NEW Sto Fireblocking Solution to Meet 2022 New York City Building Code

Specialty Finish Solutions – Soffits, Ceilings, Interior Pool Rooms and Specialty Substrates

Indoor swimming pool rooms, or natatoriums, provide year-round recreational and therapeutic opportunities to benefit hotels, sports clubs, schools, wellness centers, homes, and more. However, the design and products you use for interior pool room construction must meet particular technical requirements to ensure a long-lasting, efficient installation that will protect your significant investment.

Indoor pools, whether at in-ground level, partially in-ground, or a movable above-ground floor, contain a large body of water that creates higher humidity, warm temperatures, and elevated chemical levels within the room’s space. If not controlled, the moisture, heat, and chemicals will damage the room’s structural integrity. It can also create an uncomfortable and unhealthy environment. 

Therefore, the design of an interior pool room, including its soffits, ceilings, and walls, should include moisture, temperature, and chemical-resistant materials in order to help prevent structurally damaging corrosion, mold, and mildew and to protect the pool room’s integrity and air quality. In addition, the indoor pool room should have a dehumidification system to manage the humidity.

Other challenges to interior pool room installation include:

  • Space limitation during installation
  • Ensuring adequate structural support
  • Achieving unique customization: shape, aesthetics, etc. 

Architects and builders can refer to the following standards and guidelines for help to design a long-lasting and healthy indoor pool:
