Context

Addagrip approved contractor Total Protection (GB) Ltd installed 294m2 of Addabound resin bound surfacing around the swimming pool at the David Lloyd Gym in East Acton, London.

Requirement

The client wanted decorative resin bound paving for the outdoor swimming pool at the gym which has undergone a £9m refurbishment to provide an indoor and outdoor pool, modern spa and racquet courts.

The requirement was for a low-maintenance system that would be smooth and comfortable underfoot, providing a decorative aggregate finish that could be powerwashed as part of the cleaning regime of the pool area.

Product supplied

Interserve Construction appointed Total Protection (GB) Ltd to prepare the surface and install 294m2 of BBA approved Addabound resin bound surfacing in a recycled marble Dune blend.

The challenge was the preparation required to the existing surfaces surrounding and adjacent to the outdoor pool to ensure a suitable substrate for the resin bound system. Undulations and differing depths were regulated with compatible screed material and an aluminium edge detail was installed to provide an edge for the 12mm depth of Addabound.

Outcome

The new surface was installed in a single application in May 2018 to prevent any day joints and ensure the smooth, seamless finish was achieved in time for the grand opening.
