Incorporating a swimming pool, inground spa, and wellness suite into a home or commercial project can provide luxurious and valuable additions. For domestic clients, these facilities offer a dedicated space for exercise and improving health and wellbeing. For commercial clients, they create inviting social spaces. Designing and constructing these facilities requires careful planning and expertise to meet safety standards and ensure longterm durability.
Clients often have specific ideas about their wet leisure project ' s appearance, features, and impact on their lifestyle or business. Numerous factors need to be considered. Specialist advice and assistance from a SPATA member can help bring these ideas to life practically and cost-effectively, ensuring the project meets timescales and budgets with a quality guarantee.
With over 60 years of experience, SPATA( the Swimming Pool and Allied Trades Association) works with companies that build and install swimming pools, spa pools, and wellness facilities. SPATA members adhere to the industry standards set by SPATA and follow a code of ethics, providing clients with peace of mind regarding the future ownership of their new pool, spa, and wellness suite.
SPATA offers resources for businesses incorporating wet leisure products into their building projects, including a nationwide list of members and a register of commercial contractors. SPATA also has an Allied Trades membership category for consultants, designers, engineers, architects, service organisations, and others involved in the pool industry.
SPATA’ s sister company, BISHTA( the British and Irish Spa and Hot Tub Association), sets the standards for hot tubs and swim spas, ensuring safety, enjoyment, and quality.
