The Linnanmaa swimming hall offers visitors several different pools. In addition to the fitness pool, the hall features a multifunctional pool, a children's pool, and a teaching pool. The new Linnanmaa swimming hall was designed by the Oulu-based architecture firm Arktes Oy.
The total water surface area in the swimming hall is an impressive 855 m².
ABL-Laatat supplied the ceramic tiles for the Linnanmaa swimming hall, covering everything from the locker rooms and shower areas to the floor tiles and pool mosaics, based on the Sopro tiling system.
Sopro products are used to renovate and construct thousands of private and public swimming pool facilities worldwide. Our swimming hall tiling partner, Buchtal, collaborates with them internationally, enabling us to offer a comprehensive solution for swimming hall projects, from competition pools to spas.
