Cranbourne Stone worked closely with Rio Pools, Calcot Spa’s interior designer and architect to use wood porcelain in the pool interior, skirting, surrounds, deck level grilles and to create a stunning seating area. By utilising wood porcelain in the main pool, the children’s pool and its wet areas, the design flowed throughout the Spa.


“The pool was more municipal in


aesthetic; very typical of commercial pools built up and down the country at the turn of century,” says Shelley Willcox, Director Rio Pools. “We used Cranbourne Stone’s double-slot drainage system around the perimeter of the pool,” Shelley continues. “This was new to us, and correcting


the falls and levels in the surround tiling was key to ensuring wash water didn’t puddle in all the wrong places. “The tilers also had fun with the windmill-effect Semifore wall tiles in the changing room lobbies; it’s like a magic-eye picture —a really striking effect.” emphasised Shelley. The pool refurbishment was


successfully completed on schedule and Calcot Spa re-opened with a fully revamped luxurious swimming pool and spa facility.
