More than 30 years on, this project remains a powerful example of why choosing the right tiling system matters.
At Woking Leisure Centre, tiles installed in the pool in 1992 continue to demonstrate exceptional performance and durability. Originally installed by Adam Willmott during his time with Ceramic Tiles Ipswich (Contracts) Ltd, the installation has stood up to decades of constant use, water exposure and demanding pool conditions.
A key part of that long-term success was the use of ARDEX X 7 G, enhanced with ARDEX E 90 to deliver outstanding bond strength and flexibility. Combined with ARDIPOX epoxy grout, the system helped create an installation built to last.
Returning to the site more than three decades later, Adam was able to see first-hand how the specification continues to perform, with the pool retaining the quality, appearance and functionality expected of a high-traffic leisure facility.
For specifiers, contractors and tile fixers alike, it's a reminder that durability isn't measured in months or years, but decades. The continued performance of this installation highlights the lasting reliability of ARDEX systems and the value of investing in quality products from the start.
✅ Installed in 1992
✅ Still performing over 30 years later
✅ Proven durability in demanding pool environments
Because when it comes to tiling, the true test of quality is time.
