How
will the pool be built and how quickly?
The simple answer
is your pool will be completed in around three to four weeks and after
agreeing the final location and what to do with the spoil we undertake all
the technical and building aspects. Leaving you to go shopping for a new
swimming costume.
The longer answer for
those intrigued by the more technical aspects:
Your
pool will be built using Polypool patented interlocking panels,
where each panel locks to
the next with key locks. The panels are
manufactured by Polypool in its UK factory using CFC free rigid polyurethane
insulation foam injected between two facing sheets in pre-set jigs. The foam
injection process is undertaking in large hydraulic presses to ensure
dimensional stability and insulation density requirements. Overall average
panel foam density of 40/kg/m3 gives
the following 'u' value.
125mm panel 0.084 watts / m2 Kelvin.
All panels have an integrally formed compressible closed cell sealing system.
Your pool will be marked out and then carefully excavated to reduce the
amount of garden area affected and volume of spoil to be removed ,
A
concrete ring beam will be cast and the pools bottom self-squaring channel
is fitted on this beam and camlocked insulated panels fitted. The top rail
is then located in place and, suddenly your pool starts to look like the
real thing.
Braces are fixed to
the back of the panels and concrete poured to strengthen the beam and brace
system. Once the chosen lighting heating, and, filtration pipe work are
connected the oversite is filled with pea shingle to allow for any ground
movement and to facilitate the ability to upgrade your pools utilities
should you choose to do so in the future.
The pool floor is now screeded for strength and durability and 50mm
polystyrene foam is fitted to complete the insulation. This protects the
liner, from abrasion, and protects your head from potentially harmful
contact with the concrete base! Add the water and go and fetch your swimming
costume.
