An outdoor pool can be such a busy, vibrant place in the
summer, full of swimmers of every type and purpose. inevitably the weather
turns and with it the outdoor pool season draws to a close. Formerly happy,
bustling places became forlorn and abandoned. So,
what options are available for pool owners ?
It may be time
to consider an enclosure to extend the swim season year round
Deciding
on a pool enclosure is a big decision as well as a large investment. there
are many types and styles, and it is not always easy to decide which
enclosure to choose. When selecting an enclosures the objective is to strike
a balance with a system that addresses energy efficiency, creates an
appealing user environment and minimizes condensation.
Enclosures
types:
1.
Traditional brick and mortar pool structures
2.
Aluminum-framed, glazed
enclosures with retractable roof panels.
Description of aluminum framed sliding enclosures:
We manufacture enclosures that consists of
aluminum profiles in high-quality alloy with a basis of manganese and
silicium (ref.606035, t6f22s) of an increased resistance and of a weight of
+/- 2,3kg/m for the carrier profile. as glazing, we fit the normal or flaky
6 mm glass (recyclable) in (if you want we can also put plexiglas). the roof
sections are glazed in 16 mm polycarbonate triple partition, interior faced
treated against condensation. the interior structure is made out of
stainless steel. on this quality, you have a n Omnium guarantee during 10
years on parts, labour and travel expenses, and 25 years on the structure
against storms until 150km/h and snow pressure of 120kg/m2.
Our profiles are thermo-lacquered with a
projection of dry polyester powder and baked in an oven to +/- 200C during
+/- 45 minutes (all colours of the RAL palette are possible). before the
thermolaquage, the profiles have been cromated, to prevent all risk of
electrolysis between the aluminum profile and the screws or the interior
structure made of stainless steel. A protective silicone coating is also
applied between the two materials, all the times of the assembly.
The Neoprene gaskets aren't used anymore for
over 10 years, because the melting point of neoprene is too low for a
swimming pool enclosure where elevated temperature are reached in the sun.
the Neoprene could melt then and could deteriorate the glazing. we use the
Santopreen, that is an improved variant, of which the point of fusion is
located around 125 C, what avoids all risk of damage to the glazing. also
thanks to the use of gaskets, no dirt can be trapped. Maintenance is
strongly improved, without speaking of the bacteriological problems in a
system without gaskets. the gaskets also avoid that the glazing cannot move
or vibrate because of wind in the frame of aluminum, avoiding all "trembling"
noises thus.
Our enclosures roll on superior quality
"Novatron" wheels, mounted on a stainless steel axis. the Novatron
being a self-lubricated material, no maintenance is necessary, oil nor
grease.
In the event your pavement would be unequal, or if you want a
manipulation more than easy, we can put the enclosure on "rails".
our rail consists of an anodised aluminum lath with a total height of 13
mm, with conical sides to avoid all injuries; the end of the
"rail" is decorated with a mouthpiece made of rubber to finish.
this lath served to protect your pavement against the marking by the wheels
and the wear of your joints mainly, that otherwise break, since the wheels
are harder than the joints. we choose to use the anodised aluminum does not
heat up in the sun, avoiding one to burn his feet. in case of use of a
"rail" a flexible PVC gasket. this gasket avoids all entry of dirt
(leaves, etc), via the bottom. Without "rail" we fit a brush in
polypropylene.
The
gap between the different sliding sections is closed by means of a
polypropylene brush, (held in a stainless steel support) to avoid all entry
of dirt as dead leaves, etc..
Every enclosure is automatically equipped with a sliding door with child
lock on each front. we have the possibility to put in several doors on a
front to have an opening as big as possible.
