Low Wood Bay Turns to Ceramique Internationale
- Specialist distributor supplies tiles for pool in £16m resort refurbishment
Tile specialist Ceramique Internationale has contributed to a £16m refurbishment project at the prestigious Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa in the Lake District.
The refurbished health club and gym at the famous hotel on Lake Windermere re-opened in April, boasting a reconfigured, spacious fitness studio, a new infra-red sauna, upgraded steam room and a new express spa treatment rooms, ‘The Snug’ which includes manicure and pedicure lounges and massage treatment rooms.
Ceramique Internationale worked with hotel and leisure experts Curveline Design, of Bradford, on the renovation and modernisation of the health club’s swimming pool.
The design brief required all materials to reflect the location of the resort with wood effects playing a prominent role. With this in mind, Ceramique turned to Italian manufacturer Casalgrande Padana to source the perfect tiling solutions.
Casalgrande’s Marte tile in Grigio Maggia 600x600mm tiles were selected for the pool surround, with a Bocciardato finish to provide anti-slip qualities. The surround was completed with the stunning wood-effect Newood Cream Outdoor Bullnose tile to edge the pool.
The pool hall walls were finished with Casalgrande’s Tavolato 1200x200mm tile in Grano effect, creating a warm, welcoming feel to the facility.
David Longbottom, Specification Sales Manager at Ceramique, said: “We have worked with Curveline for a number of years and they always bring something special to hotel and spa designs. The Low Wood Bay pool area is stunning, as is the rest of the resort, and we were delighted to be able to source the perfect tiles for the project.”
The £16million Low Wood Bay project includes the refurbishment and development of the 133 hotel bedrooms, a new restaurant and the creation of extensive indoor and outdoor thermal experiences for guests, including a variety of cabins, relaxation areas, an infinity pool, hot tubs and sauna, with stunning views across Lake Windermere.
