coping's were all bull nosed, BUT WHERE they used the trave on the treads of the pool steps they were just square the steps were round to and it looked a bit unfinished to me

That i didn't take any notice dave.. i am up there tomorrow doing 2 porch floors in quarry's, so will have another look.
None of the pool lay out is anything to do with me, but i agree the top lay out is going to be tricky.... some awkward cutting to do.
Sounds like a nice challenge Dave, is that sand & cement you used to level?
It is fibre enhanced pci hsp34 .. it varies from 10mm to 25mm in places.. way to thin for a screed to take..
Why it was left like this is unknown to me... but i am also tanking all exposed area's with Dural wp or mapegum ...this includes uncoupling the floor sections with Dural Ci..
I wish i had more input from the start but hey,, thats an ideal scenario..
DAVE just thought the pool dint seem to be insulated,2010 regulations say new pools should be insulated!! if you want to look at my website or www.aquathermpoolinsulation.co.uk your customer might want to read for himself but we think AQUATHERM is the best way on the market to achieve this mate, he would save himself a shed-full of money over the years!!
