Panel pools are the industry’s flexible friends…
Panel pools stand out from the crowd as one of the fastest and cleanest way of installing a pool. With an average residential pool installation time between three to five hours, installers can save a lot of time, so they can move on to other aspects of the project, or efficiently switch to simultaneous pool builds.
Suitable for all types of both outdoor and indoor inground installations, panel pools are also a popular choice for commercial pools, especially competition pools. The Polypool system also scores highly where access to site is reduced. The solid construction ensures the walls are straight and avoids any out of alignment discrepancies, a common problem with panel pools.
The 1.2 metre width Insulated panels means you can even take them down stairwells for basement pools meaning tight access is always a breeze. Despite being well established and with several UK Pool & Spa Awards gongs under their belt, the Polypool team are keen to develop its panel brand further so have appointed Certikin as its official distributor.
“By continuing to find ways to increase an already rapid installation time, we are progressing the product further, making it a very strong choice when coming to pool installation options,” says Polypool’s James Hounslow. “The continued growth of Polypool in the industry is exciting as more and more companies are becoming aware and are highly satisfied with the product and service offered.”
With the rising energy costs, customers are conscious of the running costs of their swimming pool. “Being able to offer a system with unrivalled insulation as standard, without the need for additional labour, can make the difference as to whether the customer goes ahead with a swimming pool project,” James continues.
“Our Polypool panels constantly, and consistently receive great feedback from everybody that uses them and Polypool quickly becomes their preferred method of installation.” AstralPool, a company with more than 50 years of experience in the world of pools, flies its significant panel pool flag to the mast of the prefabricated Skypool system.
The SkyPool has been developed as a result of unrivalled experience and the use of cutting-edge technologies for the design, manufacture and installation of pools. The sky is the limit on Fluidra’s appropriately named Skypool system that is ideal for temporary and permanent pools both indoor and outdoor with huge scope for rooftop installations.
Particularly appealing for their distinctive visual appeal for prestigious hotels and spas, the lightness, versatility and ease of installation make it possible to create rooftop pools with outstanding precision, speed and safety. The most cost-effective solution to give pools a new lease on life.
Quick and easy to install with no need to tear down the entire pool, the Skypool’s galvanised steel panels, allows for the removal of the existing pool and the installation of a new overflow channel. They are available in ceramic and non-ceramic finishes, with built-in drainage outlets. Since there is no need to build a complex infrastructure, a high-performance pool can be built more economically.
“AstralPool has a multidisciplinary team able to give specialist support in the development of your project from beginning to end,” says AstralPool General Manager, Dyfed Thompson-Smith. “This means you have an extended member of your team available from preliminary design study and quote through manufacture and worksite management to ensure the installation meets all the required specifications.”
Experts in turnkey solutions AstralPool’s multidisciplinary team are available to develop a project from beginning to end, as well as delivering the degree of experience and know-how expected of a world leader covering:
• Project analysis
• Preliminary design study and quote
• Manufacture
• On site management
• Installation
The Skypool system is available in all sizes, including those that meet FINA competition requirements. The structural calculations for SkyPool panels are made to ensure the resistance of all installations and compliance with European and local standards. The team make specific seismic calculations to comply with the most rigorous standards even resistance to potential earthquakes.
A final lining of a reinforced PVC membrane that is extremely flexible and resistant ensures the complete watertightness of the pool. Playing to their Fluidra strengths, all pool components are readily accessible, any problems are pinpointed faster, so repair and maintenance work is easier and costs less.
Reaffirming their sustainable credentials, all components can be recycled, are non-contaminating and are manufactured using processes with a low environmental impact. As no complex infrastructure has to be built, a high-performance pool can be obtained.
As an added bonus, a typical pool installation can be checked from a technical gallery that provides access to the back of the panels for inspection, maintenance and repair work. This means that pools do not have to be emptied for such work, so they are easier and more profitable to be run as a business concern.
