Brentwood Steel Tex: Reinforced Waterproofing for Pools

Brentwood Steel Tex, also known as pool wire, is a durable, paper-backed steel mesh designed for the construction of ground-embedded swimming pools. Its primary function is to provide a strong, reinforced waterproof layer between the pool cavity and the new swimming pool. This economical solution not only minimizes concrete waste but also adds an extra layer of security, ensuring the long-term integrity of the in-ground pool.

How Is Steel Tex Manufactured?

Steel Tex is crafted into a securely-fastened mesh using cold-drawn, galvanized, welded steel wires, resulting in a highly robust and heavy-duty waterproof lining. The mesh is coated with wax and reinforced with a kraft paper layer, which is further strengthened by a composite of glass fibers and cloth woven from complex PVC flat threads, enhancing its durability. Steel Tex has a weight range of 155 to 165g/m².

Why Use Steel Tex for Swimming Pool Construction?

Despite its high robustness, Steel Tex remains extremely flexible—an essential quality for swimming pool construction. Using Steel Tex Pool Mesh ensures that no matter the in-ground pool design, the final result will be strong and durable. Additionally, it withstands the rigors of gunite buildup and is resistant to damage from cleaning products and tools.
