SWIMMING POOLS YOUR ROOFING AND WATERPROOFING PARTNER

PVC POOL LINERS PVC-P was first used for swimming-pools liners in 1977, since when there has been a continuous and rapid rise in its use; today it accounts for some 65% of the market. In fact, two out of three swimming pools made in Europe today are lined in PVC-P. PVC-P liners have obvious advantages when compared with traditional systems. The choice of PVC-P allows the structure to be made in thinner, more streamlined concrete which has only a structural function, leaving the waterproofing to the PVC-P liner. This results in lower construction costs and quicker completion. Costs are also...

FLAGPOOL LINER FLAGPOOL is a synthetic liner in PVC-P reinforced with polyester mesh, a liner specifically developed and manufactured for waterproofing, protecting and decorating NEWLY BUILT swimming pools or for RENOVATING existing pools. With FLAGPOOL you can choose any shape you like, with perfect aesthetic results. THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS FLAGPOOL is manufactured by a caste spread process. This is a manufacturing process that creates waterproof liners in which the reinforcement becomes an integral part of the liner. At room temperature, a spreading head lays a substrate of a mixture...

4 swimming pools 3. Waterproof Full waterproofing is assured by the FLAGPOOL liner thus protecting the basic structure of the pool. This allows the swimming-pool to remain full, avoiding continuous and expensive water changes. 4. Does not putrefy and resistant to microorganisms FLAGPOOL does not succumb to molecular alteration. Its BIO-SHIELD formulation ensures total resistance to micro-organisms, fungi, bacteria and spores present in water (even if not frequently changed and with high external temperatures), preventing them from developing. 5. Insensitivity to the hot-cold cycles A...

LAYING INSTRUCTIONS This document will provide brief instructions for installation. For further information on how to lay FLAGPOOL liners, please refer to the specific Technical Brochure “Installation procedures for FLAGPOOL swimming pool liner”. 1. STORAGE FLAGPOOL swimming pool liner is delivered in rolls, stacked on wooden pallets, protected and separated from each other by polystyrene templates and wrapped with transparent polyethylene sheets. They should be stored in a dry place and, if possible, rolls should be protected against humidity and weathering. 2. WELDING The FLAGPOOL liner...

3. CHECKING THE WELDS All welds must be checked. The mechanical test involves passing the rounded tip of a seam probe or screwdriver along all the welding lines. An adequate pressure should be exerted in order to identify any defects in the welded seams. Once identified restore the weld using the Leister-type hot air gun and roller. 4. SEALING WITH LIQUID PVC Sealing with liquid PVC ensures a better aesthetic appearance of the welds and total waterproofing. To prevent blockages or excessive dripping, regularly clean the pouring spout of the liquid PVC. When sealing welds on vertical walls,...
